The condenser pulls out through a maintenance flap for cleaning. Bosch recommends monthly cleaning under normal drying conditions.
What to check before buying
Condenser and drainage
The condenser can be removed through the maintenance flap. Clean it with warm water and avoid hard or sharp tools. The manual directs owners to check the drain hose for kinks or blockages when the DR indicator appears.
Mechanical and control parts
The /01 parts record names a drum belt, drum bearing, condensate pump and heater assembly. It identifies both programmed and unprogrammed versions of the power and operating modules; those descriptions matter when choosing a control replacement.
