Common Bosch Problems

No Power

• Check the basics: Is the machine plugged in and switched on? Is there a power outage in your area?

Water Woes: Leaks, Fills, and Drains

• F23 Error: Aquastop Leak Protection Activated - This safety feature indicates a leak somewhere in the machine. Turn off the water supply immediately, unplug the machine, and contact Bosch customer service. Don't attempt to fix this yourself.
• E17 Error: Water Supply Issue - Check for kinked or clogged hoses or a clogged inlet filter. Ensure your home's water pressure is adequate. If the issue persists, contact Bosch customer service.
• F25 Error: Drain Pump Fault - The pump responsible for removing water might be clogged with debris or malfunctioning. Unplug the machine and contact Bosch customer service for a diagnosis and repair.

Washing Worries: Cleaning and Cycles

• E25 Error: Turbidity Sensor Problem - This sensor measures water cloudiness to determine cleaning levels. It might be clogged or faulty. Avoid DIY fixes and contact Bosch customer service.
• E19 Error: Heating Time Exceeded - The machine might be struggling to heat the water. This could be due to a faulty heating element, temperature sensor, or control board issue. Contact Bosch customer service for assistance.
• Unevenly Washed Clothes - Ensure your laundry load is evenly distributed within the drum. An unbalanced load can cause the machine to vibrate excessively and impact cleaning performance.

Preventative Care Keeps Your Washer Happy

• Regular cleaning: Clean the detergent dispenser drawer, door seal, and filter regularly to prevent mold, mildew, and buildup that can hinder performance.
• Descaling: Hard water can cause mineral buildup. Use a descaling product designed for washing machines to remove buildup and maintain efficiency.
• Proper use: Don't overload the machine, and follow recommended detergent dosages to avoid excessive suds that can lead to overflow and cleaning problems.

By understanding common Bosch washing machine problems and following these tips, you can keep your laundry companion running smoothly for years to come. Remember, when in doubt, consult your manual or contact Bosch customer service for expert advice. Happy washing!
