Bosch / Balay dryer with error code E60: causes and step-by-step solutions

The E60 error code on Bosch and Balay dryers usually indicates a problem related to the heating system or internal ventilation. Although it may seem frightening, the solution is often simpler than it seems. In this guide, we explain how to diagnose the problem and which parts you can replace yourself with genuine spare parts to save time and money.

1. What does error code E60 mean?

In Bosch and Balay dryer models, the E60 is usually related to:

• Heating element defective or disconnected.
• NTC temperature sensor damaged or dirty.
• Blockage of airflow due to clogged filters or ducts.
• In less frequent cases, failure of the electronic board .

2. Step-by-step diagnosis

🔹 Step 1: Check and clean filters and condenser

Poor airflow causes overheating and triggers code E60.

Solution: Clean the lint filter and condenser. Replace them if they are damaged.

🔹 Step 2: Check the NTC temperature sensor

If the NTC fails, the dryer does not regulate the temperature properly and stops.

Solution: Locate the sensor (next to the air duct or resistor) and measure its resistance with a multimeter. If it's out of range, replace it with an original Bosch or Balay NTC sensor .

🔹 Step 3: Check the heating element

In condensing models, the heating element is responsible for generating hot air. If it's burned out or has loose connections, E60 appears.

Solution: Replace the Bosch/Balay dryer heating element if it does not provide continuity.

🔹 Step 4: Check the electronic board

If the error persists after the above checks, it could be an electronics fault.

Solution: Consider replacing the board or consult Electrotodo customer service .

3. Preventive maintenance to avoid E60

• Clean the filters after each use.
• Disassemble and clean the condenser once a month.
• Do not overload the drum.
• Use drying programs appropriate for the type of clothing.
