Bosch WTW87560GB/02 Heat Pump Tumble Dryer Not Drying Properly

July 31, 2024
Customer Question

Hi Paul,You suggested I contact you here.Initially Bosch WTW87560GB/02 heat pump tumble dryer was immediately showing an error code E90 and I traced the issue to a relay on the power board. I've replaced that and the dryer operates but it just takes ages to dry anything.So far I have stripped the dryer down and cleaned the evaporator and condenser heat exchangers.I've checked the resistance of the pump (170ohms).I have run all the tests in maintenance mode but not sure what pre-requisites are and what each test does. Results of the tests are as follows:P01 to P03 - appear to run with no errorsP04: Test returns E-14 -00P05 to P09: appear to run with no errorsP10 returns 10 and 979P11 returns 10 and 826P12 to P28 returns E-14 -00I have ordered two more relays and plan to replace them in case they got taken out.Other than that I'm not sure what the issue could be other than maybe the compressor not working properly.Thanks in advance for any help.Ian

I will try and help with this problem about Bosch WTW87560GB/02 Heat Pump Tumble Dryer,

Hi Ian,

I know it's hard to diagnose without being in front of the appliance. Here are some basic checks you can do. First, check if the compressor is running. If it is, you should see changes in temperatures on the evaporator and condensing side of the heat exchanger. Frost should appear on the pipes if the gas level is correct since this is a basic refrigeration unit.

If there's no frost, it might mean the gas isn't circulating properly, or it has escaped from the system, which is a common issue. Heat pump tumble dryers often have problems after three to five years. Even a tiny hole or bad joint can let gas escape. Transportation can also cause solder joints to fracture, leading to gas leaks.

If gas has leaked, the unit would need regassing. However, I wouldn't recommend this without finding the actual leak first. If there's corrosion on the evaporator side, you'd need to replace the whole coil system. Repairing leaks usually only lasts a short time.

Please examine the exploded diagram carefully. The part I'm referring to is 0536. Inspect these coils thoroughly to ensure they reach the correct temperatures. This is usually where leaks occur on the machine. Thank you
