    Spares for 15-year-old (at least) Bosch condenser dryer?

    Hi, My Bosch Condenser tumble dryer has packed up and the engineer who had a look at it recommended to ditch it and get a new one, given its age. I can't recall when it was bought, but it was quite state of the art at the time and may be over 15 years old - Bosch WTL 4610 Electronic...
