Bosch washing machine - reviews

The Bosch machine was purchased in June 2015. It broke down in March 2020, the electronics and control module flew off. Such expensive cars don't last long!?

The BOSCH washing machine 20164th assembly Peter worked for exactly a year and the next day the MU (electronics) broke down. Horrified...at this turn of affairs...The master said, now BOSCH is G...repair costs half of a new machine...

We purchased this washing machine half a year ago. After just a few months, she began to stain her clothes with light gray stains that could not be washed off with anything, no matter what stain removers or methods I tried. This is repeated regularly, with every wash. We contacted BOSH (under warranty), reference number 1118131 07/19/2019. Rostov-on-Don to fix the problem. An engineer was sent to us, he did not carry out any diagnostics, did not disassemble it or even move it aside, he said that it was working and refused to repair anything or fix the problem. A 50-year-old man, as the rude man told me, refused to take anything apart and identify the problem and didn’t even listen to me. I closed the request, writing that everything was fine. And no one is even going to solve the problem. I have two small children and I don’t need to tell you how many things need to be washed and I can’t do it without a machine. WHAT WAS IT??? I AM TERRIFIED!!!!!!! What kind of company is this that sends such stupid “specialists” who don’t want to work? When buying this NOT CHEAP machine, I expected quality and a long period of trouble-free service for the washing machine from BOSH, but what did I get??? Our old 30-year-old LG machine couldn't do anything even close to this without needing repairs. And here, three months???? Are you seriously???? Don’t buy this for nothing, run away from BOSH, choose anything but this company. How many things are damaged, thrown in the trash, who will pay me for them??? Here you have all the quality and all the false service, no one will help you with anything. My complaint goes to Rospotrebnadzor in order to somehow return the money or replace the machine.

Very sad! I bought a Bosch washing machine in December 2022. Now it is May 2022. And my machine broke down. The electronics flew, as the master said. I couldn’t open the door myself, but a mechanic did it by dismantling the floor of the car! So I’m sitting and waiting to see if it can be repaired or not. Sadly! For that kind of money I worked for 1.5 years. Before that there was a Whirlpool machine. I worked for 20 years!

I’m reading the reviews and I don’t know what conclusion I should draw: either we can’t use such an ideal machine, or we only have a BOCH sticker! When we bought HOUMPROFESSIONAL for 117 thousand rubles, we thought that we could wash any clothes with high quality without any problems, but in reality this super machine showed that it works at least somehow in two modes, and after its efforts we end up with unrinsed items with stains from powder, things broken after spinning, even at low speeds. It’s especially sad to look at dark clothes: additional rinsing does not help remove soap stains even from detergent for dark clothes, you have to run a short wash without powder. We wash items made of wool and silk by hand, to be safe. This is the BOCH we got! Maybe someone can tell me how to do it so that I can get at least more water for rinsing.

