SOURCE: transit brackets

Hiya .. the transit bolts are located under the lid at either side ..or at the rear... they are fairly long bolts which hold the drum and balance in place.. until installation. they will be sheathed in fairly hefty rubber grommets.

Screws for removal of lid located at the rear..2- or 4.. remove these slide lid front to back.. remove bolts if they are they are present... refit lid... note uneven siting of an appliance can cause excessive vibration as well!

Let me know if this sorts your prob

Regards Faggly

SOURCE: bosch washing machine won't drain and the door won't open.

Sounds like you have a blocked pump.To empty the machine manually lower the drain hose into a bowl or bucket.Once emptied the door should open.On most modern machines there will be a filter behind the kick plate at bottom front of machine, Check this for any foreign objects then try a spin before putting on again.If problem persists come for further options.

SOURCE: I left the transit bolts in our

Highly unlikely any damage will have been done so long as it hasnt been in use for a long time (weeks).

In a front loading washing machine, most of the mechanicals inside are held between springs at the top and dampers at the bottom. The transit bolts are used to minimse how much movement can ocour whilst the machine is in transit as excessive movement could damage the springs/dampers. When they are removed, normal movement of the mechanicals helps keep the machine stable and minmises vibration.

So, the worst that happens when the machine is used with the transit bolts in place is it vibrates alot, and possible moves about.

Remove the bolts as soon as possible and it should be fine.

How to lock drum for moving

all machines come with installed Transit bolts, these are removed before the machine is used, and should be kept in case you need to move the machine later on. The transit bolts lock the drum to prevent movement whilst moving the machine. If you do not have these, I would suggest looking for some. However I have moved a machine without the bolts in and as long as you are reasonably careful there should be no problems.

New Bosch washing machine shakes like crazy. Seems like everyone says it could be shipping bolts. Before I try to get to the back, would the machine work (the inside spin) if the bolts were still in? ...

yes the machine will work fine.......until it comes to the spin. you definatly need to pull the machine out and take out the transit bolts. Read your manual, they will be clearly marked.

Brand new washing machine - have only used once and it moves and jumps around ALOT !!! Is there something I need to remove from the machine before I use it.

If you have not already done so, then you must remove the transit bolts located at the rear of the washer.
There is usually 2 or 4, and they are clearly visible, it should tell you in your user instructions.

I just bought a bosch washing machine maxx 7. While spinning the whole machine moves. Did I install wrongly or must I lock something. I have to hold on to the machine tightly so that it will not move. ...

The problem might be that at the back of the machine the transit bolts are still in to find out how to remove look in manual. The way you described it sounds like the transit bolts are still in and need to be removed. if the bolts are out the machine need to be levelled and feet checked so that it is all secure. hope this helps.

New Bosch Front loader washer Maxx Classic WAE18060AU

Remove the 4 transit bolts from the back of the washing machine. These are supposed to be remove during installation. If they are not removed the machine jumps around like crazy on the spin cycle and the machine is almost unusable.
