I have a bosch vision 300 series dryer bought new from Lowe's 5 years ago. It runs but is not getting warm and will not dry the clothes. Any suggestions?

If this is the electric version then after 15 years you probably need a new heating element, they are not difficult to install and are not terribly expensive as a DIY project.
I just want to put this information in the Internet because I found nothing but an accurate and incomplete information. The Bosch 300 series electric dryer absolutely, positively, does have a reset switch. To access it you have to take the entire back plate off the dryer. There are like 30 torques screws. Takes forever. When viewing the back of the dryer down on the lower right there is a silver box shaped thing that is your heating element. Next to it is a red button. While googling I've found a dialogue between a repair man and a customer and the repairman said he looked at the schematic I did not have a reset switch. That information is wrong
1. Washer/dryers generally take longer to dry clothes than a stand-alone dryer so if you previously had a stand-alone and are now using a combi, this could be the reason. 2. There are usually at least 2 heat settings on a dryer, so maybe you have it on a cool setting? 3. The last part of a drying cycle (5-10 minutes) is usually cool - even when on a high setting. This helps to reduce creasing and cools metal parts such as zips and buckles for saftey. This could explain why everything feels cool when you remove the clothes.
It's possible your old dryer didn't have the cool final setting and/or it was higher power than your new Bosch and therefore dried the clothes quicker.
If your new machine is taking an eternity and your clothes still aren't properly dry, then there may be a fault with your dryer thermostat which is switching the heating coil/element off at too low a temperature. However, I suspect your problem is related to information I've written above.
It would help to know whether you have an Axxis washer/dryer or just a dryer. If the information above doesn't help you to solve your problem, please post back with details of your machine, including the model number, if possible.
