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.
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 🤘🏽
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!
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.
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
Thank you for your comment, and I think very well done for you to have completed the task regardless of that video, as it often does it's not always all the same. Very pleased to hear that, thank you!
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 so much... I have been fiddling about with door latches for weeks and your sump cleaning video has saved me from buying a new tumble dryer our of frustration !! Much obliged
Brilliant!!! Thanks for solving our issue, saved us a fortune! I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but I cleaned the sensors inside the machine, just under the door lip, with white vinegar. It supposedly removes limescale build up, one word of caution don't use rubbing alcohol for this, use only household white vinegar. Thanks again Ken, you sir are a genius. 👏
That sensor must be for checking humidity inside the driver. If there are too much humidity inside the drum and the machine stops, which happens to mine, especially at the beginning of drying cycle. Normally only once of a drying cycle I have to let humidity out, then ok. I try your method for cleaning it. Thanks for your time to have commented. Nice year!
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!
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!
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
Thank you for your comment. I got some reply from newer product owner, which sounds like more complicated with additional sensors. We just want simple one that doesn't stop.
Also annoys me that the whole thing is full of water when i pull out the heat exchange. It goes all over the floor every time and under the unit. Have to put a towel down each time. Annoying design
Thanks Ken. This sorted out my problem. I have had this problem for a long time and could not solve it (slightly different model but it works exactly the same). Your video was the solution and it works fine now. I used the short-cut method of cleaning it from the heat exchange duct at the bottom left. There was quite a lot of fluff and water in there. After I cleaned it out, it is working fine. I would suggest that anyone trying it should first try to do it through the short-cut method instead of disassembling everything. I think that in 90%+ of the cases that should do the trick. Thanks again from South Africa
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.
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
This worked! I'm the least handy person imaginable, but I used the front-access method to get in and clean the pump area, and problem solved. THANK YOU!
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 😊
Take off the clip plate and clean out the sump, then pour clean water into the sump and splash it around the level sensor. Run the dryer to drain this water out and repeat two more times. I predict you won't need to do this again for a year, at least.
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!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I managed to clear my sump from the front without the big stripdown by using a wet and dry vacuum cleaner and suckibg it all out. Was pretty disgusting in there. Thanks again.
Fantastic, concise, video showing how to resolve this, thank you. I have a Bosch 300 series that began giving me the drain error after 10 minutes or so. With this video I was able to open up my dryer, vaccume out all the sludge in the bottom and button it back up in under an hour. One thing I’d recommend if you really get down with a flashlight and look inside, past the sump on the back side of the dryer there was considerable sludge built up there as well. I vacuumed all that up and wiped it down as well, good as new
Thank you for the comment and the area I might have missed. Mine still stops when putting a lots of stuff. Maybe connected to some the other area condition. Thank you.
Oh no, I'm thinking of buying a model similar to this. It has a sump pump fit as well but they don't include a cover for this model, so it's an open pit that we don't have to open the lid in order to clean. I'm still reluctant on getting it but after watching your video I think I can manage the maintenance now. Please keep us updated any other issues. Thank you!
@@kensuzuki9319 took it out and the cover was warped, was some crud in there, have it a clean out, seems to be running smoother than it was! Thanks Ken, have only done one load so far but it's looking like an extra place to clean in the future
Fantastic! I had this problem, which isn’t mentioned in the manual, and it was easy to reach and clean without removing the side panel. Thank you so much.
SLUDGE! That was awesome, fun and super easy. I didn't need to take the side off the entire dryer.. just take out flap remove the built up felty fibre SLUDGE intially, then soak up all the water and left over SLUDGE with half a pack of paper towels! Sure beats getting a repair man in, thank you for a great video and for saving me time and money.
You are welcome, Thank you for finding this video and watched. Yes this could be mentioned in the manufacturer s manual as it is very easy to do. Thank you 😄
I've got a different type of Bosch but removing the plastic cover near the heatconverter gave me enough room to get all the gunk out. You saved me half a day of work.
Thank you so much for your video Ken. We've been having the same problem for the last 2 weeks. I opened and cleaned the sump which I wasn't even aware was there. It was full of lint. After I cleaned it the machine works perfectly. It's such a relief.
it worked, thank you. front access was enough. the back wall on the inside was also caked with lint, which i cleaned off. some years ago the drum was making noise, it had a wire from a bra made it's way behind the grate at back of drum. it's a good dryer that i use as main way of getting all washing dried. my good towels are nice and soft with dryer, and horribly rough when dried naturally.
