Resetting errors on a Bosch, Siemens, LG, Samsung washing machine

Absolutely every modern washing machine is capable of signaling problems using an error code. If the device is equipped with a mechanical control board, a malfunction can be identified by the blinking indicators. The error is displayed on the electronic display in the form of Latin letters and numbers. To reset errors, you must fix the problem and, if necessary, perform a series of actions.

How to reset an error on Bosch and Siemens washing machines

Resetting errors on a Bosch or Siemens washing machine can be done differently, depending on the model range and series to which the equipment belongs.

Bosch Classixx

To reset an error on a Bosch Classixx series washing machine, for example, Bosch Classixx 5, you must follow these steps:

Press and hold the power button.
Turn the program switch, which was in the off position, to the left by two programs without interrupting the previous action.
Wait two seconds, release the power key.
If the machine is equipped with a display, the duration of the program for which the selector is set will appear on the screen. If the equipment does not have a screen, all the lights will blink.

Bosch cars of this series are very capricious. It often happens that resetting the code did not work the first time, so you have to perform the procedure again. The actions must be repeated until the error occurs; sometimes it can only be reset the fourth or fifth time, and in some cases it takes much more attempts.

Bosch Maxx

To reset error codes on Bosch Maxx series washing machines, for example, Bosch Maxx 5, you need to take the following steps:

Set the program selector to the off position.
Select the “Spin” mode.
Press and hold the spin speed selection button.
Continuing to perform the previous action, turn the selector one position to the left, this is the “Drain” mode.
Wait three seconds and remove your finger from the spin speed button.
Use the selector to select a super-fast fifteen-minute program.
Wait two seconds and turn the switch counterclockwise to select the “off” position.

After reset, the display should show the time of the programs set by the user. If this does not happen and the message is still displayed, you must repeat the procedure again.

Bosch Logixx 8

To remove a fault alert on Bosch Logixx 8 series washing machines, you must:

There is a left arrow button near the display; you need to press it and hold it there for four seconds.
While continuing to hold the key, turn the program selector one notch to the left (“Drain” mode).
Release the button and set the mode switch to the “Off” position.
Now you can turn on the device again and set the desired mode. The message will not appear again.

Code E00 on Bosch washing machines

This value is usually not included in the list of error codes for machines produced by Bosch. According to professionals, it means that the equipment has successfully completed the performance test. To remove this code from the screen, you need to:

Turn off the machine, turn it on again, wait until the code appears on the display.
Select the “Rinse” mode.
Press the spin speed adjustment button and at the same time turn the selector to the “Spin” program.
If the machine has a display, “888” will appear on the screen.
Turn the selector to the “Jeans” program.
Wait a few seconds and turn off the device.

If the message does not disappear, you need to repeat the steps several times. If the code is still illuminated, you will need to contact a specialist. There may be a malfunction and the equipment will need to be repaired.

Siemens

To reset a breakdown reminder on Siemens devices, you need to:

Turn off household appliances by setting the selector to position “0”.
Turn the switch and select the “Spin” program.
Press and hold the spin speed adjustment button.
Continuing with the previous step, turn the selector one position to the left. The display will light up.
After the screen goes dark, turn off the device.
To check how effective the actions were, select any of the washing modes. If the duration of the installed program appears on the display, the user has successfully reset the failure notification.

Troubleshooting

To check the first two points, you need to remove the motor. This is an important procedure that requires physical strength, as you will need to tilt the washing machine.

Let's look at the necessary step-by-step actions:

We disconnect from electricity and water supply, as well as sewerage.
Remove the top cover by unscrewing two screws. This should be done for convenience.
We dismantle the back bar.
Pull off the drive belt.
Unscrew the screws securing the engine. It is most convenient to use a ratchet wrench.
We turn the car over on its left side when looking at it from the front. It is important!
We pull out the chip and grounding.
We remove the engine.

Ask a Question

Important! Wear protective gloves while working. You may hurt your hands.

Tachogenerator

We check the tachometer generator using a tester. It should not be in a gap and produce little voltage. Please note that this failure occurs quite rarely. Bosch and Siemens motors are famous for their reliability.

Brush unit

Brushes are diagnosed only visually. To do this, you need to remove them from the holders, first pulling out the brass bar and removing the contacts from it.

Expert opinion

Important! If the length of the brushes is less than 1 cm, then replacement is required!

Replacing brushes

First of all, we check the integrity of the collector lamellas. If they start to deflate, you can sharpen them. But this is a temporary measure. Such an engine needs to be changed, or a new rotor must be found.

Be sure to remove brush dust from all accessible areas of the electric motor. We also clean it from the grooves between the collector slats.

The brushes are installed taking into account the inclination towards the rotor!

Lapping

The grinding procedure is performed as follows:

After replacement, we install the engine in its place and fasten it. But we don't put on a belt.
We put on chips and grounding.
We start the spin program, having previously set the minimum possible speed.
Let's repeat it.
We install the drive belt.
We assemble the washing machine completely.
We don't put laundry. We choose a program lasting about an hour. We set the minimum speed. Let's launch.
After this, you can wash with clothes, but we load the machine halfway in the first 2-3 cycles.
Then we use it fully.

Do you wash your shoes in the machine?

Oh yes! No

Module faults

If you do not understand electronic circuits and do not understand the operating principles of an automatic washing machine, then it is better to entrust the repair of the control board to a trusted technician or a specialized service that provides service with a guarantee.

Even installing a new module is not so easy. If you mix up the contacts or chips, it can burn out completely. And they cost quite a lot - from 7 thousand to 20 thousand rubles for individual models.
