How Bosch Washers Are Built
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
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
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
- 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
