What this family is
If your Bosch dryer carries a model number starting WQG, this is the family page for it. The table below is the whole of what the spine says about the platform; the rest of this page is what goes wrong on dryers of this kind and where each fault is answered in detail.
What goes wrong on these models, and where each one is answered
- A new noise: rumble, squeal, thump or rattle — A noise that arrived rather than one that was always there, and that tracks drum rotation. See: Bosch WQG Dryer: Abnormal Noise or Vibration.
- The cycle stops early, pauses, or will not complete — Time that stalls, a cycle that ends with the load still wet, or a machine that stops mid-run. See: Bosch WQG Dryer: Cycle Will Not Run or Complete.
- The drum turns but the load comes out damp or cold — Tumbling with no heat, or a cycle that runs its full length and leaves the load heavy. See: Bosch WQG Dryer: Not Heating.
- Nothing happens when you press start — A panel that lights and then does nothing, or one that will not light at all. See: Bosch WQG Dryer: Will Not Start or No Power.
Problem classes in order on the WQG family
- Heat and the air path — First on the WQG family. Lint restricts gradually, protection cuts the heat, and the owner sees a machine that tumbles and dries nothing. — Owner: Partly - filters and ducting yes, protection no
- Cycles that end early or never end — Second, and usually sensing rather than failure: residue on the sensing contacts reads as a dry load. — Owner: Mostly yes
- Noise from the drum supports — Third. Gradual, load-dependent, and cheap while it is still a rumble rather than a grind. — Owner: Inspection only
