I paid around $3200-$3500 (not sure o exact price). both the matching bosch clothes washer with it.). Incident: My Bosch 700 Series Dryer blew up from the inside. The fire dept said it blew up from the inside the dryer..it was a front venting dryer, where the heat goes back into the dryer. It would only take 30 min for a heavy load vs. the standard 1.5 hrs for the traditional venting ones. The heat got so high inside the machine it blew up. The additional safety valve did not stop the engine. The inside steel drum just melted. HOA inspectors at the scene said it was not from the wall outlets or electrical from the wall. The auto sprinklers put out the fire thankfully, but deposited huge amounts of water into the condo. This flooded my condo and the condo below it. My condo has both fire and water damage. The condo below has water damage. All my personal belongings as furniture, clothes, bedding/linen/towels, electronics, and the washer and dryer were lost. The person below had damage to personal belongings as furniture, clothing and electronics. Do I deal with Bosch directly to get money settlement for my personal belongings,loss of wages, emotional distress, loss of use etc. Insurance will not pay for my personal belongings and hotel. restoring cond will take at least 1-2 months. Or Do I get an attorney? i cannot afford one. Can they take this case pro bono and not charge me attorney fees? Please help , I lost everything, have no where to live during this time.
