How Bosch Washers Are Built
New Bosch washers ship with transit bolts that protect the machine during shipping, and these must be removed before the machine is used. Source: Bosch - Washing machine transport lock
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
Common Bosch Washer Problems
- Washer not filling. Bosch has owners clean the filters at the water connection or AquaStop hose first, then test water pressure by timing the faucet's flow into a bucket. Source: Bosch - Water is not running into the washer
- 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
