F20Warning

Bosch Dryer F20 Error Code

The dryer is taking too long to reach the set temperature, indicating slow heating or airflow issues.

Common causes

  • Partial blockage of exhaust duct
  • Low voltage from power supply
  • Failing heating element

How to fix it

  1. Clean lint filter and check exhaust vent for restrictions.
  2. Check that dryer is on a dedicated circuit with proper voltage (230V).
  3. Run a test cycle with small load to see if temperature rises.
⚠ When to call a pro: If duct is clear and voltage correct, heating element may need replacement.
