How Bosch Washers Are Built
New Bosch washers ship with transit bolts that protect the machine during shipping, and these must be removed before the machine is used. Source: Bosch - Washing machine transport lock
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
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