Thanks my friend! We had the same issue for quite some time now. We were cleaning the heat exchanger but were not aware of the sump. I cleaned it from the inside without opening the side cover. A bit difficult to reach but still worked like a charm!
excellent video for my bosch classixx 7. I used the front access method and solved this problem in a few minutes. Seeing the side panel removal and having a clear understanding of the root cause was essential for me to successfully clean the area. Thank you. very helpful.
Hey what did you use to get into the sump from the front and clean it out? I'm hoping to do this myself but it looks like an awkward angle / tight space!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Very helpful video and straight to the point. Accessing the side of the dryer would have been a huge hassle so loved the option of being able to go in through the front.
I liked the video and think I can add....to solve the humidity problem I took one of the sensor legs on the pump and shaved about 1/2 inch off with a Dremel. Now the dryer works amazing! Had already cleaned the dryer and tried everything else. I think they made the sensor legs to long so they think the reservoir is getting full. It does run a little fuller than before. But it drys clothes GREAT!
Thank you for the great video, after months facing the same issue having to switch off and on again with much frustration with my Bosch dryer. After seeing your step to step DIY, I decided to follow the first step by just removing the inner flap cover and cleaned out all the lint inside water catchment and guess what Thank You no need to return to the dryer to switch off and on again. Await your next sensor cleaning DIY.
Thanks for the video. I cleaned out the sump from the opening by the condenser and the pump still didn't work well. I saw another video suggesting that the pump could be removed that same way, but it looked pretty fiddley. Your video convinced me it wouldn't be that hard to take off the panels to get to the pump, and it wasn't.
Thanks for the video! It saved me a lot of time. This was happening to me as well with my Bosch ductless dryer which was turning off with the clothes still wet. While cleaning the dryer I found an additional sensor underneath the lint on the left side as you look down into the filter housing cavity. The sensor was completely covered in lint. Once I cleaned this sensor the dryer was restored to its normal operation.
I wonder that sensor is as well as a humidity sensor that is located inside a drum. Anyway good thing you sorted your dryer. Thank you for the comment.
Excellent Work. Your Video was exactly what I needed. Tried everything and was about to book it in for repairs. Opened it up, cleaned out the sump and it worked perfectly again. 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!
Excellent video that pinpointed to problem with my Bosch, and the easiest was was with the arm stretch through from the front so I fixed mine in about 2 minutes. Thank you.
Thank you Ken I watched your video and sorted the problem out using your method one, the drier functions perfectly now, " Happy Wife, Happy Life" thanks again.
I once had my side panel off due to it flagging condenser, and starting a cycle but you've helped me to solve the problem at 1am when kids school uniform needed drying and I was at my wits end cause had been trying to fix it all day 👌🏻
Thank you so much that you made this video. Very clear instructions and straight forward. Cleaned it properly by opening the side panel and now it's working again properly.
Thanks for the video. Our Siemens dryer is exactly the same as the dryer in the video. By using the video I was able to fix our dryer and it's now as good as new.
Hi Ken, great tip, i got this dryer and it had the 5min fault, id have checked the normal places but using google your video popped up, a lot of effort to get to the pump, compared to an indesit, anyway good instructions and it was the fluff on the sensor, dryer now working fine
Thanks instructions for where all the screws is was very clear. Was able to dismantle the side clean and put it all back together in under 20 min. Was not sure from the video (maybe I missed that bit) if your screws was also the same as my model where they use torx screws and are 2 sizes T15 and T20. Again thanks a million, this can save and has saved probably thousands of people having to pay for a easy repair/clean
Thank you Thank you Thank you! Your clearly explained and detailed video is perfect. Took the side panel off as recommended, removed pump etc and boy, what a mess, fluffy sludgy water. All cleared, cleaned and up to speed. Cheers bud. 👌🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video , i think you saved my dryer ! I really like that is easy to follow . So much dirt and water at the sump ,i was shocked .
Thankyou . Most helpful. My Bosch is self cleaning and has no front access, nor from the side, BUT you can remove a simple plastic panel at the rear and access the pump and the reservoir easily in moments. My pump was siezed and just required oiling.
Ken, just wanted to say thank you greatly for the video. My 300 series dryer had been performing beautifully for years and suddenly started throwing the DR error code out of nowhere. I knew there must have been build up somewhere, but the heat exchanger I cleaned multiple times and same with the vent hose (and repositioning that many many times). I was getting tired of trying to figure out what was wrong. Your video was awesome and definitely clued me into the sump area. WOW was it full of lint and water! Hopefully things are smooth sailing from here on out!
I have had this dryer for fives years and it has been nothing but trouble. So, I will give this link on how to fix it to the person I hand it over to. I've ordered an American dryer, which I hope will be delivered on Friday.
