Possible Causes of F06 error:

• Faulty thermistor: 
  • This is the most common cause. The thermistor itself might be damaged, worn out, or have incorrect readings due to internal issues.
• Loose connection: 
  • The wiring connecting the thermistor to the control board might be loose or damaged, disrupting communication and leading to inaccurate readings.
• Faulty control board: 
  • In rare cases, the control board responsible for interpreting the thermistor's signals might be malfunctioning and misinterpreting the readings.

Important Note:

While some users attempt DIY troubleshooting for other error codes, the F06 error can involve electrical components and delicate parts. It's strongly recommended to avoid any DIY attempts and prioritize safety. Incorrect handling could damage the machine, create electrical hazards, or even lead to water leaks.

Recommended Action:

1. Contact Bosch customer service: Inform them of the F06 error code and your model number. They can provide expert advice and schedule a qualified technician visit for safe diagnosis and repair.
2. Do not attempt to reset the machine: While resets help with some errors, it's not recommended for F06 as it might not resolve the issue and could potentially worsen it.

Additional Information:

• Qualified technicians have the tools and expertise to safely diagnose the exact cause of the F06 error, whether it's a faulty thermistor, loose connection, or control board issue.
• Repairs might involve replacing the thermistor, tightening or repairing connections, or even updating the control board software.
• By leaving the repair to professionals, you can ensure the issue is resolved correctly and your washing machine operates safely again.

Remember, safety is paramount. While understanding the basics of the F06 error is helpful, always prioritize contacting Bosch customer service for professional assistance and avoid any DIY attempts.
