Bosch WFT2800 overheat stat problem

[Twoten]

About a year ago the above machine overheat limiter went O/C. This was reset and has been OK since.

Two weeks ago it tripped again so I checked the machine and reset. It has only lasted another 2 weeks being used twice and gone again.

The fan appears to run OK, the cold valve into the condenser seems OK.

I have run the dryer and made sure the NTC sensor cuts the heater outer when it gets hot and doesn’t trip out the limiter.

I suspect it may be the NTC sensor only because I’m running out of ideas.

Does anyone have any other suggestions .

Thanks,

Keith.

Did you clear out all the fluff from the condenser and bottom hose Keith?

Yes, removed the hose from the tub and had a clean out, it wasn’t too bad.

Whole condenser needs to be removed and either cleaned (with hosepipe) or replaced.

This will cure the problem 😉
