Review of Bosch washing machine programs: time, temperature, spin speed

Bosch washing machines are designed in such a way that the user only needs to press one button to select the optimal washing mode.

Each program contains a set of settings that allows you to solve different problems.

How to choose the right program for a Bosch washing machine and improve the quality of washing will be discussed below.

How to use a Bosch washing machine?

1. Control panel and mode selection
2. First start
3. Selection and use of funds
4. Rules of care
5. Troubleshooting

Bosch washing machines are very popular. This is not surprising when you consider all their many advantages. However, the units should only be used after reading the operating instructions. This is partly due to the fact that many models from this company use icons to indicate modes. Thus, choosing the required mode is somewhat difficult.

Features of choosing detergents

There are certain recommendations for choosing synthetic detergents for the first wash cycle. Of course, you can also use regular powder, which is marked accordingly on the package. The presence of the inscription “automatic” will make it clear that the choice was made correctly. However, there are also specialized compounds aimed specifically at removing technical contaminants. They eliminate the smell of machine oil and other lubricants and thoroughly wash away fatty components from equipment parts.

Among the most well-known compositions is Helfer Start, suitable not only for the first start-up, but also for regular maintenance of the internal parts of the unit. The surfactants used in the product have an intense degreasing and cleaning effect and break down lime deposits that arise during equipment operation.

It is important to remember that the dosage of powder for the first wash should be significantly less than with a standard load of equipment. Most manufacturers recommend taking 10% of the usual SMS volume. It is worth adding that in this case the amount of powder set to remove heavy contaminants is used as a reference measure.

If you don’t want to carefully calculate the volume of SMS messages, you can use tablets. They are produced by the Oro company, there are 2 components in the package. The first tablet is Clean, designed to combat factory pollution. After 30 washing cycles, descaling is carried out with the second pill from the Calc package.

Distinctive features of Bosch washing machines are:

• long service life;
• ease of operation;
• water and electricity are used sparingly;
• large selection of washing modes;
• gentle washing of clothes made from delicate fabrics;
• unique additional features;
• wide hatch for loading laundry.

Error codes

It’s good when the washing machine works for many years without failure. But technology is technology; not a single device is insured against breakdowns. How can you understand what exactly happened to your assistant? In this case, the manufacturer has provided a system of error codes.

So, E00 means that the car is in test mode (this is not considered an error), E02 - problems with the electric motor (sometimes it helps to unplug it for 20 minutes), E3 - problems with the hatch lock, F04 - a leak is detected, E5 - slow filling , E6 - during filling, the machine receives an “empty tank” signal (the filter may be clogged, the Aquastop system has worked, the water level sensor has broken, or there has been a failure in the control module).

Error E13 appears when draining takes too long (probably the drain hose filter is clogged or the pump is broken), F16/F34/F61 - when the hatch door is not blocked (this can happen either due to clothes getting caught in the gap or due to lock malfunction), F17/E17 - when the water supply time is exceeded, F23/E23 - when the Aquastop system is activated, F18/E18 - when the machine does not drain the water (the drain hose may be connected incorrectly).

The appearance of error F21/F43 indicates that the drum for some reason cannot begin to rotate, F29 - that water is not filling and, accordingly, does not pass through the sensor, E32 - that an imbalance has occurred during the distribution of laundry, E58 - that there is a phase current engine exceeds the threshold value, F63 - that the functional protection has tripped.

Also, a similar system is available for cars that do not have a display. There, errors are indicated by specific blinking indicators. So, for example, the light bulb above the “1” button corresponds to error code D01 and indicates an error in the water level sensor, and if all three indicators above the “1”, “2” and “3” buttons are lit, then this is code D07, which means that the hatch lock has failed.

Some malfunctions can be fixed on your own - usually such cases are described in the instructions with specific instructions on exactly how you should proceed (sometimes it is enough to simply restart the machine - unplug it and turn it on after a while). Others require the mandatory intervention of a qualified craftsman. In any case, when contacting the service center, state the error code, and a specialist will tell you how best to proceed.

Safety precautions

To ensure safe operation of washing equipment, you must carefully read the instructions. For it, you should determine a place in the house where it can be immediately found if necessary.

When operating the machine, the following safety rules must be observed:

1. The device can only be used at home for washing textiles. The machine must be connected to cold water;
2. Keep pets and small children away from the equipment;
3. Do not touch the glass of the machine door while it is in operation. The glass can be very hot.
4. Turn the machine on and off only with dry hands;
5. Cut off the power cord and break the hatch door lock when disposing of the unit. This is necessary so that small children do not lock themselves in the car if they play with it.
6. When connecting and installing the device, follow all rules. This will avoid electric shock, water leakage, fire and other accidents.

Sorting clothes

Before loading into the drum, laundry must be sorted, taking into account the information on the tags, according to the following characteristics:

• color;

• composition of the material;

• degree of contamination.

The washing program also matters: bed linen and towels require high temperatures, which will not suit many items of clothing, even if they are the same color. It is better to wash lace underwear and other delicate items in special mesh bags.

I work in the household appliance repair industry. Extensive experience in restoring washing machines and dishwashers.

Pre-soak heavily soiled clothing and wash away stains. Before loading items into the drum, be sure to empty all pockets. To simplify the process of sorting before washing, a basket for dirty laundry with several compartments will help.

Dimensions and equipment

As for the dimensions, the Bosch wmv 1600 is a compact device, the depth of which is only 34 cm with a height and width of 85 and 60 cm, respectively. That is, you can install such equipment in any niche, in any corner - it will not take up much space and will not require reorganization of the space. And the design will fit perfectly into any interior - the classic design greatly contributes to this.

