Know Your Bosch Dryer
How Bosch Dryers Are Built
The compact dryers run on 208/240V on a 15-amp circuit, and an included adapter lets the washer and dryer share one NEMA 14-30R receptacle. Source: Bosch - Wash and Dry #LikeABosch 24" Compact Laundry Brochure
Heat pump models can use an optional condensate tank instead of the drain hose; a drain indicator lights when the tank is full or the hose is kinked or blocked. Source: Bosch - Use and Care Manual, Heat Pump Dryer WTW87NH1UC

Local Notes for Boston
Gas dryers in Boston are typically served by National Grid (Boston Gas Company). If you ever smell gas near the dryer, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside before calling a repair company. Source: National Grid Gas Cities and Towns list (Mass.gov)
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
