# Bosch dryers

### Ventless changes what “slow” means

A vented dryer pushes hot wet air out of the building. A condensation dryer cools that air, drops the water out of it, sends it to the drain or a tank, and reheats what is left. The trade is a cycle that runs longer by design and an appliance that can be installed where no duct exists. So the first question on a slow dryer is not “is the element dead” but “is anything blocking the air path” — which on these machines means the lint filter, the secondary filter and, on the models that have one, the condenser unit.

### What we find

- Filters that have been rinsed but not scrubbed, so the mesh is sealed with a film rather than covered in lint
- A condensate drain hose kinked behind a stacked pair, or a tank nobody knew was there
- Heating circuit and sensor failures, which show as a code and need a technician
- Electronics codes after a power cut — common here in storm season

### Stacked pairs

Most of these are bolted to the washer below them with a stacking kit, in a closet with the door frame two inches narrower than the machine. Unstacking safely is part of the appointment and it is why we ask about the installation first. A photograph of the closet with the door open tells us more than a paragraph.
