How to reset error on a Bosch washing machine

error reset on SM BoschThe self-diagnosis system of various Bosch washing machines has one oddity. If the program recognized a malfunction and issued an error code, then you can’t remove this error from the display even after repairing the washing machine.

First you need to fix the breakdown, then, acting according to a certain scheme, you need to reset the error on the Bosch washing machine. Only after this, the washing machine will be able to start normally, and it can be operated. How to carry out such a reset, we will describe in this article.

Reset on Bosch Classixx Washers

Let's start with the Bosch Classixx washing machines. The reset pattern that we will now describe is true for the Bosch Classixx 5, Classixx 4, and Classixx 3 models. So, to clear an error that you are already tired of, you need to perform a number of simple steps:

  1. Press the “on / start” button and hold it pressed.
  2. We turn the selector from the “off” position two positions to the left (two clicks). The “on / start” button continues to hold.
  3. We wait 2 seconds and release the “on / start” button.
  4. The duration of the wash program on which the selector is currently installed should appear on the display. On machines without a display, all indicators should blink.

Classixx cars are pretty moody. Resetting the error may happen the first time, or it may not work out 4 times. Repeat the above steps many times until, finally, the reset works.

Reset to Bosch Maxx 5 Series

Bosch Maxx 5 washing machines have a completely different error reset. These cars are divided into two main groups: with displays and without. For both, the error code is reset equally. So, we put the program switch toggle switch to the “off” position.

All manipulations must be performed when the machine is turned on, and the error code has worked. Together, the error code is triggered on a typewriter without a display together with flashing indicators.

reset error on the washerNext, put the selector in the "spin" position. If in the “off” position it was at 12 o’clock, now we set it at 6 o’clock. Now click on the “drum speed” button and hold it. We continue to hold the “drum speed” button, and the selector is moved to the “Drain” position (7 hours). Next, count 3 seconds and release the “drum speed” button. Immediately turn the selector to the “Super fast 15” position (for 4 hours). We wait 2 seconds, then turn the program selector counterclockwise to the off position.

After that, the error should be reset. If the error goes away, you will see this, because the washing programs will be switched on sequentially, andwashing machine bosh without any problems will start any wash cycle. If the reset did not occur, you need to repeat the sequence of actions until it works.

Reset Logixx 8 Series

No less mysterious error resetting scheme for the Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine. Honestly, it is not clear what the developers thought when they put such a strange algorithm into the program. Why did they need this? We will redirect this question to German developers, and we will proceed smoothly to the description of resetting the error code on the Bosch Logixx 8 washer. So, we proceed as follows.

  1. Turn on the machine.
  2. We translate the program selection knob to the "Spin" position.
  3. We wait about two seconds until a characteristic beep is heard, and an error does not flash on the display.
  4. We find the button near the display on which the arrow is drawn to the left, holding it, we count 4 seconds.
  5. Next, quickly turn the program selection knob to the left by 1 division (to the drain position).
  6. Next, release the “Arrow” button and put the program selector in the “off” position.

After you have completed all of the above, the error will be reset and after restarting the washing machine you can start washing. Note that the error will definitely return if you simply reset it without eliminating the cause of its occurrence.Such a reset should only be done after a quality repair, otherwise a serious system failure may occur that will add to the problems.

    Thank! It helped to reset the error Bosch Sportline 8. The drum was blocked and the machine hung in the "no" state. After the reset, the door unlocked. But the machine’s drum does not turn and the repeated discharge only leads to the supply of water, but not to rotation of the engine.

    Bosch WLF 16170 CE classixx 5 without display. The rinse indicator flashes, does not react to anything. The indicated option did not help, it saved: the selector is at “0”, hold down the “Start” button, the selector is counterclockwise for 1 click without releasing the “Start” button, after 2 seconds we release the “Start” button. All indicators flash, reset done.

    Bosch maxx 5. When washing (for example, fast) after start, the time on the display goes up. When it comes to 24, it stops. Manually put in a rinse, rinses the norms. What's wrong with her? Errors do not appear on the display.

    I have a Bosch Avantix 7 washing machine Vario Perfect. They came home on the floor with water and a full sink of water. The door blocked, at the bottom of the hose made a drain - the door unlocked. Then he tried to turn on the machine, all the programs went astray, for example, the spin was 22 minutes, and it became 19 minutes, other programs + also went astray - the difference is 5 minutes. The machine does not start itself, the inclusion blinks and the iron is activated. After the past 2 hours - I try to turn it on again, now the machine began to flash on the display, throwing programs - wants to return to its normal position for washing at 2 hours 45 minutes. And then it resets for 2 hours 44 minutes and blinked on the display back and forth. What to do, tell me please?
