How Bosch Washers Are Built
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 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 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
- 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
