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 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
Common Bosch Washer Problems
- Door won't lock / won't start. Bosch says to push the door shut until it clicks, clear any laundry caught between the door and the cabinet, and restart the cycle. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes
