Error codes for the BOSCH and SIEMENS washing machines
Washing machines can not only wash clothes, but also determine the malfunction, if any. More models have the ability to do self-diagnosis. That is, they inform about a breakdown using an error code.
At those moments when a malfunction or malfunction occurs, the Bosch washing machine, like many other models, displays letters and numbers on the display. With these letters and numbers, the breakdown that appeared is encoded. This is extremely convenient. After all, the same symptoms can occur with breakdowns of different parts of the machine.
And here she reports on what needs to be checked. Whether you will call the master or decide to do the repair yourself, in any case, this will facilitate the work. But in order for the essence of the malfunction to become clear to you, you need to decrypt the code displayed on the display. Next, we will present you with a list of codes and their interpretation.

The Siemens VarioPerfect IQ300 washing machine, in the “mixed laundry” and “dark linen” modes, does not squeeze the laundry completely at the end of the washing cycle. It is necessary to additionally include the spin mode. How to solve the problem without taking the machine to the service center. Thank.
Good day! We have a strange Siemens IQ700 machine, I can’t unscrew the lid of the water pump, the lid handle is upright for 12 hours, it is unscrewed to the left only a quarter, it doesn’t go further, and also cannot be removed. Tell me how to unscrew. Identification numbers:
E-Nr.WM12S47AOE / 07 FD9201 200129,
KD Code ^ ME257C60110X00110102,
Sincerely, Alexander
The same machine. But as I understand it, basically the Siemens water pump covers are the same. (And Bosch, too). I did not find any other way but to remove the front panel. There is one bolt next to the filter cover. It must be unscrewed. Then squeeze the latch. It is located to the left and just above the cover. The remaining latches themselves are unfastened with a screwdriver. Then you need to reach the clamp with pliers and pull the hose from the pump. Remove debris from the filter hole. And - Oh, a miracle! The lid immediately opens easily. Assemble in the reverse order.
Hello! Machine Siemens advantig X10.34. Error F21 appeared on the display. Changed the engine brushes.F21 blinks anyway. How to reset the display? Or another reason for the malfunction? Thank.
Siemens error F78, what is it, who knows?
Good day. The Bosch E-NR machine: WFL16620E / 10 FD8511 100192 erases in one mode, the rest do not work. Tell me, can I fix this myself? Can reset or reboot?
Good day! The Indesit machine starts the washing mode, it is slightly pumped with water and stops. If you pour water through the powder container, it starts to twist. Pour three buckets - it works. But it doesn’t warm, but rinses, squeezes it out - everything is in order.
Typewriter Bosch WLK20264OE. Error E21 popped up during washing.
