After receiving indication that the filter and condensation water container should be cleaned and emptied, the machine still stops after a short while despite these actions. Is there any other container that can be emptied or must other actions be taken or do you have any tips for actions ???

After setting the wash cycle on my BOSCH Maxx 6 Sensitive dryer, I hear the sound of water filling up, followed by a slight starting sound of the motor, but the motor doesn't start spinning. Can you please tell me what could be causing this? How should I handle it?

After starting, we usually use "Cupboard Dry" for every program, but with every other program, it starts 1-2 times and then stops the entire program due to a tank error code (there is not a single drop of water in the tank, I cleaned the filters as well). What could be the problem? (I have attached a picture. Thank you in advance.)

Hi, May I know how to operate yr dryer maxx6? It's a very old model
Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Bosch Maxx 6 WTV74100NL below.
What is a condenser dryer?
A condenser dryer is a dryer in which condensation ends up in a reservoir.
What is a drain dryer?
A drain dryer is a dryer in which the warm air and condensation are drained through a hose.
What is the best thing to do about a smelly dryer?
It is best to wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth and some lemon cleaner.
There is a burning smell from my dryer, now what?
Check the following: - That the fluff filter is clean. - That the bottom of the dryer is free of dust. - That the drain hose is clean. If the above does not help, a mechanic should be called in.
Why is my Bosch Maxx 6 dryer not starting when I press the power button?
There could be a few reasons for this issue. First, make sure that the dryer is properly plugged into a power outlet. Also, check if the circuit breaker has not been tripped. If these are not the causes, it could be a problem with the door switch. Ensure that the dryer door is fully closed and latched, as the dryer won't start if it detects an open door.
How can I resolve the problem of my dryer not generating any heat?
If your Bosch Maxx 6 dryer is not producing heat, it may be due to a faulty heating element. Check if the dryer is set to a heat-producing cycle and that the temperature settings are appropriate. Another possibility is that the lint filter or exhaust vent is clogged, which can hinder proper airflow and heating. Clean both the lint filter and the exhaust vent thoroughly to ensure efficient performance.
Why is my Bosch Maxx 6 dryer taking much longer than usual to dry clothes?
If your dryer is taking longer to dry clothes, it may indicate an issue with the airflow. Check that the lint filter is clean and free of debris. Additionally, inspect the exhaust vent to ensure it is not obstructed or clogged. A restricted airflow can prolong the drying time. You may also need to reduce the load size, as overloading the dryer can negatively impact drying efficiency.
How can I stop my Bosch Maxx 6 dryer from making loud noises during operation?
Unusual noises during dryer operation can be caused by a few factors. First, ensure that the dryer is installed on a level surface, as an uneven surface can lead to vibrations and noise. Check if any objects, such as loose coins or buttons, are trapped in the drum or the baffles. Additionally, inspect the drum belt for signs of wear or damage, as a faulty belt can cause noisy operation.
What should I do if my Bosch Maxx 6 dryer displays an error code?
If your dryer shows an error code, consult the user manual to identify the specific issue. Different error codes indicate different problems. However, you can try a general troubleshooting step by unplugging the dryer from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This may reset the system and clear some minor errors. If the error persists, it's recommended to contact a qualified technician for further assistance.
Is the manual of the Bosch Maxx 6 WTV74100NL available in English?
Yes, the manual of the Bosch Maxx 6 WTV74100NL is available in English .
