Bosch dryers,
specifically.
Bosch dryers in the US are 24-inch compact machines that need no exhaust duct: a condensation dryer in the 300 Series and heat-pump dryers above it. They are usually stacked on or set beside a Bosch washer, so most calls revolve around lint screens, the condenser, the collected water and the shared power connection.

The Bosch
lineup.
Bosch builds 3 of the 4 dryer types this site covers. Which one decides how the visit is planned.
All dryer typesWhat is particular
to Bosch.
The 300 Series WTG86400UC is a condensation dryer, while the 500 Series WQB245B0UC and the WTW87NH1UC are heat-pump models; all are 24 inches wide and stack with a Bosch washer. The heat-pump models add a compressor and the self-cleaning condenser to what a visit may need to test.
A condenser that rinses itself
Bosch heat-pump dryers flush lint off the condenser with every cycle instead of relying on a second filter. That only works with the blue filter fully seated; if it is not, lint travels into the condenser and can clog it.
One power connection for the pair
A Bosch washer can plug into the back of the dryer, and the supplied power adapter feeds both machines from one 30-amp dryer receptacle. A pair that goes dark together often has one cause, starting at the adapter, its fuses or the breaker.
Room temperature sets drying time
The heat-pump manual names an ambient range of 59 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit for normal drying time. A dryer in a cold garage or a sealed hot closet can run long with nothing broken.
Water goes to a container or a drain
Condensed water ends up in a pull-out container or runs out through the outlet hose. A full container, a kinked hose or a dirty container filter will stop a program, and all three are checked before any part is suspected.
Parts
Bosch states that function-relevant spare parts are available from its customer service for up to 15 years after a model is placed on the market. Parts are still matched by the E-Nr. on the rating label, which is confirmed before ordering.
Repair or replace
A compact ventless dryer is chosen because a duct is hard or impossible to run, so replacing it means finding another 24-inch ventless unit that fits the stack. That usually makes repair the better answer unless the heat-pump circuit itself has failed on an older machine.
