Leave the program alone until Hot goes out. ### Why shouldn't I change the program while my Bosch dryer shows Hot? Bosch asks you not to, because the drum is using that time to cool the load. Let it finish, and the display moves on once cooling ends. ### How long does the Hot phase last on a Bosch dryer? Up to 10 minutes on the 500 Series. If Hot seems to last far longer, note how long and book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Bosch dryer showing Hot | DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/bosch-hot/)** **[Book a visit with DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/schedule/)**
