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
- 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
- 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
