What Makes Bosch Washer Repairs Different
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
Models with i-DOS have a separate dosing pump that can clog and trigger its own error code, and Bosch lists cleaning that pump unit as the fix. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes
Bosch Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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

Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.

In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
