Error E29 in the Bosch washing machine

Error E29 in the Bosch washing machineOften on the displays of washing machines you can see various error codes. As a rule, this means that a problem has arisen inside the device and before its elimination the unit is unlikely to be able to work in normal mode. Error E29 on the Bosch washing machine may indicate that the cause of the problem lies in the inlet valve. What to do in such a situation?

What to check first?

In general, the error E29 indicates that the sensor does not detect the filling of the unit with water, or it happens too slowly. Therefore, it is necessary to start by checking exactly those parts that are responsible for the collection of water.

See if everything is okay with the inlet hose. Perhaps a crease or bend has formed that blocks the water from entering the tank. Also make sure that the hose is located at least 50 cm above the floor (this is the height at which the CM tank is located).maybe there is no water in the tap

The problem may also lie in the absence of sufficient pressure. To check this, disconnect the hose and lower it into the bath or sink. If the pressure level is really low, turn the inlet valve. If there is no change, contact the wizard.

Error code E29 is not always associated with water. It is possible that the hatch door does not fully latch, the lock does not fall into a niche or moves, breaks, etc. If the locking device fails, the same thing happens.

Note! The machine is programmed to start washing only when the drum is completely sealed. Otherwise, it issues a trouble code. Also inspect the hinges and cuff, try to open and close the door again. UBL is checked using a tester.

Sometimes a dirty filter interferes with the pressure of the water, which is a fine mesh between the inlet valve and the pressure hose. With the accumulation of debris and impurities, a blockage forms that does not allow water to pass through. To clean the filter, remove the hose and remove the mesh with pliers, rinse. Sometimes this is the solution to the problem. After all completed operations, try restarting the wash.

Find and fix the problem

If all of the above solutions to the error did not produce results, it means that with a high probability your Bosch machine will need to repair or replace some parts. The following elements are at risk:

  • inlet valve;
  • pressure switch;
  • water control sensor.

The first suspect is the intake valve. To find it, you need to remove the top panel of the washing unit. Checking if an item is working or not is simple. Take the tester and measure the resistance of the coil. If it is faulty, buy a new one and replace it, however, the craftsmen advise changing the entire valve completely to avoid further problems with this part.need to check the pressure switch

If the pressure switch is broken, unfortunately, it will not work to repair it, it cannot be repaired. You have to buy a new one and call the wizard to install. However, do not rush to despair, perhaps the pressure switch is also just clogged. Additionally, you do not need to disassemble anything, the part is also located at the top of the Bosch machine. Disconnect the tube from the pressure switch and rinse thoroughly with running water. Put in place and see if it is gone error code. If not, then you are dealing with a breakdown.

Attention! When you inspect the washer yourself, do not forget about safety, disconnect the unit from the power supply before starting work.

Another possible reason is a malfunction in the electronic module system, namely in the water intake sensor. If a breakdown occurs, the sensor simply does not understand that the tank is full, and does not give the appropriate signal to the machine to start washing. It’s worth mentioning right away that it’s quite difficult to fix problems in the “brains” of the machine, especially on their own. It will be easier, or maybe cheaper, to buy a new unit, but here it is up to everyone to decide for themselves.To check the electronic module, ring all the parts with a multimeter that shows the voltage. If the failure is not connected with the final failure of the element, the experienced master is quite capable of helping you.
