Frequently Asked Questions about Bosch WTB86238EE Dryer
Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.
Why is de drum of my dryer larger than that of my washing machine, even though they have the same capacity? Verified
To properly dry laundry, a dryer needs to have air. This needs space and that's why the drum needs to be larger.
This was helpful (3004) Read moreWhat is the difference between a condenser dryer and a vented dryer? Verified
In a condenser dryer the condensed water vapour is drained and collected in an internal reservoir. In a vented dryer the hot, moist air is drained through a hose, for example out of a window. A vented dryer is cheaper to use than a condenser dryer
This was helpful (869) Read moreCan I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified
In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.
This was helpful (700) Read moreCan I connect a dryer to an extension cord? Verified
Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dryer, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dryer is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.
This was helpful (545) Read moreWhat is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified
The biggest advantage of a washer-dryer is that it takes less space. However, a separate dryer will be able to dry more than a washer-dryer. A washer-dryer also uses relatively more energy and requires more time.