a year ago we bought a Bosch washing machine to replace the Electrolux I’ll tell you straight away the machine sucks for that kind of money tears up the laundry takes puffs in the towels New towels just bought look like old ones In the store they told us to send it to the workshop 2 times they sent it scratched the case they said we’re making up everything they have ok Shop refused to return the money I will never contact the BOSCH brand again in my life and I will not go to the store 5 element for a cannon shot. Never buy Bosch. Considerable money, just any car.
I buy equipment for the home and write honestly
https://irecommend.ru/content/lyublyu-bosch-no-mashinka-wlk24247oe-uzhasna-ne-tratte-dengi-zrya
Let's start with the fact that I am a fan of Bosch equipment and, in principle, did not consider other brands of washing machines; for me there was only Bosch and the only choice was which model to buy.
Before this, I used a Bosch washing machine for many years and was very pleased.
The reasons for the change were renovations in the bathroom and a top-loading machine no longer fit into the new renovation, it was needed from the side, and also in an old machine, when you wash a lot - and we wash 2-3 loads every day, sometimes water began to leak. In general, we decided to replace the old machine with a new, perfect Bosch model.
And what do you think, are we seriously thinking about changing it back, we don’t like the WLK24247OE model so much, fortunately they didn’t throw out the old one, I’m not joking.
- She takes a very long time to wash.
- Inconvenient modes
- Doesn't wash well - tried changing powders, same result
- If you put a full tank in as stated, it doesn’t rinse the laundry well.
- Instead of a variety of programs - they are not convenient - I wash on three - mixed laundry - since this is an hour in time, 30 minutes of washing, and if cotton is heavily soiled - this is 2.5 hours.
- and the most ahrung - it tears thin fabrics in the usual way. I use thin cotton for wearing at home - so all my clothes are in small identical holes.
- At the same time, this model costs a fortune - for a high-quality washing machine that will last 10 years, yes, I was ready to pay above the market, but as a result I received a washing machine that does not perform its function - which tears things up!!!!
And only the price of this miracle does not allow me to change it - I dreamed of a Bosch so much, when I told my husband that we were taking it, he said let’s buy two other non-Bosch ones for this money, but I stubbornly resisted, I only want a Bosch, I use it and I want It’s convenient to use, especially since everyone liked my old horse. Now I’m preparing him to exchange this miracle for another, and I don’t even want to send this one to the dacha, it’s a pity for dacha things.
And finally, 3dWashing, VarioPerfect - and other advertising gimmicks - you will not see the results and use them in everyday life.
The stated weight is 7 kg - it can hold it - but it doesn’t throw it out - the powder remains, for example, I have to divide the cover on the sofa into two parts and attention in 2022 - throw it out manually!!! And yes - I sprinkle a little powder, ordinary machines for 15 tr at the dacha - they weed out, but this beast does not.
DO NOT BUY The BOSCH WLK24247OE washing machine is a pest, I think whoever praises it should use it himself and then we’ll see if he has the courage to praise this miracle of technology.
And I repeat, I have a lot of BOSCH equipment - I’m a fan of it. But the machine is real yyyy….
I've been using the machine for 1.5 years - I'm going to change it.
Delay start - I use this function and am satisfied. And yes, she pees all over the apartment when she’s finished doing the laundry, not just once, but several times. Because we do a lot of laundry, I sometimes do it at night, so we had guests - they woke up at night, in the morning they said they couldn’t understand what he was writing. So this is with the door to the bathroom and room closed. A miracle of technology in all its glory.
I bought this miracle - after reading reviews and advertising articles, and I sincerely wish everyone who responded positively to really live with this miracle technology. And thanks to BOSCH for the experience, I will look more carefully at other products of this brand. Lesson for me.
I really regret the purchase

It would seem that Bosch is European quality, thoughtful and smart technologies, etc. The Germans do it after all (although now they assemble them mainly here in Russia or Poland). Most consumers think so. Nonsense.
The Bosch WLG20061OE model is a very unsuccessful model. There’s not even much to say about it: 5 kg load, 1000 rpm spin, standard set of programs: washing delicate fabrics, washing children’s clothes, washing jeans, quick wash, washing children’s clothes, washing program for mixed fabrics, washing in a lot of water, soak, pre-wash, stain removal program. Nothing special. But there are downsides. There are not many of them, but I think they are serious:
There is no display that would show the time remaining until the end of the wash.
The spin speed cannot be adjusted. This is a really serious flaw. Well, I don’t want to wring out my favorite socks at 1000 rpm. But you will have to, because there is no way to adjust the speed. So spin as you want.
Very heavy.
No child protection.
Bottom line. Koreans and Chinese make their washing machines much better and more functional. Bosch, it's time to evolve.

We also purchased this washing machine in the video for a promotion. It doesn’t wash badly, in its own way, we’ll get used to it. The old Candy 800T dealt with all types of dirt in 30 minutes. But the new one has a button to reduce the washing time, which is convenient. With a stated load of 7 kg, you can only load 5, which is a shame. She no longer washes or rinses. If it weren’t for the 10,000 share, I wouldn’t have taken it. There are other models of machines with these functions that are cheaper. During the spin cycle it stands still, but shakes like naked in the cold! It is level, the transport bolts are unscrewed. Let's really hope that it will work for at least 7 years and will not break immediately after warranty. If I could, I would take a vertical one! They work much quieter and fit a lot of laundry, but they have the same functions. But the prices are outrageous!

