Bosch Heat Pump Dryer won't dry clothes properly? I'll show you how

Thank you. I've been very frustrated with my clothes remaining damp. I've read the manual over and over but I'll take on your tips. It seems I've had a universal problem.

I had this dryer for about 5 years and with your video it's actually drys much better now 👍 thanks for sharing this information

Thank goodness for this video. I was told by a Bosch engineer who came out that you'll never get clothes to dry as older driers did. This is because of the Grenfell Towers disaster where a domestic appliance started the fire that spread to the cladding. An engineer who came to install my new dishwasher told me that was rubbish I had been told about my tumble drier!

What an Easter egg at 3 minutes and 45 seconds I really laughed my ass off

Cheers for this I have the Bosch serie 4 heatpump tumble dryer and was always using the “cupboard dry” mode with max drying level and towels and bed sheets were still damp after finishing. I would rerun the same cycle and would go on for another 5 minutes and then stop. This works way better!

Thank you for this very helpful video, we recently bought the series 6 in Spain and I’d been pretty disappointed with its performance (especially with bedsheets) and as all the buttons and the manual are in Spanish I wasn’t sure how to fix the problem, I started watching another video which I cut short after the guy began pulling out screwdrivers (our machine is brand new!), yours was the second video on the list and I’m so happy as it was such a simple fix, sheets are dry and kids beds are made, thanks again!.

Thanks for the useful info . I just bought one from a lady who used it twice and said it never dried properly . Usual excellent Bosch quality , just a bit surprised that they did not pick up a problem with drying items properly or resolve the tangling issues during testing .... surely they actually test an appliance before it is let loose on the general public ?

The fluff filter must be cleaned every time. The fine mesh will block and will not let moisture pass through the condenser. So moisture stays in the drum. I clean the filter under running water and rub the mesh between my finger to remove the build up of limescale from the filter. If you can blow through the mesh and feel,the air pass through, it’s clear. Got this tip from reading the comments on another you tube vid.

Having had this dryer (series 4 but still a heat pump Bosch) for a while, I much prefer it to really any other drier, simply because it looks after clothes so much better. I think the heat inside only gets up to 40-50c depending on the ambient temperature, where as conventional driers literally cook the clothes, shrink elastic bands and pill garments while stretching them out of shape. I’m happy to wait 2.5 hours for dry clothes if it has used 1/3 the energy and actually protecting my laundry lol

We had the same problem. Fixed by using the ‘down/wear’ cycle!! Even though it says 3 hours, you can stop it after 90 mins or so and it’s dry!

Thanks for sharing, will give it a try, but I think this machine has design issue and I haven't get any dry load after each cycle....

very useful video, thank you!! The modes are completely useless since they always leave clothes damp for me. I have to do another 30 mins or so of drying each time. The timer is also not useful as it's inaccurate (guessing that's due to the sensor, but find it rather redundant). I defaulted to using timed progr. warm

Nice video very informative...I have the same machine...can you please do a video of how to check moisture sensor and basic cleaning and checking of the dryer. Thank you!!

It’s interesting to re watch knowing the twist

I have the series 4 only use the time setting have it run for 3 hours still damp and have to run a further 3 hours

Thank you so much, great information 👍🏻

I have just bought a Bosch series 4 heat pump dryer and I'm extremely dissatisfied with it. They have made it so energy efficient it is useless for drying clothes. I'm surprised such a reputable manufacturer would sell this as a high quality product and at such a high price. Something is wrong somewhere. I've used mine only 4 times and I want them to take it back and give me a refund. The dryer is useless.

Yes, I have this issue and Im just feed up with damp sheets/towels/jeans etc, while I agree we all should read the manual but there should be a simple sticker and directions clear and that it works.....thanks for the above lets see can I avoid getting a new machine (not Bosch, if this does not work)

It’s not just sheets it’s everything! There is almost always a very damp item. Also if I just put one item in because it’s needed that day it doesn’t dry it at all. I really hate it and now I’m stuck with it.

This dryer is the worst! Your video is very helpful however I would still tell anyone who is considering this model to steer clear! Thanks for your advice :)
