I just found this dryer on the net. I`ve never seen that combination before.
Maybe who knows something about that?

It looks to me like they have just shoved a Candy panel on a Siemens/Bosh dryer! Would be interesting to see if it reverse tumbles and what the results are like. Maybe Candy can't afford to make dryers any more (or couldn't back when these were made), so they hand them over to Bosch.

That's adultery... Candy and Bosch have a lot to answer

I've never seen anything like it! Are you sure this picture hasn't been doctored?

I remember this model of Candy dryer would have a blind lid over the porthole, so... perhaps the user wanted to have a see through porthole door and snached one off a Bosch dryer :-P

Somebody was very creative

This is neither piece from Candy or Bosch..
Someone creative took the Bosch dryer, and just put a Candy control panel on it..maybe done some more magic to make it work but that's it :)

You see they don't actually fit, look at the top right of the picture.. the upper panel of machine doesn't fit, it's lifted actually, and seems like Candy's control panel is a little wider than Machine cabinet itself

I am 100% sure that "creature" like this never left neither Candy or Bosch factory :)

@haxisfan

If you look its a Bosch drum, old Bosch side panels (They now have a ripple effect-anti-vibrate) & Bosch condenser units, so I think the user decided they wanted a new candy control panel to put on a Bosch dryer!

Mais oui... you're absolutely right!

I had another look and I came to the conclusion that it looks awful... don't you agree? As nrones said the control panel doesn't fit properly the rest of the machine as it's slightly wider.

I think the Bosch sharp and squarish look clashes big time with the soft and rounded lines of the Candy control panel.

Superavtomat... is there any way for us to know where this picture came from?

Thanks ;-)

If you look closely at the control panel it says candy smart but didn't the smart condensers have the water container at the bottom, so it must be a candy smart washer dispenser drawer front. This is well weird!

2 versions

Candy has 2 versions of where to place condenser for years.. if you look internationally, you would see that the with same model number - one has a draw, and other has it in the bottom ;)

Here, most of the Candy smarts had draw for water, while we can clearly see that water container is in the bottom on e-bay UK

smart condensers

Here in the uk i dont think i have ever come across a candy condenser with the water container at the top. I used to own a CIC60 dryer, it was the best dryer i ever had.