Thanks buddy . Pump now cleared . I took it a step further and also disconnected the pump and cleared the impeller. This video definitely helped alot 👍. Liked and subbed
Thank you for making this!! I'm having this exact issue... It's crazy to me that bosch doesn't have an exploded view of this area of the dryer in the manual. Now to find the courage to take my dryer apart...
Thanks! My Siemens dryer is about 15 years old and has a 'self cleaning condenser', so getting in from the front isn't easy. Will try that side panel access soon. Very annoying how it's designed like that to fail over time.
Fantastic! Fixed it right away. Great video. Maybe my dryer is different but I had Torx 20 aswell as 15. Just a heads up, would suck to round of any bolts.
Absolutely fantastic video of what is going on exactly with my dryer. thank you for taking the time to make and post this, saved me many £s on a call out. thank you Sir.

Thank you very much, I just finished cleaning that and now machine works perfectly.
Thank you for easy instructions, and all the best.
😊
Good to hear that your machine has back to ok. Yes I carry on. Thank you for the comment!
Thank you Ken!!! I cleaned out the secret chamber of sludge and My bosch300 is like new!
@@gabiestrong2230 Great news! Thank you for the comment!
Excellent fix..thank you..the entrance from the front worked for me with a small mirror to clean the gunge out of the sump. works a treat now.
Thanks for the comment. Nice to hear good news.
Hi Ken, great tip, i got this dryer and it had the 5min fault, id have checked the normal places but using google your video popped up, a lot of effort to get to the pump, compared to an indesit, anyway good instructions and it was the fluff on the sensor, dryer now working fine
Glad to hear the success story, very well done!
Thank you - just saw your video and tackled my own machine . 6 loads of washing awaiting - so was very worried - but all sorted
@@elizabethray8880 Sounds good! Thank you for watching the video!
Thanks for showing how to remove the side of the machine. Much better way of doing it without risking to damage parts.
Yes, it is easier to clean the sump and also access to the pump to check as well. Thank you for the comment.
Thanks Ken, you saved me. The 1st method is just good enough to me as a non technical specialist.
Yes that should be easy for anybody, isn't it! Good to hear the good news, thank you for the comment.
This is awesome! Fixed our dryer! No more beeeeeeeps!!!!!
Thanks for your comment. Glad the condition has got better!
Thank you so much for this!!! It worked for us, did not even have to open the dryer from the side. All the best!
Thanks for letting me know it worked. I am happy as well.
Ken many thanks for your excellent video & advice. I fixed by drying by using the front door method. 👏👏👏
Sounds good, thank you for the comment!
Thank you Mr Suzuki for your great video explaining how to fix this annoying alarm.
Thanks for your comment, hope your dryer can last.
Cheers Ken I have an older model but with same pump/sump set up and your fix worked a treat,. Appreciated
Thanks for your experience comment, nice one!
Spot on … exactly the same issue as you had … wife not so sure I should do it but your video makes it so much easier. Well done 👍
Good luck and I think you can do. Thank you for the comment!
Excellent video, very well explained. I did everything you did and managed to get my dryer working again! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the comment! Nice to hear good news!
This resolved the same issue with our Bosch serie 4 dryer. Cracking work and thank you Ken!
Thanks for the nicest comment, glad to hear a good news!
Thanks instructions for where all the screws is was very clear. Was able to dismantle the side clean and put it all back together in under 20 min. Was not sure from the video (maybe I missed that bit) if your screws was also the same as my model where they use torx screws and are 2 sizes T15 and T20. Again thanks a million, this can save and has saved probably thousands of people having to pay for a easy repair/clean
Thank you very much for the precise comment. Sorry I don't exactly remember the screw size but I thought mine was only T15.
Thank you Thank you Thank you! Your clearly explained and detailed video is perfect. Took the side panel off as recommended, removed pump etc and boy, what a mess, fluffy sludgy water. All cleared, cleaned and up to speed. Cheers bud. 👌🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the comment. Nice to hear the good news and it worked!
Thank you so much for this video , i think you saved my dryer ! I really like that is easy to follow . So much dirt and water at the sump ,i was shocked .
Great to hear your dryer has come back to good condition!
Thankyou . Most helpful. My Bosch is self cleaning and has no front access, nor from the side, BUT you can remove a simple plastic panel at the rear and access the pump and the reservoir easily in moments. My pump was siezed and just required oiling.
Ohh! That's what manufacturing has to do. They improved it. Good to hear, thanks.
I think that this could be the issue with mine. I will have a look in the morning. Thanks for the advice and instructions.
Thanks Paul for your comment. You are the first person to give me a comment! Hope it works.
