What Bosch Says to Check First
- 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 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
