A huge thanks for your detailed straight-forward instructions. After reading the dryer manual suggestions , my husband found your video and I was able to clean the sump pump reservoir. Opening the 'trap door' was indeed awkward but using a slightly bent end of a solid measuring spoon was just the right tool, i.e. the screw driver seemed too sharp and damaging to the plastic. I frequently clean the condenser filter but I had never washed the regular lint filter so that was helpful too. Again...our appreciation for your posting of the helpful video!

I don't typically comment on YT videos but this video was so helpful. We bought our house along with the washer and dryer that were there. For two years I was getting the DR error on almost every load. This video showed me how to remedy the problem and we have had months of error free drying. Thanks so much!!

Like other commenters, I didn't want to call a repair service as that involves money going out as well as a wait for service. Your instructions are really clear and spot on and I learned how to fix the problem. This is just absolute awesome! Thanks for saving me the hassle Scott, you are appreciated!

Life saver. In apt bldg. Only started to heavily use dryer during the pandemic. Cleaned out fine filter each time but had no idea about the other two or the water area. Was not drying all the way. So opened it up and found the two filters i have cleaned in the 5 years i lived here, 3 yrs of which i did 4 loads a week. I need the building guys to pull it out so i can get to the sump tube. I bet no one has cleaned this since the building was built ten years ago. Truly a fire hazard. Thank you for such a clear description. Now i need to explore my bosch dishwasher and washing machine which probably also need routine maintenance

Thank you so much for this video! My dryer has been throwing up the DR error for a couple of months and it's gptten so bad that my laundry has become practically at a standstill. I was afraid I would have to call someone, but fortunately I found your excellent video first. It was eaay to follow your instructions. After cleaning out all the sludge, I also blew into the tube as you suggested and could feel a partial blockage clear. Note: Also, I read some of the comments first, and the comment from someone who also has a 300 series like I do mentioned that ypu have to pull the clips towards you, which was good to know.

Same!!! This maintenance step is not in the manual nor online at Bosch. I clean the main lint filter every load and jet-spray the condenser filter regularly. Couldn't figure out, after six years (single user, light use) why the condenser error suddenly appeared and persisted. Was about to call for repair, but decided to Google first and found this video. Thank you Scott!!!!! (And thanks to KZbin, too 😀 I even enjoyed the B&H ad midway).

Thanks for this. My Bosch Classics dryer causes problems every so often with the container light flashing and the dryer stopping (water container is empty). I used clean out the condenser and after many attempts I would persuade the machine to work again fine for another couple of months. This time, could not get it going again. Found this video, finally managed to open the little flap on the floor of the machine and cleared out so much fluff from there. Hey presto, my dryer worked again immediately after carrying out this procedure. Thanks for the video, so very useful. Just a pity that Bosch themselves have no interest in helping their customers!!!!

I've struggled with my 300 series condenser dryer for months. The service replaced the pump, but then it acted up again. I discovered this trap door and found that the sump accumulates lint and slime. I cleaned it out, then poured some Chlorine bleach into the sump. A few days later, the dryer started working like new because the slime dissolved from the sump and from the pump impellers. I appreciate seeing this video because it gives you the clues you need to keep the dryer working.

REALLY appreciate this video sir. Eliminated a service call and learned something in the process!! We have a Bosch 500 condensing dryer, about 1.5 years old. It suddenly started shutting down the cycles prematurely; would beep three times and the "DR" idiot light would go on. Cleaning out about ten tons of goopy yucky lint by hand did the trick. The machine gets the clothes bone dry once again. One thing is, I didn't replace that silly panel above the sump -- it's a real pain to remove so I'm just going to leave it out and easily be able to reach in there and do a bit of cleaning when I have the condensor unit out. Doesn't seem to affect operations one way other the other.

I liked the video and think I can add....to solve the humidity problem I took one of the sensor legs on the pump and shaved about 1/2 inch off with a Dremel. Now the dryer works amazing! Had already cleaned the dryer and tried everything else. I think they made the sensor legs to long so they think the reservoir is getting full. It does run a little fuller then before. But it drys clothes GREAT!

@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I have a 2016 era Bosch Series 800 Condensing Dryer. Love it but there is no mention of the sump and pump in the owner's manual or on their website or YT channel. Started getting the DR fail a couple years in to ownership and finally figured out there's a sump that needs to be maintained. Did the turkey baster bit that first time but haven't needed to since I started cleaning the sump every six months (cleaned it yesterday, will probably do the baster bit next time). FWIW there is what I think is an electronic float in the corner opposite and in front of the pump that can also get fouled and throw a DR code/stop the dryer. Be sure to wipe that down too. Also getting that sump cover open can be a real bear. Once I get it open there's no way I'd leave as much crud in there as shown in this video. Wipe the entire sump well with a sponge and you can get a lot more stuff out of there. When my BIL was in the market for a small condensing dryer for his condo I recommended Bosch but warned him about the sump. He's had good luck with his, but I can only imagine the services calls they get from folks who have no idea there's a sump to maintain.. Good video and hope this helps.

Amazing! The DR code & continuous stoppage was driving us nuts. My wife wanted me to call a repair service and now I don't need to. Thank you! BTW - on the Bosch Series 300, it seems that the clips for the trap door need to be pulled towards the front of the dryer, rather than pushed back. However, it's quite tricky to do this and also open the door. I ended up using a small screwdriver to get under the lip of the door so that I could lever it up.

I had the same finding here and I am a retired surgeon so am used to "operating in small exposure places". I used precisely the same maneuver that you did -- bring two screwdrivers and one small intense, LED flashlight to this operation.

Thank you so much for this comment! I also have a 300 series dryer and the two clips did indeed need to be pulled towards me. I used a slightly different method though: I used the fingers of my right hand to pull back on both clips from above, while simultaneously using my left hand to pull up from the front left corner, where there is a gap on my dryer (the gap is along the entire left side of the sump door). This was fairly easy and didn't require the screwdriver that I made my first attempt with.

I just did the whole cleaning with not really knowing how to get in the side of mine until I saw that there was a bottom screw! Got the panel completely off and was able to do a deep clean under heath. Did the pump with fresh water after everything was said and done putting all together again. ran a cycle. Kicked the pump right on and flowed a lot easily! Thanks a bunch! Was driving me nuts as well. I have the 300 series.

Thanks that worked real well! Note I, used a bicycle pump with a tapered air mattress filling end fitting to pump,air into the drain line and loosen up the lint you can hear it bubbling out in the sump !!! Then used clean water rinse like in your video after cleaning out a large deposit of lint!!

Thank you for sharing the video. My draining light just went off so I learned exactly what to do based on this video. Two things learned 1) Such a bad design. The lid is really hard to remove, if they expect people to clean this area regularly. 2) when I touched the wet lints accumulated in the small reservoir, I thought I touched a dead mouse...yikes!