Ken, just wanted to say thank you greatly for the video. My 300 series dryer had been performing beautifully for years and suddenly started throwing the DR error code out of nowhere. I knew there must have been build up somewhere, but the heat exchanger I cleaned multiple times and same with the vent hose (and repositioning that many many times). I was getting tired of trying to figure out what was wrong. Your video was awesome and definitely clued me into the sump area. WOW was it full of lint and water! Hopefully things are smooth sailing from here on out!
Great comment, thank you, yes hopefully yours is back what it was!
Good job, and thank you for all your hard work in helping us all. It is greatly appreciated my friend.
Oh, thank you for comment, still going!!
Yeah man thanks. This saved me 150+ € for repairs. Didn't know about the slump buildup behind that cover.
Thanks for the comment. Glad to hear good news!
I have had this dryer for fives years and it has been nothing but trouble. So, I will give this link on how to fix it to the person I hand it over to. I've ordered an American dryer, which I hope will be delivered on Friday.
I see. Interesting. Mine still stops at a beginning of the cycle. Not sure exactly why. Hope your new dryer gives comfortable run.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Sump was full of sludge just like your video. Saved me £££s.
Yes, thank you for the comment, and I'm glad to hear that I saved another!
Amazing explanation video, mine had same issue, just cleaned the sump wow so much lint! Thank you!!
@@troy7027 Thank you very much for the comment and glad to hear the good news!
A big thank you! Great video - second time here from about 1-2 years ago! Forgot how to remove the cover!
Thanks buddy 😊
Nice to know that the video can still help someone. Thank you for inputting your comment!
Thanks buddy . Pump now cleared . I took it a step further and also disconnected the pump and cleared the impeller. This video definitely helped alot 👍. Liked and subbed
Yes, that's I forgot to mention in this video. Thanks for the comment!
Beautiful service care done to your drain pump sump. Video 2 was the Key fix.
@@magikdale Thank you, my dryer is still surviving although not perfect.
We had the same problem. Fixed by using the ‘down/wear’ cycle!! Even though it says 3 hours, you can stop it after 90 mins or so and it’s dry!
Sounds like a happy news, thanks for the comment!
Ah was just about to buy a new one based on some bad advice after mine started doing this too! You just saved me $1000!!
Somebody commented that the new type comes with an access panel for the sump and pump.
This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you very much!
Thank you for the comment. Hope yours has recovered!
@@kensuzuki9319 Hopefully. It's under test run and we'll see.
Got an Exxcel 7 dryer- got the same problem. Will look have a look at the sump. Cheers Ken, clear walk through
Hope it works! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much for this video! You saved me from buying a new dryer.
Good to know it is still the method to recover the tumble dryer. Thank you for the comment!
I have the same annoying problem . Thanks for explaining and demonstrating so well.
Thanks for the comment. Hope it works. Mine still stops although not every five minutes. I have to find why.
This worked great for me! I appreciate all of the details in this video!
Thanks for the comment! Mine doesn't stop every 5 min but still stops one or twice in one cycle. Still trying!
Thank you for making this!! I'm having this exact issue... It's crazy to me that bosch doesn't have an exploded view of this area of the dryer in the manual. Now to find the courage to take my dryer apart...
Or try to do option 1 first whether it can improve. Good luck and thanks for the comment!
Great video!
@@feixar1440 Thank you for the compliment!
Very informative video thank you. Mine is erratic & just started to do that. It’s running again will try your easy fix first. Thumbs up 👍
Thanks for the comment, hope it makes it better.
@@kensuzuki9319 Perfect, also found the door latch loose which confused the issue so tightened that too. We are good to go Houston!
Thank you for you taking time to do this video, it was massive help, and saved my household £200 to get someone to clean it out for me 👍🏾
That's a lot of saving, glad it helped!
Thanks! My Siemens dryer is about 15 years old and has a 'self cleaning condenser', so getting in from the front isn't easy. Will try that side panel access soon. Very annoying how it's designed like that to fail over time.
Yours lasting very long and very good. Self cleaning condenser sounds sophisticated. Good luck of your access to the sump and clean!
Fantastic! Fixed it right away. Great video. Maybe my dryer is different but I had Torx 20 aswell as 15. Just a heads up, would suck to round of any bolts.
Thanks for the comments, I guess all the tumble dryers' structure concepts are similar. This video can still work.
Absolutely fantastic video of what is going on exactly with my dryer. thank you for taking the time to make and post this, saved me many £s on a call out. thank you Sir.
That was a good call at the end of the year, thank u for your comment!
You are a genius, my friend! Thanks for this
Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear it worked!
