Bosch / Tumble dryer / BR6
The cabinet becomes unusually hot
Stop the dryer when the cabinet becomes unusually hot or smells scorched. Keep the account to what was already observed; do not run another cycle to compare temperatures. Mention surrounding storage or a recent move. Never bypass temperature protection, open the housing or rely on repeated cooling and resetting.
Compare this observation: drying takes several cycles
Describe the load, programme and condition of the laundry when it came from the washer. Mention whether the longer drying time is new or gradual. User-cleanable filters should be maintained only as the manual explains. Leave enclosed parts alone; prolonged drying does not identify a heating component by itself.
The fitting is behind a furniture panel.
Describe the panel, plinth and visible surroundings. Leave the appliance fitted; photographs and an access description are enough to begin.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the cabinet becomes unusually hot” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “drying takes several cycles”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: the fitting is behind a furniture panel. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
