Bosch Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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 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

What Gets Fixed on a Mount Airy Washer Call
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
