Repair guidance / Bosch / BR6
The cabinet becomes unusually hot
Stop the dryer if overheating or a scorched smell is suspected. Note the model type and whether the change followed a move or surrounding storage being altered. Never bypass a thermal cut-out or treat repeated resets as a repair.
A different pattern: drying takes several cycles
Record the load size, selected programme and whether clothes leave the washer unusually wet. Longer drying can reflect several conditions, including the condition of user-maintained filters. Follow only the cleaning steps in the manual; do not open sealed housings.
A fitted appliance behind a furniture door
Describe the visible furniture panel, plinth and surrounding cupboards. A built-in appliance needs its access and connection arrangement checked before removal; do not detach cabinetry or pull the appliance forward to make the enquiry.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the cabinet becomes unusually hot”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the cabinet becomes unusually hot”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “drying takes several cycles”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Orpington postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “drying takes several cycles” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a fitted appliance behind a furniture door — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
