Bosch Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

Most domestic washing machines are built to a standard size regardless of manufacturer. So if a standard machine was removed this machine should fit. The standard height is 85cm and the width is 60cm. The depth can vary depending on the drum size. A bigger capacity machine will stick out further from under the counter top.

Thanks for that Tim, very useful indeed. Siri did well, but there were two typos which I fixed 'price', to 'prise' and 'stripey' to 'stripy'. These videos may have been helpful for Sensixx and may have been the ones you watched. Thanks again, much appreciated. .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kTFaHDxkG4

It needs descaling. Try CLR in a wash

Add some salt.

Normally this is sign of a clogged water pump or sump? easy fix, No spin, or lite spin try these: bare in mind that many times there is no spin it can be due to a clogged water pump so check it for debris and or broken propeller. Other items to check Using a multi meter check for continuity the door switch, which when bad may not allow agitation or spin. Bare in mind the lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Check the clutch, motor coupler, brake assembly, transmission, and mode shifter or actuator. one way to check for slipping is to get under the machine after a spin cycle ( this is if u get a lil spin but not much leaving clothes still wet) mix in a spray bottle a lil water and some dish detergent, then spray it on the clutch assembly ( the metal round pc. Connected to the tranny) if it sizzles and steams up then u know its bad and slipping. Another way to check clutch if u get no spin at all? Is to take it out and use ur hand to try and turn the inner spring assembly pushing it around the inside? If its very easy, it BAD should be hard to push by hand. Or try the hand test: If no hammering sound has ever been heard out of this machine, one of the unofficial tests we professional appliantologists will do in the field is called the Hand Test. WARNING: This test is not sanctioned by Whirlpool Corporation; it involves bypassing safety equipment and then putting your hand on and near rotating machinery which could result in injury, dismemberment, disfigurement, disembowelment, mangling, hideous screaming, and a ****** *****. Proceed at your own risk! Have a nice day. - put the timer on a spin cycle and open the lid - grab the inner basket with maybe 30% to 40% of your hand strength with your left hand - turn on the machine and bypass the lid switch by depressing the lid switch with a key until the machine begins to spin - if the clutch is engaging properly, the basket should immediately begin to spin and slip through your hand - if it takes very little force to stop the tub from spinning, the clutch needs to be replaced. Next check the motor coupler which engages the tub and tranny to the motor. ( if its bad u usually get no wash or spin or very little of either) Next if belt driven check for a loose, worn or broken belt. And on some models there is no clutch but rather what is called a splutch. And a MODE shifter. These can go bad and effect the spin cycle. On some front load models u may need to check the STATOR assembly. The stator is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often misdiagnosed. Sometimes a no spin machine can be due to a plugged waterpump hose or obstructed water pump propeller. Check these by eye and hand. And in some models check with a meter for continuity and voltage. LID SWITCH TEST- next step is to  HYPERLINK "http://fixitnow.com/wp/2003/08/31/mailbag-opening-a-whirlpool-or-kenmore-direct-drive-washer/" remove the cabinet and jumper the lid switch harness (tan to gray). Put the unit in spin and watch the shiny metal clutch disc that is on top of the transmission where the shaft comes out. If the machine starts and runs in spin, check to see if the disc is spinning. If it is, then the problem is not in the gearcase- look for trouble in the "Motor Coupling for a Whirlpool direct drive washer" \t "_blank" the motor drive coupler or one of its retainers. This washer doesn't have a belt. Instead, the motor is directly coupled to the gearcase by a drive coupler; that's why it's called a direct drive washer. Washer will not drain: The drain water pump is the main part in your washing machine that pumps out the water. If this is defective or has failed in any way, this will be the reason why your washer will not drain the water. Before you order a new drain pump, make sure to check the pump to be sure a small object like clothing or similar has not lodged itself inside of it causing the NO DRAIN issue and even a no spin issue?. If the drain pump is not clogged, you can test it with a multimeter and remove and replace if needed.

