The product, in the report: Bosch Nexxt Series Electric Dryer
My Bosch dryer just caught on fire and it was not in the vent it was in the back of the drum inside the dryer. It looks as if debris built up behind the drum liner. A warning should be posted. If I was not sitting a few feet away and just happen to hear a strange beep come from the dryer, it could have caught the house on fire.

The product, in the report: Bosch front loading clothes dryer. think it was Electric dryer.(had a big 3 pin plug ).white color. I paid around $3200-$3500 (not sure o exact price). both the matching bosch clothes washer with it.
My Bosch 700 Series Dryer blew up from the inside. The fire dept said it blew up from the inside the dryer..it was a front venting dryer, where the heat goes back into the dryer. It would only take 30 min for a heavy load vs. the standard 1.5 hrs for the traditional venting ones. The heat got so high inside the machine it blew up. The additional safety valve did not stop the engine. The inside steel drum just melted.
HOA inspectors at the scene said it was not from the wall outlets or electrical from the wall.
The auto sprinklers put out the fire thankfully, but deposited huge amounts of water into the condo. This flooded my condo and the condo below it. My condo has both fire and water damage. The condo below has water damage.
All my personal belongings as furniture, clothes, bedding/linen/towels, electronics, and the washer and dryer were lost. The person below had damage to personal belongings as furniture, clothing and electronics. Do I deal with Bosch directly to get money settlement for my personal belongings,loss of wages, emotional distress, loss of use etc. Insurance will not pay for my personal belongings and hotel. restoring cond will take at least 1-2 months. Or Do I get an attorney? i cannot afford one. Can they take this case pro bono and not charge me attorney fees? Please help , I lost everything, have no where to live during this time.

The product, in the report: electric Front Loading Home Dryer
My Bosch electric dryer caught on fire in the house. The fire was not in any of the normal places that dryer fires might be expected and it was because of a design flaw. The back of the drum has holes in it and little bits of debris collected there over the two years I had the dryer. On the morning of March 30, 2012, it caught fire and began putting out black smoke. My housemate and I got a hand truck and removed the dryer from the house after disconnecting it from the vent. etc. I will never put that dryer back in my house because it is a definite fire hazard. I used to like the Bosch brand, but I am no longer a fan of their appliances.
