How to Troubleshoot a Bosch Nexxt 500 Electric Dryer

Bosch’s Nexxt 500 and Nexxt 500 Plus series of electric flashlights — which comprises versions numbered WTMC3321US, WTMC5330US and WTMC5321US — feature 6.7-cubic-foot drums, LED info displays, delicate drying technology, along with Bosch’s Wrinkleblock tumbling cycle. While they vary in some optional features, like the Mistcare wrinkle-relax cycle or energy saving implements, Bosch recommends some universal troubleshooting steps which apply to any Nexxt 500 experiencing operational errors.

Wash It Up

A little maintenance and cleaning often cures problems. If your dryer stops mid-sequence or displays the error code “E:01,” check the exhaust hose for blockage and clear debris if necessary. Cleaning the lint filter also can ease this issue. Wipe the filter clean by hand or gently scrub it with warm soapy water, then rinse it and then let it air-dry before replacing it. Weak drying power sometimes indicates dirty moisture sensors. Wipe the humidity sensors — the 2 bars with the lint filter — free of buildup using a clean cloth and a dab of white vinegar.

Cool It Down

Overheating can disrupt the functioning sequence, or it might cause insufficient drying electricity, leaving clothes damp. A warning sign as well as the code “E:01” or “E:03” suggest this issue. Sometimes, an overheated Nexxt 500’s “Start/Stop” indicator light goes dark and the LED display reads “000.” To remedy a dryer that runs warm, switch off the unit and let it rest for 30 minutes, then switch the appliance back and restart the app.

Explore Other Issues

If your dryer does not power on and its LED display is dark, inspect your family electrical panel for a blown fuse or tripped breaker. Ensure the Nexxt 500’s front door is completely closed; if the door is ajar, the dryer won’t start. If your exhaust air duct measures over 7 ft in length, then the Nexxt 500 can fight to adequately dry your clothes, or it might malfunction mid-sequence.

Reach Out

If problems persist after you carry out essential troubleshooting procedures, contact Bosch’s customer support department. The “Find a Servicer” page in the company’s official website helps you find a manufacturer-authorized Bosch factory service technician in your area, based on your zip code. Since the Bosch Nexxt 500 series dates back to 2006, the dryer’s warranty can no longer pay for the price of repairs or service.
