Hi Morrison

Unfortunately, if you look at postings regarding Bosch on this Forum you see very little, because it is just not a brand which I (and I think others) are experienced with. I recommend you post on another Forum and see if you can get some help. Be sure to include your model number.

I would certainly try to get some troubleshooting advice,(and a service manual if you can get one) because in many cases with dryers it is not the heating element but thermal fuses/thermostats/thermistors which are the problem, and they cost a lot less than the heating element and are a lot easier to replace. You will want to rule them out before going with the element.

Sorry we could not do better for you, good luck.
