What's Happening

Water from the drying process isn't draining properly into the collection tank or drain line. The drain hose may be kinked, the condensate pump may be failing, or lint is blocking the drainage path.

How to Fix It

Check that the drain hose isn't kinked and the collection tank isn't full. Clean the lint filter and condenser heat exchanger as blockages can affect condensation drainage. If the condensate pump isn't working, it may need replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does E:32 mean on a Bosch dryer?
E:32 indicates a condensation drain problem. On condenser/heat pump dryers, moisture extracted from clothes needs to drain into a tank or external drain.
Do I need to empty a tank on my Bosch dryer?
If your dryer uses a collection tank (not plumbed to a drain), it needs to be emptied regularly. A full tank can trigger E:32.
Can lint cause a Bosch dryer E:32 error?
Yes. Lint can clog the condensation drainage path. Regular cleaning of the filter and condenser prevents this.
