My washer has E:13 on the display. I called Bosch

My washer has E:13 on the display. I called Bosch and was told to reset the breaker. I did that, started the washer again, and received the same error code towards the end of the cycle. Now, my clothes are locked in the washer. What do I do now?

According to the service manual, you should clean water drainage pipe and/or drain hose. Turn selector to off and restart 'drain, program or, on 500 plus machines, the 'refresh' program. It also says this is caused by using too much detergent. Bosch recommends using half of what the manufacturer recommends when using HE detergents. They don't recommend regular detergents. I would run the short wash or refresh cycle without detergent and hopefully your lines will clear. I have also read that if this persists, powder HE detergent is better to use instead of the liquid because of certain chemicals contained in the liquids that cause it to congeal in some front loader drainage pipes. I hope this helps.

OP Text edited for clarity and spelling. Moved Category from Computers to Bosch Dryers.

This is how you reset. If that doesn't fix it, you will need a service call. It may need a main board, but they are expensive and should not be just changed on a guess.

Start button doesn't work on King Size Washer

Are there any lights on at the washer? If not check the washer circuit breaker in your house main circuit breaker/service panel. If it is tripped reset it and try start button again. If it trips again you need a service call. If there are lights on try turning the washer main knob to off and unplug the washer from the wall outlet...wait 10 seconds then plug in and try start button again.

My Bosch electric oven displays "Unlocking Door" and none of the buttons work. I've cut the power at the breaker and then turned back on, but it doesn't reset. Do I need to call a...

You haven't said how long you cut power for when you flipped the breaker. These things sometimes have heavy capacitors in them taht will take a time to discharge and allow everything to reset. Before you call a service tech, unplug the unit (or flip the breaker, whatever) and leave the unit disconnected for half an hour. This may just be all you need to do.

Bosch Washer flashing E:

John-I have the same problem. I called service, they told me to unplug it (or turn off the breaker) for 30 mins, then turn back on. That should reset it. However, for me, it didn't do a thing. He said if that didn't work it's time for a service call.
