Bosch WVT1260 steaming
Our Bosch WVT1260 GB01 is steaming out of the soap drawer during the drying cycle. I have checked and cold water is coming into the condenser, and the fan is working.
I did get some soggy fluff debris out of the condenser.
Can anyone help?

Bosch WVT1260 steaming from soap drawer on drying cycle
- The problem
- Bosch WVT1260 GB01 washer-dryer was emitting steam from the soap drawer during the drying cycle.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis is a blockage in the condenser water path, particularly at the bottom of the plastic condensing chamber where condensed water should run into the drum. This would prevent steam condensing and draining away properly.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to check for and clear any blockage at the bottom of the condenser where the water runs into the drum. The discussion also notes that steam should condense when it meets the trickle of water in the condenser chamber, then drain from the bottom of the condensing chamber and be pumped away.
- Checks to try
- Cold water supply into the condenser was checked and reported present
- Drying fan was checked and reported working
- Soggy fluff debris was removed from the condenser
- Check for blockage at the bottom of the condenser where water runs into the drum
1 Answer
Once the steam hits the trickle of water in the condenser chamber it should condense into water and run out of the bottom of the plastic condensing chamber where it gets pumped out down the drain. Check that there isn't a blockage at the bottom of the condenser where the water runs into the drum.
