Bosch nexxt 500 series dryer
I just had the same problem, motor runs but no heat. I had a fun time figuring out how take the front panel off, hint the rubber seal comes off easily. It looks like mine tripped the resettable over heat sensor. So far so good.
My bosch nexxt wtmc3300 dryer
Hello,
Welcome to FixYa.
There are a couple of scenarios which may prevent the dryer from starting with Bosch, but with the most common there are two thermostat's/switches which could be reset, plus a no reset hi-limit ( on the lint housing )... i.e.
...which cannot be reset, but the hi-limit is the one related to heating...located on the heater housing and the other (emergency shut off/belt switch) is by the motor shown below.
Anyway,
To save time and back and forth dialog, I`ll mention the most likely and what to do about it.
**Unplug the dryer before attempting any repair tips suggested here please...safety first**
There is an auto shut off or emergency kill switch next to the motor I alluded to which will prevent it to start in the event it was tripped for whatever reason. This is the most likely scenario in my opinion based on your post...but again it depends on your model.
This will require you to remove the back panel again though. Once you've remove the rear panel, It will look like this image below and all you need to do is push it to the right ( from the back )...
i.e.
Since you`ve already taken the back of the dryer off before to gain access you should have no problem.
Either Scenario I alluded to will require the removal of that panel so let me know if you require further assistance to do this.
The other would be resetting the hi-limit cut out, You can see through the back vent opening when the vent tube is removed ( cannot be removed without removing rear panel the first time, but if attached a certain way can be done each time after ) and then by pushing the red button in...shown below.
i.e.
Keep me posted how you make out or if anything is not clear or if your model is completely different...some have line fuses at the back.
Thanks for choosing FixYa and good luck.

I cant figure out how to change the light bulb on
You need to go through the top panel with the switches to access the bulb. First remove the screws that hold the top to the dryer. (There are a series of tabs with the screws.) Next, use a flat blade screw driver to push down and pull out the plastic tabs along top of the front panel. Pull the top of the front panel back. Now look for some plastic tubes. Stick a screw driver down into the machine and pry the tubes up at the bottom. Then you can access the light bulb and its socket.
I hope this helps.

Dryer does nor heat.
Bit vauge as a problem.not cleaning out lint filter or condenser regualy will cause element to burn out.or thermisters to go short.normally 2 or 3 of them checking temp in /out / if ur very lucky on rear of machine u may find a button that trips out to push.but only some dryers have this
