This Bosch looks like a Kenmore HE2, and may be made by the same manufacturer.

In the Kenmore HE2 manual it states:
"F" Variables [F4 to F16] (Electrical problem)
Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle.
Select DRAIN/SPIN if there is excessive water in the washer.
Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains, call for service.

If it's not working still, try asking advice at RepairClinic.com . They have helped me in the past, and they have parts too.

SOURCE: My washer stops in the middle and flashes F21?

Once I took the back panel off I then realized I had to take the front bottom panel off instead.

SOURCE: f 21 flashes

We have the exact same washing machine, and the same problem. we will need to lift the front of your washer up and undo the bolts to the front cover. you will see a white round turn nob, this is the filter unscrew it (you kight plug your nose) and empty all contents, replace, screw the front plate back on and you are good to go!

SOURCE: wash cycle stops, F21 error message appears

"F21" is a Long Drain error code. This indicates that you have an obstruction in the drainage system. More than likely you probably have a clog in the drain pump. The following link explains:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r1484065-f21_error_code_whirlpool_duet_kenmore

Included is a follow-on link that explains how to check the drain pump to clean. You may also have to remove the inlet hose that runs from the bottom of the wash tub to the inlet side of the drain pump. Debris can commonly clog in this area as well causing the drain cycle to fail.

If you have any questions about this repair, or need additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

NOTE: If these preliminary measures do not correct your problem, you may have to replace the drain pump. It does not take much to damage the pump impeller or motor. Since the error code is generated if the drain cycle exceeds 8 minutes, if the pump is damaged and can't pump at the required volume, the error code will continue to appear until the pump is replaced.

Changed the element in my bosch washing machine and still trips the electric ,can i wash on a cold wash without tripping the electric.

In the washing machine your hot water supply comes from your water heater. The element that is tripping is part of your electrical so no you cannot expect a different result. You will have to fix the problem first before you wash.

I have a Bosch Exxcel 7 1400 express, had F21 error which I cleared but now when set to wash, water comes in but the drum doesn't move.

F21 refers to the carbon brushes in the motor so price new brushes - if you are handy they are easy to fit and not expensive - but if you can't do it yourself i personally wouldn't spend too much on repairing a 5 year old machine

F21 flashing on my bosch classixx 6 1200 express

F21 is a motor fault and in some cases can also involve a module fault. It could be as simple as the brushes need replacing or the drum has been severely out of balance.

F21 showing on screen

Take the bottom panel off of the washer and there should be a instruction guide in the washer that will tell you what the error code indicates.

My washer stops in the middle and flashes F21?

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

An F21 error code indicate drain problem. Might you want to inspect/clean the drain system from the filter to catch basin to impeller, pump/valve and drain hose. To do this, the bottom/kick panel ahs to be removed. A bit of a messy job so pls be prepared with paper towels and other absorbent materials.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
