How to enter service test diagnostic mode in Bosch WTMC dryers


To enter/exit test program for WTMC dryers:

1. Rotate cycle selector knob to Off position.

2. Push and hold Start/Stop and Delicates buttons at the same time, then turn dryer on by rotating cycle selector knob either

direction -- keep holding Start/Stop and Delicates buttons until Start/Stop light flashes rapidly. Dryer is now in the test program.

3. When test program has been entered:

♦ Start/Stop light flashes rapidly.

♦ Select individual parts to test by rotating cycle selector knob.

♦ Once test has been selected, start test by pushing Start/Stop button. Start/Stop light will stay on continually while tests are

running. Push Start/Stop button again to end any test – rotating cycle selector knob stops all tests except Control

Elements test. Tests have finished once Start/Stop light flashes rapidly again.

♦ To exit test program, rotate cycle selector knob to Off position.
