Troubleshooting Your Bosch Heat Pump Tumble Dryer's Condensation Collection System

Jun 29, 2017 Last reply: 3 years ago 1 Replies

I have a Bosch heat pump tumble dryer. I followed the instructions to fit the drain hose and plumb it into my under-sink waste pipe. The condensate is going into the waste pipe - but now I've just noticed that the condensation container has some water in it too, which wasn't there before.



Is it normal for the condensation water to be discharged both into a drain pipe and into the container? The book doesn't suggest this could happen.


It is not normal for the condensation water to be discharged both into a drain pipe and into the container. This could indicate a clogged drain hose or a malfunction in the condensation collection system.

Here's what you can do to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Check the drain hose for any blockages and clear them if necessary.
  2. Make sure the drain hose is securely attached to the dryer and the waste pipe.
  3. Verify that the waste pipe is not clogged.
  4. If the issue persists, consult the manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

Tools you will need:

  • Pliers or a wrench

  • A cloth or towel
