Bosch Classixx WFV2402GB

[admin]

Searched for an answer to this but couldn’t find one.

Basically, when my Bosch washer dryer is put on to dry, the dryer seems to overheat, and steam starts coming from the powder drawer, as well as from the actual door. When the door is opened, the heat from the dryer is ridiculous, and towels etc cant be handled for 5 mins.

If anyone could help with this it woulod be most appreciated.

Look toward the cold fill valve as it isn’t taking cold water to condense the steam by the sound of it.

Power off first please :zap:

Your duplicated post deleted as well 😀

Firstly – sorry about the duplicate post.

Secondly – I’m not sure where I’m looking on the washer. Any indication as to where the cold fill valve is?

Thanks

On the inside end of the cold fill hose. If you don’t know what you’re doing please get pro help.

Check repairs@ or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area.

Checked the valves, all supplying water, however steam is still being produced. The rubber hose had a split in it coming from the valve, but I’ve replaced it, but the problem persists.

Water is definitely taken in when drying, however there seems to be a blockage of some sort from letting it get through.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Right, the problem is probably quite simple, although awkward to solve. If you wish to try this yourself, you must pull the plug, and be prepared to cut your hands to ribbons……..

The condenser housing will be choked with fluff at some point, restricting the airflow around the machine. This is usually in the black plastic pipe section coming up the back/side of the machine. If you look closely at the way the machine is assembled, you will realise that this was all mounted on the drum before it was put in the casing……..

Somehow, it all needs to be cleaned out and ideally, the fan defluffed (it must be moving some air or the safety would have tripped). As the steam is venting through the soap drawer, any restriction is likely to be in the lower part of the ducting, preventing the condenser section from functioning correctly.

It is a pig of a job to sort out on these Spanish-built machines, pro help may well be you best option.
