I have a BOSCH Nexxt 100 Series front load machine. Yesterday tried to do a wash and the following happened: the 4 different time relay buttons all flash, the start/pause button doesn't and the door locked doesn't, little water came out of the hose, and the door will not open. I tried unplugging the machine and trying again but still the same results. I live in a two-family where we each have our own machines. The other people had some much water in their sink that it overflowed into mine and the hose was immersed in water (not sure how long). I noticed this on Thursday and didn't try to do a wash until Sunday. The weekend before did 2 washes without any problem.

According to the manual, you have to:
1. Turn program selector to "off"
2. Turn selector to Drain or Spin
3. Press the start / pause
Wait until program ends.
Open door.
or
Press "start / pause" until the start / pause light flashes.

Hello,
Welcome to FixYa.
Based on your post there may indeed be something stuck, however this can also be the bi-product of the unit not spinning/draining properly.
These are the steps I'd suggest you take to move forward...
**Unplug the washer from the wall or turn off the breaker before attempting any repairs**
Get some towels and if possible a wet/dry vac. If the machine drained, it won't be too bad. If your machine is stuck full of water, that sucks...hopefully you won't get too wet. ( maybe you`re lucky enough to be close to a floor drain )
3. Insert the bit into the hole in the door. It will push in a tab, it doesn't take much force. Rotate the hole (clockwise) to 6'oclock and it should come free. (the edges are very sharp so be careful...I usually cover the edges with electrical or duct tape or wear welders gloves).
4. Once the door is out of the way you'll be greeted by a 3-4" plastic cap with wings so you can unscrew it by hand or with the aid of pliers.
( you should also see a ring with a string attached, if you pull this the door should unlatch, but getting the water out first is usually a good plan )
THIS RELEASES THE DOOR LATCH IF PULLED
There is a small collector lip at the bottom of the cap, that is where you can hold the wet/dry vac to catch the water. Unscrew slowly so you don't get flooded, until it is unscrewed all the way out
5. Now pull out the trap and visually inspect the inside of the pump as well as the filter/trap.
Hopefully you'll find the item/debris that initiated the error here.
.
6. After removing any debris or obstruction`s re-install the button trap/lint filter and plug the washer in to power or reset the breaker and give it a test.
7. Run a load and watch for leaks. Leave the pump access door off until you are sure you screwed the cap in tight and there are no leaks.
Ultimately you may have a faulty drain pump, or door lock but I would certainly start by performing the things I listed first.
Let me know if you require further assistance and if not and this solves your problem, please rate the solution I provided accordingly.
Thank you for coming to "FixYa" and good luck.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)

Hi,
Is it flashing only E or there is a number besides it such as E 03 or E1?
Thanks and Regards
