Bosch Exxcel dryer- Stops with ‘Empty Filter’ warning

[leedsone]

Hi all,

I have a Bosch WTL6305GB/ 01 (6kg Exxcel condenser model). Roughly 10/15 minutes into a cycle, the dryer stops with a warning beep, and the ‘Empty filter’ light comes on. The heater is working and cycle seems to reach normal temperature.

I have checked the basics so far:

-Lint screen has been washed (checked the mesh is breathable, no problems here)
-Condenser unit was a bit clogged- I’ve soaked and rinsed this, looks quite clear now
-No other obvious fluff causing obstructions in the airways, checked the heater area is clear, and wiped some fluff build up from a temperature sensor here.

The fault occurs on any of the programs I have tried (low and high heat)- could anyone advise how the ‘Empty filter’ warning is triggered, is it temperature related from one of the sensors?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

Check the pump it does clog up with fluff and bosch like to have plenty of airflow so check the front fan aswell hope this helps kai

Thanks Kai,

The front fan looked clear to me but I’ll have a proper look once I’ve got the pump out too…will update you how I get on!