If this drain hose is blocked, kinked, bent, or clogged, the washer will NOT be able to remove the water from the tub. Check the drain hose to be sure it allows the water to flow freely. You can take the drain hose off and run water through it in your sink to be sure it is not blocked. If there is water STILL in the washer when you remove the drain hose, grab a bucket as the water will exit from where you disconnected it The water pump belt (to drain out the water) may have broke or become frayed or loose. If this belt breaks then it is unable to drain and remove the water from your washer. Inspect the belt to see if this is causing the NO DRAIN issue and remove and replace if needed. If the lid switch is not working as required it will cause your washer to not drain (and many other problems). This may be unlikely as a bad lid switch will usually cause your washer to also not agitate or spin. However on some models this can vary. The best thing to do if you have a suspected bad lid switch is to test it. It can fail electrically and or mechanically. If mechanical failure is the issue, you should be able to see if it is cracked, broken, or not in place to make contact with the lid. To test it electrically, use a multimeter set on Ohms and test it for continuity My advice is free cuz God is good!

The safety Lock on the bowl hasn't released. You will see it in a tube where the lid lock is. When the lid it locked into place, it pushes a rod down into a hole in the base to operate the safety switch. You may be able to pull it up with needle nose pliers. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+a+food+processor+lid+safety+lock+works That is a funny looking machine, so none of what I wrote may apply! https://www.google.com/search?q=bosch+universal+kitchen+machine

This page of the manual refers https://www.manuals.ca/bosch/kgu6655/manual?p=29 And I found this There are usually 3 or 4 locking tabs on the cover that just need to be pressed INDIVIDUALLY toward the bulb to release them and then carefully remove the cover. The ones with 3 tabs usually have and upper and lower tab then the third tab is on the side. Removed the upper and lower tabs by pressing inward to the bulb and then the cover will pivot out on the 3rd SIDE tab.

If your Bosch dishwasher's soap dispenser is not opening or draining properly, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Clean the Dispenser Area: Start by inspecting the soap dispenser area for any debris, soap residue, or obstructions. Clean the dispenser thoroughly using a damp cloth and remove any buildup that may be preventing it from opening or closing properly.
2. Check for Mechanical Issues: Examine the dispenser latch and mechanism for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure that the latch is engaging properly and that there are no loose or broken parts. If any components are damaged, they may need to be replaced.
3. Test the Dispenser Solenoid: The soap dispenser may be controlled by a solenoid that releases it at the appropriate time during the wash cycle. Check if the solenoid is functioning correctly by performing a continuity test using a multimeter. If the solenoid is defective, it may need to be replaced.
4. Verify Proper Detergent Usage: Ensure that you are using the correct type and amount of dishwasher detergent recommended for your Bosch dishwasher. Using the wrong detergent or excessive amounts can cause issues with dispenser operation. Consult your dishwasher's user manual for specific detergent recommendations.
5. Check the Drainage System: A clogged drainage system can prevent the soap dispenser from draining properly. Inspect the drain hose, drain pump, and any filters for blockages. Clear any debris or obstructions you find, and ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or bent.
6. Reset the Dishwasher: Try resetting your Bosch dishwasher by turning it off at the power source or unplugging it for a few minutes. This can sometimes resolve temporary issues and restore proper operation.

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult the Bosch dishwasher's user manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps or contact Bosch customer support for further assistance. They can provide you with specific guidance tailored to your dishwasher model and help you diagnose and resolve the problem.

Check if there is anything in the large item trap or blocking the water level sensor. The dishwasher won't try to fill if it believes it is full. Try pressing and holding the Start button for 3+ seconds. The Clean LED should light up in a minute. If it does, try the on/off button and starting a new cycle. (This just clears any old programs from the memory.) Some washers will stop if they detected a water leak. Sometimes turning off the power for a while and checking for water in the cabinet below the dishwasher or in the motor area is useful. The more likely items to check: Check the wiring between the inlet valve and the control board. Check the wires for corrosion at the connecting pins and for continuity. Broken conductors don't send a signal to open and close the valve. If those are okay, then the control board itself may be faulty. Since this dishwasher is discontinued by the manufacturer, I don't know if all of the parts are still available. The only parts list for the SHE3ARL2UC/28 that I found is here: https://www.partselect.com/Models/SHE3ARL2UC/ . They don't list any wires or the control board. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

