Bosch offers two main types of washing machines: front-loading and top loading.

A front-loading washing machine has a door on the front of the unit. It is known for being more energy-efficient, using less water, and being gentler on clothes compared to top-loading models. They typically have a higher load capacity and can be stacked with a dryer to save space.

A top loading washing machine has a door on the top of the unit. It is generally easier to load and unload without bending down. These machines are often preferred in households where space is not a constraint.

The right washing machine size or capacity will be based on your specific needs, including your laundry requirements and the size of your space.

Single or Couple: 6 kg to 7 kg capacity is usually sufficient.

Small Family (3-4 members): 7 kg to 8 kg capacity works well.

Medium Family (4-5 members): 8 kg to 9 kg capacity is ideal.

The different series represent varying levels of features and technologies:

Series 2: Basic models with essential features, suitable for budget-conscious buyers.

Series 4: Mid-range models with additional features like EcoSilence Drive™ and more wash programs.

Series 6: Advanced models with features like VarioPerfect™ and higher energy efficiency.

Series 8: Premium models with the latest technologies, smart connectivity, and the highest energy efficiency.

The EcoSilence Drive™ is a motor technology used in Bosch washing machines that reduces noise and energy consumption, providing a quieter and more efficient wash.

VarioPerfect™ allows you to choose between two options: SpeedPerfect for a faster wash or EcoPerfect for a more energy-efficient wash, depending on your needs.

ActiveWater™ technology optimizes water usage by automatically adjusting the water level based on the load size and fabric type, ensuring efficient water use.

Some Bosch washing machines come with Home Connect™ technology, allowing you to control and monitor your washing machine remotely using your smartphone or tablet.

Bosch washing machines typically come with a standard two-year warranty, but warranty terms may vary by model and region. Check the specific warranty details provided with your machine or on the Bosch website.

Common features include multiple wash programs, variable spin speeds, temperature settings, load sensing, delay start, and child lock. Advanced models may offer steam wash, automatic dosing, and smart connectivity.

• Ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Check the circuit breaker or fuse box for any tripped breakers or blown fuses.
• Make sure the door is properly closed, as many models won't start if the door is not securely shut.

• Verify that the water supply valves are fully open.
• Check the water hoses for any kinks or blockages.
• Clean the inlet filters, which may be clogged with debris.
• Make sure the door is properly closed.

• Check the drain hose for any clogs or kinks.
• Clean the drain pump filter, which could be blocked.
• Ensure the drain hose is positioned correctly and not submerged in water.
• If the problem persists, there could be an issue with the drain pump or a clog in the plumbing.

• Ensure the washing machine is level and stable on the floor.
• Check for any objects, like coins or buttons, caught in the drum or pump filter.
• Make sure the laundry load is balanced; redistribute the clothes evenly in the drum.
• Inspect the shock absorbers and suspension springs for wear or damage.

• Wait a few minutes after the cycle ends; the door may be locked until the drum completely stops spinning.
• If there is water in the drum, drain it by running a drain program or manually draining through the pump filter.
• Check if the child lock feature is activated and disable it if necessary.
• If the door is still stuck, there could be an issue with the door lock mechanism.

Refer to the user manual for a list of error codes and their meanings.

Common error codes include:

• E17/F17: Water supply time exceeded
• E23/F23: Aquastop triggered (water protection system)
• E25/F25: Turbidity sensor faulty
• E26/F26: Analogue pressure sensor faulty

Follow the troubleshooting steps provided for each error code in the manual.

• Ensure the load is balanced; an unbalanced load can prevent the spin cycle.
