I'm working on a Bosch Axis dryer that won't heat. I've changed the heater element (including overtemp thermal) and the control board which drives the heater. Gets warm but not hot. I don't have documentation for the dryer. There are 2 temp sensors in dryer but not sure where they are. There are 2 sliding probes that contact the drum. Are these the sensors? I looked up parts at Appliance Parts Pros, and they list a temp thermostat, but I don't know where this is either. Anyone familiar with this model who can lend a hand?

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

Did you clean the heat exchanger (condenser)? It should be cleaned 3-4 times a year.

Hi Gene. Thanks for your reply. No, I haven't cleaned the condenser. Would a dirty condenser prevent the heater from coming on? Also, there is a temp regulator, I believe, mounted somewhere near the dryer door. Would a defective one also prevent the heater from coming on? I see that this sensor plugs directly into X11-2 connector on power module.

Regards,
Paul

Paul,

Lets do one thing at a time. Clean the condenser first and post the result.
