Maybe the float switch is stuck?
Siemens equals embarrasment

Checked it and can't feel any blockage. I can still move it by hand so I doubt this.
Times go fast...
So, I did not dismantel the dryer but I removed the litle plastic cover under the condensor, checked the float, and it moved freely. Filled the sump with water, let it get pumped up,still same fault.
So, wonders of the internet, we already ordered a replacement.
A Bauknecht heatpump dryer as it was well priced and efficent and my mum trust in Bauknecht. Again purchased at OTTO and by some messing with cupons we got it for 589€ including delivery and setup. It is out of the new UltimateCare line, 7kg, A++ and with transparent door. Got the cycle setup with the seperate eCotton label cycle and the Reverse+ option as well as the XL- and WoolPro-cycles.
Lets see what this will get us into.

Definately let us know how you like it! Is it the TK Ecostar 72?
I was torn between Bauknecht and Siemens as well but ultimately went for my Siemens because of the so-so reviews on Bauknecht/Whirlpool from amazon.de, .co.uk and .fr.

The water issue you have Henene is what we have had twice with the Siemens heat pump we have, it was all caused by a fluff blockage which to me seems like a design flaw with the dryer as it pumps water back into the tank with lots of lint in it.

Actually, yeah, it is! I am not sure, but does Bauknecht still use its multiple way of sensing?
I mean, I think, I can remember to have heared that they have the bar sensors like Siemens plus a sensor that measures air humidity located between filter and heat exchanger. And on top I think they use the temperature difference between drum entry and exit for better calculation as well. At least I think they were used to work like this.

According to their YT video, there is also a humidity sensor on top of the sensors the Siemens had.

Aren't Bauknecht just rebadged Whirlpool these days? Are they made to a higher standard?

Actually, they are pretty much the same. But our washer impressed us for that price and so we thought why not go with Bauknecht for drying as well.
I tried a bit more on the Siemens but actually nothing helps. But while that I found the production date which is the 14th of december 2011. It was baught in April 2012 and has had 2 service calls so far. It ran round about 20 loads a month, so about 600 cycles including some additional cycles. Overall, I can only say that this dryer had not fullfilled our demands.

Yes, it's the same brand. Bauknecht appliances tend to have the better features on our market, though. Example: Whirlpool-branded dryers, at least some, have galvanized drums, while Bauknecht dryers have stainless ones.
