Simple instructions on how to reset an error on a Bosch washing machine

The self-diagnosis system that Bosch washing machines are equipped with helps determine the cause of the malfunction as accurately as possible, without disassembling the household appliance.

The washing machine signals what exactly caused the breakdown with a specific code or blinking indicators.

But even if the malfunction is eliminated, you should always remember that information about it is stored in the washer’s memory, periodically displaying an error code on the display or signaling it with indicator lights.

Information on how to correctly reset an error on a Bosch washing machine will help you quickly resume normal operation of your household appliance.

How to reset the program on a Bosch washing machine?

An individual zeroing algorithm has been developed for each Bosch washing machine model.

Classixx

In order to reset the program in the Bosch Classic washing machine, you need to:

• press the “Start” button;
• turn the program selector knob to the “Off” position (orienting clockwise - 12 o’clock);
• Without releasing the “Start” button, switch the selector to the left side by two points - at this moment the loading hatch door will be locked, and information about the selected program will appear on the information board.

In a situation where there is no display on the control panel, the error reset is indicated by blinking LEDs.

Maxx 5

To quickly reset an error on a Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine, you need to perform several steps:

1. Check whether the loading hatch door is closed (if not, then slam it until it clicks).
2. Switch the programmer to the “Off” position.
3. Press and hold the key with the image of a twisted spiral with your finger (selecting the speed of rotation), at the same time switch the programmer knob to the “Drain” position.
4. Wait five seconds, then release the “revolution” key.
5. Switch the programmer to super-fast wash (duration 15 minutes).
6. After two seconds, turn the selector knob to the “Off” position.

Logixx 8

Reset the error signal on the Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine as quickly as possible you can if you use the following tips:

• turn the program selector to the “Spin” mode;
• wait for the sound signal, then press the “Functions” button (located in the upper left corner of the display) for four seconds;
• Without releasing the “Functions” button, set the program selector knob to the “Drain” mode;
• release the button, turn the selector to “Off” mode.

If the Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine does not have a “Functions” button on the control panel, use the speed selection button when resetting the error code.

Serie 6

Strictly adhering to the algorithm of actions, you can quickly reset the error on the Bosch Serie 6 washing machine:

1. Make sure that the programmer is set to the “Off” position.
2. Press the “Start” button and at the same time turn the selector knob one notch counterclockwise (at this moment the washing machine enters the service menu and locks the hatch door).
3. Release the “Start” button and turn the selector knob to the “Off” position.

To check whether the error has been reset, you need to start a new washing program.

Why do you need to reset correctly?

Those who believe that they can quickly reset the program by disconnecting the household appliance from the electricity network are mistaken. You can't do that!

Firstly, with such actions it is simply impossible to achieve the desired result of complete zeroing. With the supply of electricity, the washing machine will restart the previously set settings.

What to do with a frozen device?

A sudden stop of the washing machine is not always associated with serious malfunctions of internal components. Before calling a technician to your home, you must try to resuscitate your frozen washing machine yourself.

First of all, check the specified washing program. Often, the lack of draining or spinning is due to the fact that a manual or delicate wash program is running.

To “revive” the washing machine, it is enough to carry out a series of sequential actions:

• press the “Start/Pause” button;
• switch the program selector knob to the desired position;
• continue washing.

The second point is overload. It is failure to comply with the norms for loading dirty laundry into the drum that often leads to the washing machine “freezing”, indicating a problem with an error code or blinking LEDs.

To solve the problem, first of all, you need to drain the water. To do this, a hatch is found in the lower part of the body, behind which an emergency drain hose is hidden. By unscrewing the tip of the hose, the water is poured into a basin or any other container.

After five seconds, the door lock is released. All that remains to be done is to open the hatch and take out unnecessary things.

Adviсe

If a software failure occurs (the washing machine does not respond to pressing buttons or turning the selector knob), a qualified specialist will help restore the operation of the household appliance.

Independently, without relevant knowledge and experience, It is not recommended to adjust the factory settings of the automatic washing machine.

If attempts to independently resuscitate a frozen washing machine are unsuccessful, most likely the problem is associated with more serious breakdowns, which can only be eliminated after more detailed diagnostics.

Conclusion

Following a clearly defined error reset algorithm will help return the washing machine to working condition as quickly and safely as possible for further operation.
