How Bosch Washers Are Built
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
Bosch Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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 leaking. Bosch says to find where the water collects first: for a leak at the front, clean the door seal and door; for a leak at the detergent drawer, use less detergent or switch to fresh detergent. Source: Bosch - Why is my Bosch Washing Machine Leaking? How to Troubleshoot

Keeping a Bosch Washer Running
- Run the brand's washer cleaner through the drum, plus a descaler in hard-water areas, about every few months to clear greasy residue and limescale. Source: Bosch - How to Clean Your Washing Machine Inside and Out
- Cut back on detergent for lightly soiled loads, since too much detergent causes over-sudsing and can push water out of the dispenser drawer. Source: Bosch - Why is my Bosch Washing Machine Leaking? How to Troubleshoot

In Maryland, you can check a license with the Maryland Department of Labor occupational license search (Board of Plumbing) or report a problem to the Maryland Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