Very poor execution of the door. Cheap, flimsy plastic.
After half a year of use, the door began to jam; I had to press it with my foot to start washing. After another couple of months, the machine began to display error A02 and block the door at the end of the wash. It was possible to open it only by unlocking the door manually, for which it was necessary to pull back the plastic lever located at the bottom next to the drain each time. Another month later, the door handle broke off completely... We are waiting for the technician... Door repair is about 8-9000 rubles. Replacement is apparently even more expensive.

I don’t advise you to get involved with the Bosch brand - our drum cross (mod. was244430e) fell apart, it just fell apart after three years, despite the fact that it is removable, you can’t buy it separately, only together with the drum - 7 thousand. 400 UAH is, in short, complete nonsense, for this money you can buy a new car and fuck .. these brands, when they are not expensive and everything is repaired without problems and not expensive

In the Bosch waq28440 machine there is one huge, with a huge disadvantage, a non-demountable tank, after 2 years of work the bearings flew, repair 16,000, the machine itself 19,800. I had to leave it as is. A broken bearing rumbles terribly, but I won’t repair it, as long as it lasts, it will last for 1.5 years. Craftsmen from different services came and said “buy a new one, because if we repair it, the same thing will happen in 2 years”; in short, it’s doing the laundry and amusing the neighbors with its noise.
Where should I put the laundry detergent?
As a rule, washing machines in the Bosch Maxx 5 line are equipped with universal powder receptacles. The only thing you need to remember is what each of the three compartments is needed for:
- The first one is quite easy to find by the indicated Roman numeral “I” or the letter “A”. Visually you can see that it is the largest in size. Most of the powder or washing gel is poured into it. It is important to note that its use is for pre-soak or pre-soak purposes only. Therefore, most consumers use it extremely rarely.
- The second compartment is usually indicated in blue or with an icon in the shape of a flower or star. It is intended for liquid rinse aid. The product is only removed during the rinsing process. Not all washing modes of the Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine are programmed to take in air conditioner during the second washing stage. Therefore, if after executing the program the product remains in the compartment, this does not always indicate that the program was not executed correctly. For example, in the “Down Jackets” mode, rinse aid is not used.
- The third compartment is considered the main one. It contains powder or liquid gel for all washing modes. You can also add a stain remover here.
Starting the wash
You should not turn on the bosch maxx 5 washing machine immediately after connecting it. First you need to check whether the tap-tee is open. You should also check whether water flows by gravity into the washer tank.
If everything is in order, then you need to perform the following steps:
Bosch maxx 5 control panel
- Turn on the washing machine by pressing the “on/off” button,
- Close the hatch
- Add a little powder to the powder receptacle compartment intended for the main wash. Then push the tray in.
- Using the program selector, select the laundry washing mode at 900C.
- Press the “start” button. Wait until the washing process is completed. After the machine stops working, it can be used as usual.
The first start of Bosch washing equipment should be done without laundry in the drum. In other words, the program in this case should run idle.
Starting the washing machine when washing clothes should be done in the same way as when starting it for the first time. But you need to pour in more powder and pre-sort the laundry before putting it in the machine.
To reload laundry during washing, you must press the “start” button. One of the messages should appear on the display. Additional loading can be performed if the message “Yes” is displayed. If the message “No” appears, additional loading cannot be performed. Next, you need to press “start” and the washing process will continue.
It should be noted that the washing program can be changed during its execution. In this case, you need to press “start”, then set the washing mode selector to the required position. Next, you need to press “start” again. As a result, the old washing program will be canceled and a new one will start from the beginning.
Basic care and safety rules
According to user reviews, the Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine can last more than 10 years, the main thing is to strictly follow the operating rules:
- The device must be connected via an RCD. A correctly selected automatic circuit breaker can protect the control apparatus of the device from power surges. And this is the most expensive part of the washing machine. Often, due to the failure of electronic components, you have to buy new household appliances.
- It is necessary to periodically, at least once every six months, clean the drain filter. It is accessed through the lower part of the front housing of washing machines from the Bosch Maxx 5 line.
- After completing the wash, it is recommended to empty the remaining water from the powder compartment. The manufacturer has provided the possibility of disconnecting the powder receiver. To do this, click on the blue part of the middle compartment.
