Bosch dryers including the WT48Y780AU, the WTW86200AU, the WTW87565AU and WTW87566AU, the WTY88700AU and the WQG24200AU use this genuine double fluff filter, part 656033. The full Bosch number is 00656033. It is the two-part lint filter that catches fluff from the clothes as warm air leaves the drum. A torn or broken filter should be swapped promptly to protect the dryer.

Bosch dryer taking longer to dry or showing a filter warning?

Every load sheds fibres, and the fluff filter stops them reaching the parts further along the air path. This double filter has two parts that fit together for extra catch. If the mesh tears, the frame cracks or the hinge breaks, lint gets past and clogs the parts behind, which leads to long drying times, a hot or musty smell, and clean filter or service warnings. A filter that doesn't close properly can also let lint escape around the edges. Cleaning it after every load and replacing it when damaged keeps the dryer running efficiently.

Fitting and caring for the filter

Switch the dryer off and open the door. Lift the old filter out of its slot, usually just inside the door opening, and clear any fluff that has gathered in the slot below. Slide the new filter in until it sits flush, with both parts closed together. Clean it after every load by opening it and wiping the fluff off, and rinse it under the tap now and then, letting it dry before refitting.

Questions about this part

How do I know if my filter needs replacing?

Replace it if the mesh is torn or stretched, the frame is cracked or warped, or the two halves no longer close together. A damaged filter lets fluff past into the dryer, where it is much harder to clean out.
