    Our condensing tumble dryer has recently started to give off a musty smell which can be detected in the items being dried. I have done the usual and cleaned out the lint filter, the cooler and every passage I can reach but the smell persists. When working the smell seems to come out the vent on the front bottom right behind which I can see some sort of cylindrical filter. I would like to get the vent panel off to inspect this but cannot see how it is located and I am a bit wary of prising it off. Any help would be appreciated. Also any other suggestions where else to look for the problem and more importantly how to access it.

    go to

    http://www.bosch-home.co.uk/store/spareparts/search

    put in your e number and get to the diagrams page 5

    on this dryer fluff builds up under cover 0509
    and around the pump 0512

    to get access you have to strip off the left hand side but it also entails removing control panel to get at some of the screws

    you will need 2 torx drivers T15 and T20

    you have basically got wet fluff that needs to be removed

    I would also remove element cover page 2 item 0204 and check in there

    hope it helps
