BOSCH Tumble Dryer Keeps Stopping - How to Fix

BOSCH Tumble Dryer Maxx8 - the dryer kept stopping soon after switched on, although clothes aren't dried. This video explains how I fixed it by cleaning up sump, located at left back bottom corner, accessing from front cover, and also by removing a side panel.
Step by step detail explanation. Also explained root cause.

Brilliant thank you. I've just cleaned the sump and all is well again. I'm a 71 year old woman so it shows that anybody can follow your brilliant instructions. Thank you.

Thanks mate. I was about to take a sledgehammer to my dryer after trying everything Bosch recommended

Thank you so much for this ultra informative, no crap, straight to the point illustration. This gave me the courage to make it happen! The dryer is back to its usual now. Please don't ever stop what you are set to do! You are making ppl lives easy 🤘🏽

Man you're a hero. A proper RCA and cheap solution, with multiple repair methods. Thank you

Thanks Ken, I cleaned my sump today. It worked like a charm. I had no idea that you need to clean the sump. 😀

Perfect!! Thank you for your excellent video. I assume this was a 'design feature' meant to help the company sell more units since they made it so difficult to get too, instead of just putting in a side access door for cleanout

Brilliant work mate! Gave me the confidence to disassemble my similar Bosch dryer and perform the same repair. Thanks for going to the effort of making this video!

I wish I had watched this before I paid 200 for a service visit and spent a week trying to get it covered on my credit card insurance. Lesson learned. Thanks a million Ken!

Thank you for your help!! I've repaired my dryer after removed those sump. And I don't need to pay so much money to repair! What a simple but useful and repliable way! You save my life, wish you have a great day, have a good night!

Thank you, thank you for the most helpful, thorough and thoughtful fix video I’ve ever seen! As another person said, our drier was headed for the scrap heap until we saw this.

This is actually a helpful video - not like those usual videos which lead you astray.. thanks Ken!

A big THANK YOU, I watched your video as we were having exactly the same problem, & tried the easy fix by taking off the clip plate and cleaning in there. It has worked! If I have the problem again then I will take the side off but I wanted to try the easier way first. Your a legend, thank you for taking the time and posting the video as I didn’t know about the pump under the machine 😊

Thanks Ken!! I was sooo near taking my dryer to the dump, but I hesitated, searched the web for solutions and stumbled on your youtube channel! Excellent! Exactly the same problem with mine. Despite its a slightly different model (had to search for some hidden screws) the solutions was exactly as in this very instructive video. Once again, thanks! //Erik

Fantastic. My dryer has been done this for a year or so and pulling my hair out trying to fathom this out. I didn’t even know the sump existed and it took 5 mins to clean and the dryer back to normal use - thanks Ken! Brilliant.

[rachelle]

Thanks Ken!! I cleaned out the sump from the front of the dryer and it worked!! Clothes are coming out dry, FINALLY!! Thank you so much! This video was extremely beneficial!

[jackokorn]

This is amazing!!! What a great video with superb details. I have this problem just now and will follow your instructions to clean the sump. I've had the dryer for 3 years and never even knew this needed cleaning. Well done bud. Thanks soooo much!!

Brilliant tutorial my friend dryer was going off after 5min, took me about 30 minutes to carry out the sump clean, now back to how it should be thanks

[Iskate]

Dear Mr Suzuki, I can’t thank you enough. Your very clear explanation gave me the confidence to try and get the panel off in the end. So helpful to understand the source of the problem and how to put everything back.
I am one very proud woman today - the dryer works as new now. Thank you

Thanks mate - Saved me £150 for an engineer call out, you're a legend! I managed to get a spongue into Sump trap and got all the water and cr"p out with that so need to remove all the panels!
