Bosch gas WTMC 6500 dryer won't start. Start/Stop light blinking

Hi Patti,

I saw your problem above for the first time just now. Not knowing what was going on before I can say that you might want to look at the door switch.

Most dryers that I have seen will not allow the drum to start or continue to spin if the door is open. This is a safety feature nearly every dryer (or washer for that matter) employs. If the switch (or associated wiring or circuitry) fails to send or detect the signal that indicates the door has not been closed, it will not start.

I hope this helps & good luck!

Try cleaning out the compartment below the lint filter. There's a sensor in there that is probably buried in lint.

God bless you

check and see if the outlit it is plugged in to works with somthing simple like a light somthing may have triped the breaker in your house

I've had the same problem, found it to be the start/stop button, I have to push it REALLY HARD then it starts.

Since there is no water lines connected to a Bosch Nexxt WTMC 6500 gas dryer, the water leak has to be from excess water from the clothes you are trying to dry. Which is probably more the problem.

Does your washer leave an excessive amount of water in the clothes after the spin cycle?

We had the same problem as many here have described. After cleaning out the vent system with compressed air and a vacuum cleaner, the appliance still failed to start. I unplugged the unit for a few minutes, turned it back on and it still failed to start. I turned the rotary dial to "SHORT" pressed start and it worked!!!! Not sure if thats the magic sequence or i just got lucky but Good luck.

If you use dryer sheets they create a wax coating on the lint screen,even tho it looks clean,use dish soap and hot water to remove this,dry it then put it back in and try it.
Hope this helped.Let me know by rating me
