Condenser dryer Bosch WTE84106GB Classixx 7 – user manual

View Comments

• Just purchased the wte84106gb tumble dryer.As "a first resort" I read the instructions.They should help the user get the best from their product,a view obviously not shared by Bosch.With just 2 push buttons & one control it should be easy to provide a simple step by step guide for operating the machine.They have failed miserably.
  A simple guide to writing instructions is to make them understandable to even the most non technical minded and not to assume that customers know as much about the product as you do.
  Please Bosch get your finger out and write instructions for your customers,so that they enjoy all the benefits of your product and are not frustrated by the experience or even worse left guessing
  how best to use the dryer

  • I hope that you soon got used to your tumble dryer. I have this machine and it's so simple to use, but, I shan't be buying another. The door handle came off when the guarantee'd expired. This made the interior of the door stick. I couldn't access the drum to get things in or out, and I've been stuck as to how to get things dry when the weather won't permit line drying. When you wash for 4 busy people, this's no joke.

    • Hi, Get a new one off e-spares only cost me 6 quid and so easy to change.

  • wow, I've just come here to find instructions as we seem to have lost outs - first thing I saw was your review, next I saw the instructions offered here as a PDF, wow were you right! I just want to know how to use the darned thing, we've had it for 2 years and it still takes an eternity to dry anything so I guess I'm not using it correctly/effectively/efficiently - well it might just have to put up with the way I use it if these instructions are anything to go by.
    What's wrong with a button that just says "DRY", what does extra dry, cupboard dry etc mean - okay so I can use common sense to answer that one myself, but to be honest I preferred my old one that just said "DRY".

  • I quite agree with comment above. The manual drawings do not even correspond to what exists in my machine. Bits of it seem to open up According to drawing, with no explanation as how to do this, so one doesn’t know if one is breaking it by persisting. Then behind the bit you are instructed to pull out and clean ( whether it opens or not) is a whole other section that can be pulled out and had dirty air vents on the front, but isn’t even mentioned in the manual at all. It has a metal container attached. What is this?
    When you look on the web you find mention of ‘secret flaps’ which are certainly not raised in the manual, but which may be the answer to any ‘clean’ problem.
    There is only one reason for not explaining all this properly....money. Bosch wants us to call out their engineers or better still buy a new machine. It is shameful.
    Re-draw and re-explain properly with clear instructions ALL the options on what you should do when ‘clean’ lights up. You can afford it. And I don’t even care if you can’t. You shouldn’t be selling things without proper manuals.

• We have just taken delivery of one of these Bosch tumble dryers with no instructions at all

  • I hope that you will find the user manual on this site :-)

    • This is my third time trying today to dry som polo shirts and T shirts still damp , I feel like flinging it out !!, what a waste of money and time !!!, sorry I bought .

• Does any one know how to 'switch off' the energy saving mode. My unit will no longer work, the on off light flashes but will not start which the instructions sugeest is due to this feature being turned on!!!!¬

  Help !

  • Did u get an answer to this. It's happened to mine

• The user manual is awful,come on Bosh.Manual is not user friend in any way. Awful muted colours and black, grey and white. The only bit that is readable and clear is in blue headings with black text on predominantly white , why is the rest not like this? Also want to know times of preset programmes. Not happy with this.

• I don't know when the programme has stopped, used to a buzzer/alarm to tell me.
  Should the lights go out?

  • I don't know if it should beep mine doesn't unfortunately. the start button just keeps flashing when it the cycle is finished.

• My tumble dryer keeps beeping when in use and can't find out what those means I've emptied all compartments

• How do you dry on a low heat??

  • What is the purpose of the low heat setting on a Bosch tumble dryer and how do you use it? The instructions supplied with the dryer is in adequate.

  • Hi, sorry I don't mean to sound patronizing but have you tried pressing the button that says low heat? it works on all the available options.

• Just like Marie (14th October, 2016), the door handle broke off after the warranty expired. I am no expert but the opening mechanism appears so flimsy and weak, one could easily come to the conclusion it is designed to break easily. Shame on Bosch which I have come to regard as a reputable company and manufacturer of durable and reliable products.

• Is it too much to ask to know whether drying Cottons or Easy Care is hottest? I don't want to shrink my clothes. Why can't they mark it 'Hot Cycle' and 'Warm Cycle' with a note that Hot Cycle may shrink clothes.

  • Hi, it sounds like you already know a hot cycle may shrink clothes. I don't put my t-shirts in there on a hot cycle because I don't want to shrink them. Sometimes I buy the next size up from my normal size to allow for shrinkage, especially over winter months when I know I'm going to be using the dryer more.

• Glad to see that I'm not the only one who can't understand the instructions for using 'low heat' on this model. Bought it from John Lewis so I'm going to try to get help from them
