What Makes Bosch Washer Repairs Different
The AquaStop inlet hose contains an electric valve, so it must never be submerged, and its screen filter is cleaned at the faucet end of the hose. Source: Bosch - Water is not running into the washer
What Bosch Says to Check First
- 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
