Q: Questionwhat does the key lock light mean?

Asked 6 years ago by dav333.

• A:Answer HI dav333. Thank you for your question. The child lock may have been turned on. You can secure the dryer against inadvertent changing of the set functions. To do this, activate the childproof lock after cycle start. To Activate/Deactivate, touch Time dry and Finish in buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. In the display field, you will see the D symbol light indicating the childproof lock is active. NOTICE: The childproof lock will remain activated until the next cycle start even after switching the machine off. You must deactivate the childproof lock before the next cycle and, if necessary, activate it again after starting the cycle.

Q: QuestionHi, I applied for a Best Buy credit card on Wednesday and have the approval. I would like to order the Bosch washing machine with matching (stackable) dryer. I want to make sure I'm ordering the right dryer. Standard American electrical outlet?

Asked 9 years ago by Susan.

• A:Answer Hi Susan, thank you for your question. Yes, the dryer plugs in to a standard American outlet. This unit comes with a 4-prong pigtail but can easily be switched to a 3-prong depending on what style you have in your home. Also, the matching washer is 220v and plugs into the dryer so you will not need to worry so long as you are purchasing as a set.

Q: QuestionWhat is the primary difference between the 300 series and the 800 series beside the price?

Asked 8 years ago by MikeE.

• A:Answer From my reading, the 800 can hold slightly more weight of clothing and towels (and I mean slightly) and the 800 has a light inside. That’s it. I couldn’t find any other differences.

Q: QuestionI cannot take one more day of using my dryer. Can I buy a new dryer [not a Bosch)) and use the washer independently.?

Asked 6 years ago by Taco.

• A:Answer I'm surprised you aren't happy with your Bosch Dryer. I just bought mine a month ago and love it! I suspect something might be wrong with the specific unit you have or with how it was installed. Or perhaps, the filter needs cleaning? Or maybe it's one of the settings? My dryer works beautifully and dries clothes quickly and nicely. The issue you have with switching to a different dryer is if you wish to stack it on top of the Bosch Washer and plug into the Bosch Washer. The stacking kit only works for Bosch washer/dryer and preferably same model. ( But some models are interchangeable for stacking, check with Bosch). You may also need another or different type of power outlet depending on what you buy. (LG, GE, or Whirlpool for example use 110v)
