Bosch WVT1260GB/01

[geoffmackay]

Calling all Bosch experts. This washer drier refuses to dry . Checked fan, running at correct speed. Checked stats toc and element ok. Heater box gets hot but clothes are stone cold after 10 mins.
I was thinking blocked condenser but surley clothes have to heat up to steam first. No blockage in heater box or spout into drum. Condenser looks clean under fan. Machine is flushing and pumping ok.
Wasa thinking along the lines of Zanussi washer drier if condenser blocked clothes are hot but wet?
Any ideas guys?

Have you checked there is water entering the little chamber.

The Element should have Resistance: 34.5- 36.5Ω

The NTC operating range is between –5 °C and 103 °C.
The programme continues cold in the event of an interruption or a
short- circuit. The test programme displays “NTC short circuit” or “NTC
interruption”.

Temperature in °C Resistance in kΩ
10 °C 8.5–10.6
20 °C 5.4–6.5
30 °C 3.5–4.3
40 °C 2.3–2.9
50 °C 1.5–1.9
60 °C 1.1–1.3
66 °C 0.9–1.1
86 °C 0.45–0.55