- Do not overload the drum of the Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine. The operating instructions contain information on the maximum load of dry laundry to complete one wash cycle.
- There is always a certain amount of liquid left in the cuff, where the water is drained after washing; there you can also find small items that have fallen out of your pocket, buttons, locks and other small parts. All this must be eliminated, and the rubber gasket must be wiped dry with a dry soft cloth. Otherwise, over time, after washing, the clothes may have an unpleasant odor due to mold that has formed in this place.
Correct installation of the machine
Bosch Maxx 5 washing appliances should be installed on a reinforced surface. It should be noted that during the washing process the machine may move due to strong vibration. That is why it should be installed level. It’s even better to fix the body by additionally securing the legs.
It is important to note that this washing equipment is heavy. Therefore, you need to be very careful when moving it from one place to another.
After unpacking the machine, you need to check the condition of the case. If damage is found, the equipment must be returned to the store. You don't even need to connect it to the mains.
If the body of the machine has no defects, then you can install it. However, it is necessary to first prepare the place where the washing equipment will be located.
To do this you need to do the following:
- Strengthen the floor. It is not at all necessary to make the floor perfectly level, because at the base of the washing machine there are twist-out legs with which you can adjust its position.
- Organize the removal of sewerage and water pipes. You also need to install a moisture-resistant outlet for the washing machine.
- Check the space in which the washing machine will be placed. The gap between objects located nearby should be at least 1 centimeter.
The fifth Bosch Maxx model contains special transport bolts on the rear wall. They secure the drum during transportation. Before using the machine, they should be unscrewed. These bolts should be collected, but not thrown away. They may be needed in the future.
Then you need to plug the holes for the bolts. It is also necessary to remove the drain and fill hoses from the fixing fasteners. But this is done after moving the washing machine to the installation site.
Then you need to place a building level on the lid of the washer, and then unscrew its legs one by one until the machine is level. The deviation should not exceed 2 degrees. Next, you need to connect the drain hose to the sewer. It needs to be bent in such a way that water remains in the knee. Then no foreign odors from the sewer pipe will enter the machine. The best connection height is 60 centimeters.
Next, you need to connect the inlet hose to the water pipe. This is done through a tee tap. The connections must be insulated with foam. The tee valve outlets must have a standard diameter (3⁄4 inches). Before screwing on the inlet hose, you must check that all rubber seals are present.
Do not connect washing equipment to a water supply with low water pressure. Checking the pressure is very simple. You need to open the tap and then count the number of liters of water that will flow out of the water supply in one minute. Must be at least 8 liters.
At the final stage, you need to plug in the washing machine. But first you need to check that the outlet is working properly. If you have doubts at this stage, it is better to contact an electrician. It is important that the outlet is grounded. It must also cope with the maximum load that the Bosch machine can create.
Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine errors
First of all, it is worth saying that repairing a washing machine yourself is a risky undertaking, which may result in the replacement of many parts or the need to buy a new device. One of the most common errors is F17. Typically, it indicates that the inlet water is no longer flowing in the required quantity and most likely the main cause is contamination. To avoid errors, it is necessary to clean the hose and monitor its functioning.
Another malfunction occurs if the machine stops heating the water during the washing process. As a rule, the cause is fabric lint that remains in the tank after washing. Therefore, in order to rid the device of such unwanted problems, it is recommended to blow out the pressure switch from time to time.
Equipment care
A Bosch washing machine will last a long time with proper care. The washing machine hatch should be left slightly open at the end of each wash. Otherwise, air will not get inside the machine and an unpleasant odor or mold may appear. The powder receptacle should also be left open.
After washing, you need to wipe the hatch cuff with a cloth. The same is done with the inner surfaces of the drum and the powder compartments. Dirt quickly accumulates in the garbage filter, so it needs to be unscrewed and washed after every 4-5 washes.
You should also check the pockets of your clothes before putting them in the washing machine drum. Small objects should not remain in them. After using washing equipment, be sure to close the tap.
Do not overload the washing machine with a large amount of laundry. Also, do not put in excessive amounts of rinse aid or detergent. If the machine malfunctions, an error code appears on its display. In this case, you need to contact a service center for help.
