Re: Replacing the heater on Bosch SGS43e02

It’s a white one, so must be the felt which is good news. So it’s off with top and side panels (easy), off with the door (trickier, but hopefully obvious) and then lift off the stainless steel after detaching any other components that are attaching the two together.

If that’s it I should be OK, so thanks for the help!!

Re: Replacing the heater on Bosch SGS43e02

Many thanks for the advice.

I’ve removed the side panels before so presumably it’s a job of disconnecting everything that connects the top and the bottom and lifting the whole thing off the top.

Can I just check, though – looking at the diagrams I have there is I can see that the top and side panels wrap around some further panels which themselves wrap around the stainless steel inner. Do each of these need to be separated or does the whole lot come off in one big lift up?

I am pretty confident I can do this, but the more pointers I can have makes the job quicker and makes me more confident that I am doing the right thing.

Thanks,
Rob

Re: Bosch SGS4302 – not heating up and stuck on 1 minute

OK – the part has arrived. Looks straightforward to attach if only I could get access to it.

Can anyone confirm, is this a turn the machine upside down job and remove the base or do I have to access the heater in some other way?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

OK – it’s confirmed that the heater is bust. I’m about to place an order for the spare.

Two questions:

1. How do I get access to replace it? Is it a turn the machine upside down job? If so, is it pretty obvious?

2. Did I cause this by leaving vinegar in it all night to get rid of the scale?

Thanks,
Rob

That’s what I feared, so thanks for that.

Unfortunately I had to tidy the kitchen up, so measurement will have to wait until later in the week or next weekend. 🙁

Thanks for all the help – very much appreciated.

Do I need to unplug all the wires or just the two main ones?

Neither, more likely the heater i’m afraid 😕

OK – I have checked the PCB – looks fine.

I have cleaned out the hose and the water level control. The float was stuck down in scale. Have reassembled and started running the auto programme. After 25 minutes I have opened the dw and the water is still cold.

Therefore I assume it is the heating element.

I have re-opened the dw and located the heating element (towards the back on the rhs?). It has lots terminals going into it. So which ones do I test for resistance?

Re: Replacing the door latch on a Bosch tumble dryer (WTA 31

Sorry I can see how you misunderstood me. I can open the door of the tumble dryer, no problem. But how do I get inside the door to replace the part? There seem to be no screws to undo or anything. It loks like a sealed unit.
