door switch would be the first thing i would check

Dave

[electrofix]

well none of those are error codes

how old is the dryer ?

does the dryer not even run at all or will it work for a few minutes ?

Dave

[electrofix]

from what i can see error codes are a series of lights on the control panel

if you post a pic of the panel after it fails will see what i can find

Dave

[electrofix]

well the short answer is maybe

without access to Bosch tech info ( and its hard to get ) then you dont know the value of the ntc for a given temp

so you would have to fit one and hope as it could be the board

At about £50 its a hard call ( slighly cheaper on some trade sites and you can get 25{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} trade discount from Siemens but then have to pay postage )

possibly
but
its built to a price point. years ago the tops of cookers were vitreous enameled. so never peeled. with the price demand of customers it is too costly to do this so you end up with paint that goes

also I went into an english electric cooker factory years ago. In those days they kept parts available for 25 years which was the expected product life. Today we a lucky if some parts dont got obsolete in under 5 years

all these problems are customer led, if you stop wanting cheap appliances instead of quality appliances then things would improve

had that sort of fault on other units when door micros dont quite make it

Dave

[electrofix]

well if brushes are ok then its down to

wiring
motor
control board

wiring could be cheap but the other 2 start getting expensive

Dave

[electrofix]

does sound like it may be the inverter
but
these units use panasonic parts so you can get the inverter a lot cheaper than the £145 siemans want

look at the inverter and there is a number on it poss starting F606

type that into ebay and there is a good chance you will find something that will do the same job. It will in fact be the identical part but not supplied by siemans

also beware you are dealing with lethal voltages so you have to take suitable precautions

I cant promise a new inverter will cure it but it does sound likely

you cant see that element because its under the floor

Dave

[electrofix]

your oven is a multi function oven
you can use it in fan oven mode or convection mode or convection fan mode

fan mode uses an element at the rear
convection mode uses top and bottom elements

lower element is probably this one

when working as an oven it works with 2 elements and one is under the floor of the oven

get lots of them where customer complains oven does not get hot enough and the lower element has failed

dave

[electrofix]

they normally pulse on and off because of air flow problems. blocked filters or tubes

Dave

[electrofix]

can be various things including dirty waveguide cover or comtamination on the aerial

also customers dont seem to realise that its bad to turn microwaves on with nothing in it. those waves have to go somewhere so its more liklely to flash over

Dave

[electrofix]

if your running on max power, dont, its meant for short bursts only

Dave

aswo have the heater

£39 plus vat