If your Bosch Avantixx6 VarioPerfect washing machine is beeping and the light is cycling through the spin cycles without any other noise or action, it could indicate a potential issue with the machine. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check for error codes: Some Bosch washing machines display error codes on the control panel when a problem occurs. Look for any error codes or error messages that may be displayed. Refer to your washing machine's manual or the manufacturer's website to understand what the specific error code means and how to address it.
2. Check the door/lid: Ensure that the door or lid of the washing machine is securely closed. If the door is not closed properly, the machine may not start or may display an error. Open the door and close it firmly, making sure it latches properly.
3. Check water supply: Ensure that the water supply to the washing machine is turned on and there is an adequate water supply. If the machine doesn't detect sufficient water, it may not start or may display an error. Check the water inlet hoses and the water supply valves to ensure they are properly connected and not blocked or kinked.
4. Power cycle the machine: Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This power cycle may help reset any temporary glitches or errors in the machine.
5. Contact customer support: If the issue persists and you are unable to identify the cause or resolve it on your own, it's recommended to contact Bosch customer support or a qualified appliance repair technician.

Hi,

Some SHX46A washers have 4 cycles and others have 5 cycles.

I'm fairly sure your model has the hidden buttons on the top of the door and you stated you have five-cycle buttons, in which case they will be as follows.

1. Top Rack only cycle or Sanitize
2. Power Scrub Plus
3. Regular Wash
4. Delicate Wash
5. Rinse and Hold.

These buttons are also used for cancelling a wash cycle. Hold down "Power Scrub Plus" and "Delicate" at the same time to cancel a cycle and drain the water out.

If your washer does have 4 buttons, it means you don't have a Top Rack / Sanitize cycle, in which case the button configuration (from left to right) will be:

1. Power Scrub Plus
2. Regular Wash
3. Delicate Wash
4. Rinse and Hold.

I hope this solves your problem. If you need any additional information, please post back.

Regards,
BElectric

Make sure condenser coils are clean they can be readily accessed from behind or under the unit, you should clean them every 6-12 months.

If you have replaced the drain pump in your Bosch WAE24463 washing machine and it still doesn't finish programs and shows the error code F18, you can try a factory reset to see if it resolves the issue. Here's how you can perform a factory reset on your Bosch washing machine:

1. Ensure that the washing machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
2. Press and hold the "Start/Pause" button.
3. While holding the "Start/Pause" button, turn the washing machine's program selector knob to the "Off" position.
4. Continue holding the "Start/Pause" button for about 5 seconds.
5. Release the "Start/Pause" button.
6. Turn the program selector knob to the desired program and then press the "Start/Pause" button to start the reset process.

Please note that performing a factory reset will erase any custom settings or programs you have saved on your washing machine, so you may need to reconfigure them after the reset. If the factory reset doesn't resolve the issue and the F18 error code persists, it's recommended to consult the user manual or contact Bosch customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide specific troubleshooting steps based on the model and error code you are encountering.

To repair a broken wire in the left ice/water door of the Bosch B26FT50SNS fridge, it is possible to disassemble the left door water/ice dispenser. However, it is important to note that this process can be complicated and should only be attempted by someone with experience in appliance repair. To begin, unplug the fridge from the power source and remove any items from the door shelves. Locate the screws that hold the dispenser cover in place and remove them using a screwdriver. Carefully pry off the cover and set it aside. Next, locate the wire that needs to be repaired and determine where it is broken. Cut away any damaged sections of wire and strip the ends of the remaining wires. Twist together the ends of the wire that was cut and use electrical tape or wire nuts to secure them together. Reassemble the dispenser cover by aligning it with the door and pressing it into place. Replace the screws that hold it in place and tighten them securely. Finally, plug the fridge back in and test the ice/water dispenser to ensure that it is working properly. In summary, to repair a broken wire in the left ice/water door of a Bosch B26FT50SNS fridge, you can disassemble the left door water/ice dispenser, locate and repair the broken wire, and reassemble the dispenser cover.

Sometimes the water freezes in the lines. Try raising the temp to just under freezing, not way under.
