How do you fix a Bosch dryer error yourself?

The lint trap is clogged. Clean it as follows:

1. Take out the lint trap.
2. Remove large dust participles.
3. Rinse the filter under the faucet.
4. Put the filter back in place.

To avoid this error in the future, empty the lint trap after each dryer cycle.

The condensation drain hose is kinked or blocked.

1. Check for a kink and remove it.
2. Is there no kink? The hose may be clogged.
3. Loosen the hose clamp on the siphon.
4. Carefully remove the drain hose.
5. Clean the hose and the siphon connector.
6. Place it back.

The heating circuit has a malfunction. Bosch recommends having this repaired by a technician.

The power source that supplies power to the dryer, has an error.

1. Turn off the dryer and unplug the connector from the socket.
2. Plug it back in after a couple of minutes.
3. Restart the cycle.
4. Doesn't the error code disappear? Have a technician look at it.
5. You'll possibly need a new power unit.

The dryer needs maintenance, which you can perform yourself.

1. Set the dial to the cotton cycle (the option next to the off-mode).
2. Press the symbol with the iron (at the bottom of the display) and don't let go.
3. Set the dial one quarter to the right at the same time (level it to the sports cycle).
4. 'CP1' and the cycle duration appear on the display.
5. Pour 1.5L of hot water into the condenser reservoir.
6. Put the reservoir back until you hear it click.
7. Press the start-pause button to start the maintenance cycle.
8. When the dryer is clean, 'End' will appear on the display and a noise will be audible.
9. Empty the reservoir and put it back.

Do you have one of the malfunctions below? The electronics won't function properly due to a malfunction or defect. Bosch recommends having this checked out by a technician:

• E08 or E09
• E24 or E25
• E63
• E90

When the light for the condenser reservoir comes on, the container is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the container back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. In addition, the drain shouldn't be higher up than 1m.

Clean the condenser, just to be sure. With a condenser dryer, you take the condenser out of the dryer and rinse it under the faucet. With a heat pump dryer, the condenser is fixed. You can clean it from the outside with a vacuum brush. It can also help to unplug the connector from the socket for 30 minutes and restart the dryer cycle. Still see the error? Contact the customer service if the dryer is still covered by the warranty. Or contact the Bosch service point.
