Error F23 in the Bosch washing machine

Most modern washing machines in the event of a washing stop display an error code on the display. For example, error F23 in a Bosch washing machine may appear at any stage of the wash. And it is caused most often by serious problems associated with water leakage. And it is dangerous flooding. We will examine in more detail with the code F23 and what to do in this case.

Code Decryption

Error F 23 in the washing machine informs the user that the Aquastop leak protection system has been activated. This means that water has entered the drip tray. The reasons for this are as follows:

• rupture of the drain or inlet hose;
• the powder receptacle is not installed correctly;
• The Aquastop sensor is faulty, but it is not necessary at all that there is water in the pan.

On a Bosch washing machine without a display, the error code is displayed in the form of flashing lights, namely the spin speed of 1000, 800 and 600, plus a rinse indicator.

Water leakage elimination

When this error occurs, the first thing you need to do is unplug the washing machine and turn off the water tap. If the electrician is not in order in the washing machine and there is electricity on the case, then you may be shocked. After this, begin to consistently check for possible water leaks.

See if the powder receptacle is installed correctly, water can flow out through it, try to pull it out and put it back in place. Then you should check the connection of the drain hose and pump, as well as the drain pipe. Here's what you need to do:

• disconnect the machine from the water supply and sewerage;
• drain the water from the washing machine;
• turn the washing machine on its side;
• gently move the pallet to the side;
• look through the bottom of the machine into the body, find the pump and check the connection with the drain hose and nozzles;
• Repair if necessary by replacing worn parts.

Note! Water can also leak through the junction hose connection with the machine, only in this case it will immediately fall to the floor. And this can happen even if the Bosch washing machine is turned off.

Another place through which water can seep into the machine body is the pipe going from the filler valve to the powder receptacle. Its tightness can be checked by removing the top cover of the washer.

Aquastop Sensor Replacement

If during the analysis of the machine, you saw that there is no water in the pan, and the error code F23 was displayed, then the reason should be found in the Aquastop sensor or the "brains" of the machine itself. Perhaps you tipped it the day before and the float stuck, and after the machine was turned on, an error worked.

But if there is no sticking, then it is necessary to replace the sensor. Make it simple, the main thing is to buy a new part. The sensor is disconnected from the wires and removed from the latches, in place of a working sensor.

Thus, error F23 occurs only in Bosch washing machines equipped with the Aquastop protection system. And if this protection worked, then this code is displayed. You can fix this error yourself, but if disassemble the washing machine If you have no desire, then the master will do it for you at home.
