What Bosch Says to Check First
- Washer not draining. Bosch starts with the hoses: clean the inlet hose filters, make sure the drain hose isn't kinked or blocked, then unplug the washer and clean the drain pump behind the service flap. Source: Bosch - Why Won't My Bosch Washing Machine Drain? How to Resolve
- 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
