Also, if the washing machine is under warranty, you must contact the Bocsh service center, where you will be provided with quality service. Possible error codes and factors influencing their occurrence are listed below.
F01 - malfunction of the washing unit door lock. You want to check the tightness of the sealing gum or whether the laundry is stuck between the cabinet and the door. If this is not the reason, then a replacement of the blocker is required.
F02 - liquid does not flow into the washing machine. The problem arises during the water collection process, i.e. liquid does not enter the washing machine tank or, on the contrary, exceeds its optimal amount. With this error, the filler valve may become clogged or clogged, or even break down and fail. It is also possible that the sensor responsible for determining the water level and the controller is faulty.
F03 - this error code is issued by the machine when the water is drained slowly or does not occur at all. This error appears when the contacts and conductors of the drain pump are broken or broken. The sensor responsible for the water level of the machine is damaged or out of order. It is also possible that the drain pipe or filter is clogged.
F04 - water may be leaking from the cavity of the washing unit. To fix the problem, all leaks must be repaired.
F16 - occurs in case of malfunctions of the device responsible for blocking the door of the washing machine. If this problem occurs, the door lock may malfunction, and the wiring and integrity of the electronic controller may also be broken.
F17 - time interval for water injection exceeded. It is necessary to check whether the water supply tap is closed, and also to inspect the integrity of the water supply hose. The water level sensor or its contacts are faulty.
F18 - the same reason as in F03, but the problem lies precisely in the malfunction of the pump, which must be replaced.
F19 - water does not heat up at all or very little. When a problem occurs, there may be several reasons:
- the tubular electric heater has become unusable.
- the temperature sensor is faulty.
- the water level control sensor is out of order.
F20 - water heating is done too abruptly. With this error, it is worth replacing the thermal sensor and its relay.
F21 - the electric drive does not work or does not work as it should.When this error appears, the motor power supply unit is replaced or the drive is rewound.
F22 - NTC temperature sensor is faulty. At the same time, this thermal sensor must be unscrewed and replaced with a new, serviceable one.
F23 - start water injection stop. The reason is the ingress of water on the wiring contacts and the oxidation of the latter.
F25 - the water purity control sensor is out of order. The reason is the clogging of the pressure switch, as well as the presence of plaque on it.
F26 - the pressure sensor has become unusable. In this case, it must be replaced.
F27 - the pressure sensor is not working properly. In case of this error, contact the service center in order to repair the electrical equipment.
F28 - the water pressure control sensor is faulty. It is required to check the sensor for operation and check the wiring contacts.

F36 - the washing machine door locking system does not work. Checking all contacts of the lock is required. You can also restart the washing program.
F37 - the temperature sensor has a malfunction, manifested in a breakdown or damage to the wiring contacts.
F38 - short circuit of the temperature sensor. The reason is the same as in the above error.
F40 - appears if there is a power surge.
F42 - engine operation at increased speeds, exceeding those allowed by the program. This error is caused by a breakdown of the tacho sensors and the generator. With this breakdown, it is necessary to check the motor winding and, in case of a malfunction, replace it.
F43 - the electric drive does not work or does not work as it should. When this error appears, the motor power supply unit is replaced or the drive is rewound.
F44 - the machine drive refuses to rotate in the other direction. The problem is fixed in the same way as the error mentioned above.
