How to unlock the Bosch washing machine

Many users like Bosch washing machines, but something in them is depressing. They have pretty tricky locks: from children and after issuing an error code.

Thousands of people suffer, not knowing how to properly unlock the Bosch washing machine. They try to turn it off and on, turn the knob of the programs, make other meaningless manipulations, that's just the point of all this is zero. In this article we will try to remove this issue once and for all, talking about unlocking various Bosch washers, we hope this information will be useful.

Child Lock

There are two types of locks on the Bosch washing machine, as we have already noted, first we will see what to do if it is locked from children. Young mothers very often use this function so that their little child, who has already begun to show interest in technology, does nothing. If you use the child lock in the normal mode strictly according to the instructions, then there are no problems. The normal use of the function is as follows.

• turn on the washer;
• set the program;
• set the lock;
• run the program;
• waiting for the end of the wash;
• remove the lock;
• turn off the washing machine.

As soon as the hostess hurried and turned off the washing machine with the lock on, this creates a problem. After turning it on again, the machine will not let you set the program. The standard release of the child lock using the key combination will not help. In this case, you can open the washing machine, the hatch will not be locked.

A child can turn off the machine without removing the lock, since the machine is unfortunately not protected from turning off.

What is the secret, how to remove the child lock if the Bosch washer was turned off in locked mode? Everything is very simple, you need to remember on which program you washed the last time. Turning the program knob, we set the mode in which the child protection was set. Then everything is simple. Turn off the lock mode in the standard way.

1. On Bosch logixx 8, you must open the hatch door and press the button, which is marked with the left arrow “Options”. Pressing the button, hold it until the machine squeaks and the lock is released.
2. On Bosch maxx 5 you need to press the start / pause button and hold it for about 6-8 seconds. If the “Key” icon disappears from the display, then the lock is released.
3. On Bosch WAS 20443, a similar lock is removed in the same way. Press the start / pause button and hold it for about 8 seconds. Withdrawal will occur after a squeak.

Unlock after error code

The machine can hang up tightly, not only due to incorrectly removed child locks, but also due to an error that has not been cleared. Suppose your Bosch machine generated an error code. The failure was found and fixed, but the error still hangs. Disabling and turning on the machine does not help. What to do? You need to clear the error by pressing the key combination. What you need to click, we described in the article How to reset error on a Bosch washing machine, read it, and everything will become clear to you.

Unlocking is carried out exclusively according to the instructions. No need to come up with your own reset methods, which can lead to breakdowns. Our masters were forced to reflash the control chip after the owner ineptly reset the firmware, trying to reset the error code on their own. Re-flashing cost the unfortunate owner of several tens of dollars. Do not repeat his mistakes.

So, we figured out how to remove the lock on the Bosch brand washer. Act carefully and do not deviate from the instructions, you will surely succeed. Good luck
