Errors Bosch washing machines F01-F28
However, in order to understand what the errors of the washing machine show, you must be competent in deciphering these encodings. If an error occurs, you should not try to correct the cause yourself, if you do not have the necessary experience and the required knowledge. You should call a specialist who can not only correctly identify the cause of the breakdown, but also eliminate it in a timely manner. Also, if the washing machine is under warranty, you must contact the Bocsh brand service center, where you will be provided with quality service. Possible error codes and factors that influence their occurrence are listed below.
F01 - malfunction of the door lock of the washing unit. It is necessary to check the tightness of the sealing gum or whether the laundry is stuck between the body and the door. If this is not the case, then a replacement lock is required.
F02 - liquid does not enter the washing machine. The problem occurs during the water collection process, i.e. the liquid does not enter the washing tank or, on the contrary, exceeds its optimum amount. With this error, the clogging valve may clog or clog, or even break and fail. It is also possible that the sensor responsible for determining the water level and the controller is defective.
F03 - this error code is issued by the machine when the water is drained slowly or does not occur at all. This error appears when the contacts and conductors of the drain pump are broken or broken. The sensor responsible for the water level of the machine is damaged or malfunctioning. It is also possible that the drain pipe or filter is clogged.
F04 - water may leak from the cavity of the washing unit. To fix the problem, all leaks must be fixed.
F16 - occurs when there is a malfunction of the device responsible for locking the door of the washing machine. If this problem occurs, the door lock lock may malfunction, and the wiring and integrity of the electronic controller may be impaired.
F17 - the time interval for water injection has been exceeded. It is necessary to check whether the water supply tap is closed, and also to check the integrity of the hose for water intake. Defective water level sensor or its contacts.
F18 is the same reason as in F03, but the problem lies precisely in the malfunction of the pump, which must be replaced.
F19 - water does not heat up at all or very weakly. If a problem occurs, there may be several reasons:
- the tubular electric heater became unusable.
- faulty temperature sensor.
- The water level sensor is out of order.
F20 - water heating is too sharp. With this error, it is worth replacing the temperature sensor and its relay.
F21 - the drive does not work or does not work as it should. When this error occurs, the engine power supply is replaced or the drive is rewound.
F22 - NTC temperature sensor is faulty. At the same time, this temperature sensor must be unscrewed and replaced with a new, serviceable one.
F23 - start stop water injection. The reason is the ingress of water to the wiring contacts and the oxidation of the latter.
F25 - the water purity control sensor has failed. The reason is the clogging of the pressure switch, as well as the presence of a coating on it.
F26 - the pressure sensor has become unusable. In this case, it must be replaced.
F27 - The pressure sensor is not working properly. If this error occurs, contact the service center in order to repair the electrical equipment.
F28 - the water pressure control sensor is faulty. It is required to check the sensor for operability and check the wiring contacts.

Errors Bosch washing machines F29-F44
F29 - the water pressure control sensor does not detect the passage of water through itself. Check the filter, water tap, pump and system pressure.
F31 - this error of the Bosch washing machine is a malfunction of the filling valves, overfilling above the programmed water level in the tank. The signal comes from the level control relay that the tank is full and the machine stops. This problem is explained by the failure of the water level control controller, which is stuck in one position due to which the filling valve allows water to pass through.
F34 - malfunction of the door lock device of the washing machine. May be caused by a violation of the integrity of the wiring and the electronic controller, checking the electronic lock.
F36 - The washing machine door lock system does not work. Verification of all lock contacts is required. You can also restart the wash program.
F37 - The temperature sensor has a malfunction, which manifests itself in a breakdown or damage to the wiring contacts.
F38 - short circuit of the temperature sensor. The reason is the same as in the above error.
F40 - appears if a power surge has occurred.
F42 - engine operation at higher speeds, exceeding the permissible program. This error results in damage to the tachometers and the generator. In case of this breakdown, it is necessary to check the motor winding and in case of a malfunction, replace it.
F43 - the drive does not work or does not work as it should. When this error occurs, the engine power supply is replaced or the drive is rewound.
F44 - the machine drive refuses to rotate in the opposite direction. The problem is fixed in the same way as the error indicated above.
