What Makes Bosch Washer Repairs Different
The door must latch fully before a cycle runs, and Bosch reports an unlatched door with codes E16, E34, F16 or F34. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes
Models with i-DOS have a separate dosing pump that can clog and trigger its own error code, and Bosch lists cleaning that pump unit as the fix. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes
What Bosch Says to Check First
- Washer off balance. For an unbalanced-load code, Bosch says to mix large and small items and close the zippers and buttons on duvet and pillow covers. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes
- Door won't lock / won't start. Bosch says to push the door shut until it clicks, clear any laundry caught between the door and the cabinet, and restart the cycle. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes
