Bosch WTB86200UC Heat Exchanger Full of Water: Safe Drain and Drying Checks
The Bosch WTB86200UC is a compact condensation dryer, not a conventional vented dryer. Water at the heat exchanger is not automatically proof that a pump has failed: Bosch's exact manual says residual water may escape when the exchanger is accessed for cleaning.

Hotpoint RD1076JDUKN Washer-Dryer Takes in Water During Drying
A brief, intermittent water movement can be part of how a condenser washer-dryer manages moisture, so do not identify a failed inlet valve from a water sound alone. A pool of white or cloudy water in the drum, a stream that continues, or clothing that is hot but wetter after drying is a different result: stop repeating the dry cycle and first separate a drain-path or hose-routing problem from an uncontrolled water-admission problem.

LG DLE6100W Flow Sense Blinking After Installation: Check the New Exhaust Run
LG identifies the DLE6100W as an electric Sensor Dry dryer with a FlowSense duct-clogging indicator. If Flow Sense is blinking and a newly installed dryer leaves clothes damp, treat the indication as an airflow warning first, not as proof that a dryer part has failed.

LG WM3488HW Takes Too Long to Dry: Check the Ventless Combo Path
The LG WM3488HW is a compact all-in-one washer dryer with ventless condensing drying, so it does not use the exhaust-duct checks for a conventional vented dryer. Slow or incomplete drying is more often a load that exceeds the dry limit, thick items, insufficient preceding spin, closed water supply, or a drain hose that traps water; LG says combo units use a small amount of water during drying and expel hot humid air through the drain hose.
