These dryers do use the water in the tank to do most of the flushing. Some fluff will always remain in that water, and it will settle in the tank no matter what. It's not like anything is clogged, and if the condenser is clean, everything is working as intended. | ||

Interesting. This is the water tank of my selfCleaning after three years. I remove the blue filter before emptying and, since the dryer is in the bathroom, I tip the whole thing over and water gushes into the bathtub. Maybe that extra water turbulence helps to keep the tank so clean.
I have, maybe four times over the years, removed my shower head and stuck the hose into the water tank to flush it out at full force - but there's never been really anything in there as far as lint goes.

replying to Logixx that's really interesting. why does mine has fluff and yours doesn't even though my device has more filters? do you not use softener? or is it because my device washes the back condenser too? | ||

I use softener with practically every load - about 30 ml.
I've seen a YouTube video if an appliance retailer, who also has a AutoClean dryer and his water tank also had stuff in there. I will say that I'm very thorough about the filters, vacuuming them as well as both seals after almost every cycle. When drying small loads of shirts (almost no water left after spinning) I'll sometimes fill the tank prior to drying so the flushing cycles can do something (although the shirts don't give off lint). I haven't used this blue cleaning fluid Bosch sell. I don't know what the inside if the heat exchanger looks like, but the fins at the front are spotless. | ||
