How to reset an error on a Bosch washing machine
The self-diagnosis system of various Bosch washing machines has one oddity. If the program recognizes a malfunction and generates an error code, you cannot simply remove this error from the display, even after repairing the washing machine.
You must first fix the problem, then, following 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 can be used. We will tell you how to perform such a reset in this article.
Reset on Bosch Classixx series washing machines
Let's start with Bosch Classixx washing machines. The reset scheme that we will now describe is correct for the Bosch Classixx 5, Classixx 4, Classixx 3 models. So, in order to reset an error that you are already tired of, you need to perform a number of simple steps:
- Press the “on/start” button and hold it pressed.
- Turn the selector from the “off” position two positions to the left (two clicks). We continue to hold the “on/start” button.
- We wait 2 seconds and release the “power/start” button.
- The display should show the duration of the washing program on which the selector is currently set. On machines without a display, all indicators should blink.
The Classixx series washing machines are quite capricious. The error may be cleared the first time, but it may not be possible even the 4th time. Repeat the above steps many times until the reset finally works.
Reset on Bosch Maxx 5 series
For Bosch Maxx 5 washing machines, error reset is carried out in a completely different way. These machines are divided into two main groups: with and without displays.For both, the error code is reset in the same way. So, set the program switch switch to the “off” position.
All manipulations must be performed when the machine is turned on and the error code is triggered. The activation of an error code on a machine without a display is indicated by rapidly flashing indicators.
Next, set the selector to the “spin” position. If in the “off” position it was at 12 o’clock, now we set it to 6 o’clock. Now press the “drum revolutions” button and hold it. We continue to hold the “drum revolutions” button, and move the selector to the “Drain” position (7 o’clock). Next, count down 3 seconds and release the “drum revolutions” button. Immediately turn the selector to the “Super fast 15” position (at 4 o’clock). We wait 2 seconds, then turn the program selector counterclockwise to the “off” position.
After this, the error should be reset. If the error goes away, you will see this as the washing programs will be activated sequentially, and Bosch washing machine will run any wash cycle without any problems. If the reset does not occur, you need to repeat the sequence of actions until it succeeds.
Reset for Logixx 8 series machines
An equally mysterious error reset scheme for the Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine. To be honest, it’s not clear what the developers were thinking when they put such a strange algorithm into the program. Why did they need this? Let's forward this question to the German developers, and we'll move on to a description of resetting the error code on the Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine. So, we proceed as follows.
- We turn on the machine.
- Move the program selection knob to the “Spin” position.
- We wait about two seconds until a characteristic squeak is heard and an error flashes on the display.
- We find a button near the display with an arrow to the left, hold it and count down 4 seconds.
- Next, quickly turn the program selection knob to the left by 1 division (to the drain position).
- Next, release the “Arrow” button and move the program selector to the “off” position.
After you have completed all of the above, the error will be reset and after turning on the washing machine again, you can start washing. Please note that the error will definitely return if you simply reset it without eliminating the cause of its occurrence. Such a reset should be done only after a quality repair, otherwise a serious system failure may occur, which will add to the problems.

Thank you! It helped to reset the Bosch Sportline 8 error. The drum was blocked and the machine was stuck in the “no” state. After the reset, the door unlocked. But the drum of the machine does not rotate and repeated reset only leads to the supply of water, but not to the rotation of the engine.
Problem with bearings or motor. Call a specialist.
Bosch WLF 16170 CE classixx 5 without display. The rinse indicator flashes and does not respond to anything. The indicated option did not help, it saved: selector to “0”, press “Start”, selector counterclockwise for 1 click without releasing “Start”, after 2 seconds release “Start”. All indicators will flash and the reset has been completed.
Thanks a lot! Hooray! Happened!
Thank you dear!
Bosch maxx 5. When washing (for example, fast), after the start, the time on the display increases. When it reaches 24, it stops. I manually put it on rinse and it rinses normally. What's wrong with her? Errors do not appear on the display.
I have a Bosch Avantix 7 Vario Perfect washing machine. We came home with water on the floor and a sink full of water. The door was blocked, I made a drain from the hose below - the door was unblocked. Then I tried to turn on the machine, all the programs went wrong, for example, the spin cycle was 22 minutes, but became 19 minutes, other programs also went wrong + - a difference of 5 minutes. The machine does not allow itself to start, the power flashes and the iron is activated. After the past 2 hours - I’m trying to turn it on again, now the machine has started flashing on the display, switching programs - it wants to return to the normal position for washing at 2 hours 45 minutes. And then it resets to 2 hours 44 minutes and kept blinking back and forth on the display. What should I do, please tell me?
Bosch Maxx5 SpeedPrefect machine. The door lock does not work and displays the Yes system error. Help me resolve the error.
I have 3d washing series6. I accidentally stood there with my robe on and the display shows blocked. I looked online and pulled something from below and opened the door. But the blocker remains there, does not turn off, I tried to reset it, but it didn’t work. What to do? Please tell me.
