What Makes Bosch Washer Repairs Different
The drain pump sits behind a service flap: water is drained off through a small hose first, then the pump cover is unscrewed and the pump impeller is checked to make sure it turns freely. Source: Bosch - Why Won't My Bosch Washing Machine Drain? How to Resolve
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
What Bosch Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
Reading a Bosch Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| E17 / F17 / F29 | Inlet filters are clogged or water pressure is too low. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes |
| E:00 / -18 | Drain pump is blocked; clear the drain hose or pipe and clean the pump. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes |
| E16 / E34 / F16 / F34 | Door is not fully latched; close it until it clicks and check that nothing is caught in it. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes |
