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
What Bosch Says to Check First
- 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 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
