Review of 2006 Siemens S46-59 7kg Condenser Tumble dryer

[@Loreality]

Low Temp will deactivate one half of the heating element. Low Temp (2x) will reduce the temp another 10°C by cycling the smaller heater, I think. The dryer will automatically go into a lower temp once it reaches iron dry. Less ironing will cause the drum to stop and restart more frequently. This is how the settings worked on mine (an identical model). I upgraded the filter to the one with two layers and added some weatherstripping - after that, I only had to rinse the condenser about twice a year. I also had the drain hose installed, thus I removed the water tank during drying, which increased the cooling air flow. This led to faster and less hot drying. A resistor on the control board blew after about 7 years. The replacement was 10€ + 5€ for the soldering job. Eventually, a small leak developed where two plastic parts meet in front of the condenser. I was able to fix it with packaging tape 😅 but decided to sell the dryer. My heat pump Bosch uses a lot less electricity - but I feel the Siemens condenser was superior in every other way.

Low heat still gets incredibly hot I found.

@@whichwasher2007 I have some service documentation for these dryers, but it doesn't mention any temperature targets. I suppose Low Temp is still ~60°C.

I have the 2005 model of this dryer and its not that bad. It has the small display, a glass door, its 7kg and a difftent filter than this one. The only thing that bugs is that it doesn't reverse and fluff builds up inside the body

i really like this dryers! them works so smooth and quiet and works very fast

[@user-rd8ui9dk1y]

the advantage of washer dryers is that they can wash and dry the laundry in a single cycle without having to put the laundry in a dryer but the big downside is that you have to put the price

[@user-rd8ui9dk1y]

This is the first time I see this Siemens dryer in review and demonstration I have never seen it before in your videos

[@Ikey04-ge9gy]

I had no idea this range of Siemens/bosch was available in 2006??

[@user-rd8ui9dk1y]

This dryer reminds me of a Bosch dryer which is in the AAGA pro teaching room of my high school which is in any case identical

[@softielott]

first logixx'x, at that time there's no 6kg rated with big screen in bosch but siemens, which i find really interesting

[@user-rd8ui9dk1y]

This dryer must be equipped with a brushed motor in both cases

[@user-rd8ui9dk1y]

this dryer is 18 years old so this dryer was released in 2006 and I was born in 2007

[@marcse7en]

Blimey! ... I've got socks older than you! 🤣

[@user-rd8ui9dk1y]

It appears to me that this dryer has either a brushed motor or a digitally controlled brushless inverter motor in both cases

[@callumdalgleish5376]

i used the one with the small screen version i think it was the e 46-38 the low heat button and reduced ironing

[@RGoodall3]

dose this Siemens S46-59 auto reverse

[@user-rd8ui9dk1y]

Like a Bosch 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@marcse7en]

You're the 17 year old, aren't you? Like a Siemens! 🤣

[@samuelfellows6923]

The filter looks like it was partly blocked ~ to how the lint had deposited on it

[@whichwasher2007]

Yes it is partly blocked. It needs all the blocked holes cleaning. Steam cleaning can work. Jet washing deffinatly works.

[@marcse7en]

whichwasher2007 always gets me hot 🔥 and in a spin! 🤣 ❤️

Bit weird
