Bosch Nexxt 500 Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How do i clean the lint trap?
Yes, this is a problem for our Nexxt dryer as well. This may work for you. I took an old garden hose, cut about three feet off it, then took a cap from spray paint can, cut a hole in it the diameter of garden hose. Put the hose in the cap. The spray paint cap fits nicely on my shop vac. Took the shop vac in the laundry room and attached the spray cap with the garden hose inserted and vacuumed the lint from the slot using the end of the garden hose. Worked pretty well. If you don't have a shop vac you may be able to stick a flexible hose in the end of you home vac and hold it with your hand to seal it. That should be able to remove most of the lint. Good luck.
No Heat? Everything else works
Dear Judi,
Using an electric meter, begin checking the various thermostats and the fuse for continuity.
Also, check the heater coils.
In all cases, remove the wires from the part before checking it, and be certain to remember from whence you took teach wire.
You should find one of the the thermostats, or the fuse, or the heating element is "open" and needs replacement.
God bless your effort.
How do I fix if HEAT ELEMENT,CUT OUT SWITHC AND HIGHLIMIT THERMOSTAT ARE NEW BUT STILL NO HEAT?
First, turn off the breaker then back on. It should be a two poled breaker that is connected by a bar. Chances are this is where the problems lies. If not there, inspect the wiring from the outlet to the back of the dryer. The wires could have burned iOS come loose. This is retry basic since you have done all the hard work. Let me know if this gets it and we will pursue further.
How do I remove lint that gets past filter
There are brushes that run through the exhaust like a chimney sweep,
You can also do that by hand. What ever you do, there will be a lot of loose stuff left in the pipe; so don't clean the outside vent until last.
Bosh dryer overheating
sounds like its compacted with fluff inside the casing... you'll have to undo the screws that hold the casing on... slide it off... clean out all the fluffy then vacuum out any dust too.. before you replace the casing switch on and run to see if it still overheats..
I have have found this to be the case on several occasions not just mine but friends dryers too...
hope it helps...
Lint light flashing
The problem may be with air flow through the lint filter screen. The filter is a fine screen and even though it appears to be lint free, it may not be. Spray the screen with a degreaser, use a soft brush to gently scrub it, and rinse under running water. This may solve your problem.
Noise while running
OR the felt in the back of the drum wore a bit and now it is riding Metal on metal.
Bets way is to dismantle and look for scratch marks
