2 washing machines with an interval of 3 years went into the trash. Top loading Bosh WOT 20352OE. The plastic tank, which can be pierced with a finger, in both cases was “sawed through” with a 10-kopeck coin, water leaked onto the motor, shorted, and the electronics burned out. The master said that it was cheaper to buy a new one! I repeat, TWO washing machines of the same brand with an interval of a couple of years! Sorry, but I think that such quality is “below the plinth” and for 6 years now I’ve been using a one and a half times cheaper Whirlpool AWE 7527/1 machine and am VERY pleased! Now I won’t buy a Bosch even at gunpoint!
Before washing, pockets should be checked for any debris, including coins. It’s unlikely that this was the cause of the breakdown, I’m afraid you’re being disingenuous...
Worst quality manufacturer with cheap spare parts, in a word, made in Russia, cheap spare parts, high price, people will buy it anyway.
