Bosch Top Load Washing Machine: troubleshooting and FAQs

Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Bosch Top Load Washing Machine.

Troubleshooting tips

  • If your Bosch top load washing machine is not draining, check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the hose is not submerged in water and is properly connected to the standpipe. Also, clean the drain filter located at the bottom front of the machine (refer to your user manual for exact location).
  • If the machine vibrates excessively during spin cycles, ensure it is level. Adjust the feet by turning them clockwise or counterclockwise until the machine is stable. Avoid installing on uneven floors. Also, make sure the load is balanced; redistribute clothes evenly.
  • If the washing machine fails to start, check that the door is properly closed and latched. Ensure the power cord is plugged into a working outlet and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the control panel is unresponsive, try resetting the machine by unplugging it for 5 minutes and plugging it back in.
  • If you see error code E18 (or similar), it indicates a draining issue. Clean the drain pump filter and check the drain hose for obstructions. If the problem persists, contact Bosch service at 1800-266-1880.
  • For foul odors, run a hot water cycle with a cup of white vinegar or a washing machine cleaner. Regularly clean the detergent dispenser and leave the door open after use to allow ventilation.
