I will try and help with this problem about Bosch WTA74200GB Vented Tumble Dryer,

Hi, sorry to hear about the problem with your Bosch vented tumble dryer, model number WTA 74200GB. This isn't the full model number, and there are multiple variations of this machine, so I can't be specific with the error codes.

It would be helpful if you describe the problem with the machine rather than just asking for all the error codes. The errors can vary depending on the full model number.

A common problem that I know exists with these machines is the moisture sensor inside the drum can build up with a film and therefore not detect the moisture in the machine. If the machine works on a manual time sequence but does not work on the sensor programs, this may be the fault.

I've included exploded diagrams of the machine below and added some videos that might help. However, I need more detailed information from you.

Common problems with this tumble dryer include cut-out thermostats overloading due to poor maintenance and fluff build-up in the ducting. The heater system can sometimes be faulty, and the air distribution blade attached to the motor can cause inadequate airflow, affecting drying capabilities.

Without a detailed description of your problem, it's hard to provide specific error codes and information. Please come back with more information and a detailed description of the fault.

There are 5 similar models with your Bosch WTA74200GB Vented Tumble Dryer please use your full model number which is written on your identification plate.

All the best,
Paul

There are many other codes that can occur but without having the full model number and a detailed information of the type of fault you have it is very hard for me to answer correctly here are just some of the error codes: E01 · E02 · E03 · E06 · E08 · E09 · E24 ...
