There seem to be a lot of generic bits for most machines.

If you want you can send me the model number and I'll have a look.

Thanks - model number is AWZ7913

Well I found a couple of places that seem to sell the heater with thermostat but they both quote about £160!!!!

Maybe time for another machine perhaps

Thanks mymatebob; you could be right. I hate throwing things out just because they're no longer financially viable though!

I know this is an old thread, but any advice is much appreciated!
I have a Bosch Logixx Condenser Dryer model WTL6508GB. Its been diagnosed with a sensor problem, it works for about 30 mins then stops, flashing the 'empty filter' button. My filters are in immaculate condition as i always empty them & wash them out monthly (both of them!). The quote was £130!!, however this machine was top of the range & i have just had it since 2005, using it only 4 months of the year & only if its an emergency.
Your thoughts keep/chuck?, thanks in advance
