BOSCH WDU28560GB fan running??
Hi,
We have a Bosch WDU28560GB washer/dryer and I noticed that it wasn't drying very well and what I assume to be the fan constantly runs for hours post drying cycle.
The same thing happens if on a hot wash, there sounds like there is a motor running. But the door opens.
It doesn't happen on a 15/20 min 40 degrees wash.
Any ideas what the issue could be?
I did the usual of checking for blockages in the drainage pipe etc. no issue there.

Bosch WDU28560GB runs on after cycle and dries poorly
- The problem
- Bosch WDU28560GB washer/dryer was reported to dry poorly and to have a fan or motor-like noise running for hours after a drying cycle. A similar motor noise was also heard on hot washes, although the door could still be opened. The issue did not occur on a 15/20 minute 40 degree wash. The drainage pipe was checked and no blockage was found.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply suggested the noise could be the water pump in the base running because a leak has been detected. This was presented as a possibility rather than a confirmed fault. If the noise is definitely the dryer motor, the exact cause was not identified in the discussion.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was documented. The strongest supported diagnosis is that the base pump may be running due to leak detection. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Drainage pipe checked for blockages; none found
- Issue occurs after drying cycle and on hot wash
- Issue does not occur on a 15/20 minute 40 degree wash
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

That could be the water pump in the base. If it runs after cycle finished it can indicate a leak is detected. If it is definitely the dryer motor though I'm not so sure why that would be.
