Bosch Classixx condenser dryer model WLT6102GB/02, FD 8210 200463.
When switched on the drum makes 5 rotations with the Drying light lit, makes one rotation with the Anti crease/End light lit, then stops. This happens on all programmes except the 30 minute warm, which works perfectly. The machine is clean, including the condenser unit which is held in by blue twist clips, and was running ok.
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Further to the above, perhaps a better description of the problem will aid diagnosis. When switched on with any programme other than the 30 minute warm the drum makes 5×5 second rotations each in an opposite direction. There is a short pause, the the Anti crease/End light illuminates and the drum rotates for 5 seconds then stops for good. 30 minute warm cycle starts with same 5×5 second rotations, pauses then continues normally. Is the control module waiting for an input from a component before proceeding?
Any ideas of which component to check and how? Or am I missing the blindingly obvious?Somebody out there can be a Hero and save this machine from the skip!
Is it you?
Is this with wet clothes in the drum ? The ‘sensor’ cycles won’t work properly unless there is a wet load in the drum which also must be a fairly full load. Single items or a load full of ‘smalls’ may cause the sensors to detect an empty/dry load condition which will end the selected cycle.
A ‘timed’ cycle works soley on time and not on sensing the dampness of the clothes in the drum.If the sensor cycle still stops quickly when full , make a note of any flashing LEDs as these could point towards an error state.

nomadPaul, you are a Hero indeed!
Put in a load of wet towels and off it went!
To add more to the story, the machine stopped working with the symptoms described. Removing the lower front plastic facia revealed that the condenser box held in by the blue clips was totally blocked with baked hard fluff, and that the duct that channels air from the drum down to it was full too, covering a sensor of some type. I cleaned it all, re-assembled it and switched it back on, empty. No joy, same story as before. I didn’t think to try it with wet washing, because I overlooked the fact it is a sensor type drier. The blindingly obvious, but not to me.
So nomadPaul, my heartfelt thanks, and may I nominate you for the Domestic Appliance Service medal for your accurate diagnosis. My machine lives to Dry another Day.
Many, many thanks
