Bosch Serie 6 washer/dryer not draining ONLY when drying

[Chrisb88]

Hi All, I have a Bosch Serie6 washer dryer and it is washing perfectly fine, but when it is drying it does not drain and the clothes then come out soaking wet. The filter isn't blocked and I've cleaned debris from the waste pipe, but really I wouldn't have thought this to be an issue as the washing cycles are draining fine. Any help or comments appreciated here!

Hi, is it spinning ok on the wash cycle but not drying on the drying cycle? I have 2 help articles specific to washer dryer drying faults -

Washer dryer not heating on dry cycle

Laundry comes out of washer dryer hot & steamy

Hi, everything on the wash seems fine. The drying cycle spins and heats up but just does not drain, leaving the water to soak back into the heated clothes

As the washer works ok it can't be anything to do with the pump being blocked. If you can hear the pump energising on the drying cycle it must be that the condensed water from drying is not running into the main drum to be pumped away. Check the plastic condenser chamber at the back of the machine for build up of lint or blockages in the hose where water runs down into the drum to be pumped away.

Thanks I'll have a look. After I cleaned out the drain pipe it dried clothes for one cycle but then when I tried to repeat this on another load it went back to the fault, whilst still working fine for a wash cycle. Not sure if this assists your answer. I'll let you know how your recommendations go.

Hello there,

Realise this an old post but we have the exact same issue with the same machine, just started last night. Saw this and wondered if how/if you resolved it? Ironically, the machine is just out of its manufacturers warranty!

Thanks in advance.