But the weight is 75 kg, which is a lot compared to analogues of similar units from other manufacturers. But it is due to the fact that she did not skimp on components and the assembly uses not a cheap plastic tank, which can quickly become unusable, but a reliable stainless steel drum.

Important! To ensure that the equipment works properly for a long time, without electronic failures or clogging of important technical elements, be sure to read our articles:

• Filters for water purification in the apartment.
• Sockets in the bathroom.

Connecting with communications

The next step will be connecting the equipment to the water supply and sewerage system. If the washing machine is placed in its old place, then all the connections are already organized - the pipes have a drain point and a branch with a tap for water to enter the machine. There is also a socket for the machine's power cord.

If you don’t have any of this, you’ll have to organize a “home assistant” workplace from scratch. A separate outlet for the washing machine should be provided. It is also advisable to equip the point with a residual current device and an automatic circuit breaker. This will protect the machine from power surges.

Next, you need to connect the washing machine to the sewer. Draining can be done in a simple way, for example, by running the pipe into a bathtub or sink. The machine comes with a plastic hook that fits onto the end of the drainage hose and hangs on the edge of the plumbing fixture. This method will take a minimum of time, but is not considered reliable. Firstly, the structure can break and “flood” everything around it. Secondly, this drainage option is unhygienic, since waste water will constantly flow through the bathtub or washbasin.

It is advisable to discharge the waste directly into the sewer. To do this, it is recommended to purchase a special siphon.

Finally, all that remains is to connect the washing machine to the water supply. Here it is necessary to make an insert into the pipe and organize a special branch. A shut-off valve is installed, with which, if necessary, it will be possible to shut off the water supply to the machine. Now that both the drain and inlet hoses are in place, you can start the wash.

Article on the topic: Which brand is better to choose a washing machine

The control unit on the Bosch washing machine is very laconic and not overloaded. Most modes are indicated by some kind of symbol. These symbols are informative enough for the user to understand. But it’s better to act for sure and find out the meaning of the icons in advance, so as not to spoil the thing by choosing the wrong mode.

By selecting a mode on the control panel, you can also set the temperature, spin speed and additional functions for it. The table below shows the names and descriptions of the main icons. They are almost the same for all SM models: Bosch Maxx 5, Bosch Classixx 5, Bosch Maxx 4, Bosch WMV 1600 and others.

*The table gives approximate time frames; you can find the exact time in the instructions for your model. In modern machines, the program duration is displayed on the display.

Users often ask us: “What programs can you use to add more laundry, and how to do it?”

Let's start with the fact that not every model has the ability to reload laundry. There are two types of washing machines that allow you to add more laundry without draining the water from the tank:

1. Vertical washing machines
   - their design allows you to stop the wash without draining the water and add more laundry or remove excess items if the drum is unbalanced and the items are bunched up.
2. A separate generation of washing machines with the ability to reload. You can add more laundry through a special mini hatch located on the main hatch. The program is not interrupted - after additional loading or unloading of unnecessary things, the mode starts from the same place where you stopped it. You can use the reloading function in such machines on any washing program. But not all manufacturers currently provide such hatches, and Bosch does not yet produce such models. If you need a washer with reloading, pay attention to the offers from Samsung.

Note! Through the small reloading hatch you will only add small items.

How to load more laundry in a regular Bosch front-facing storage unit?

This cannot be done without draining the water. Therefore, it is worth stopping the program if you have forgotten something important in the drum, and it is not economically profitable to reload the laundry - it will be easier to wash the forgotten item separately and in the next batch than to drain the water, reload the item and start the program again. But, this is your decision, so here are the instructions:

1. Stop the program by pressing the STOP button. The machine will drain the water forcibly.
2. Add things or take out extra ones.
3. Select and start the wash cycle again.

How to choose a washing mode on a Bosch machine

By determining the meaning of the symbols on the panel, you will remember how to install and configure a particular mode. By turning the selector, you can choose any of the programs that suit the type of laundry you have.

The process time depends on the selected mode; also keep in mind that additional rinsing or spinning will extend the operating time of the washing machine.

Before installing the Bosch washing machine, you must make sure that there are no defects on it. The surface on which it will be located must be hard, smooth and even, preferably tile or concrete, and not linoleum, laminate, carpet and others. To reduce vibration, you can use special mats.

Before installation, it is necessary to remove the transportation bolts from the rear wall of the machine and plug the holes. After placing the Bosch washing machine in place, remove the inlet and drain hoses from the mounts. Using a building level, level the washing machine (deviation of no more than 2 degrees is allowed). The drain hose is connected to the sewer pipe, the fill hose to the water pipe through a tee tap. Before you start using a Bosch washing machine, it is recommended to carry out the first run without laundry with a small amount of powder, in the cotton washing mode at 60°C.

Installation of the device

Before operating the washing equipment, it is necessary to remove the transport fasteners. They may be needed in the future when transporting the device, so they should be saved.

Four bolts are located at the rear of the machine. Unscrew them using the SW 13 key. You need to insert plugs into the bolt holes.

The installation location of the device plays a very important role. The stability of the machine will depend on it. Washing equipment should be placed on a smooth and hard surface. There should be no carpet or other soft coverings on it. It is advisable to install the device on a tiled or concrete floor.

If installation will be carried out on a plank floor or plinth, then the surface must be prepared in advance. In this case, a water-repellent wooden board with a thickness of 30 millimeters is screwed to the floor. And the legs of the washing machine need to be secured with special retaining tongues WMZ 2200.

Bosch Maxx 4 can be placed under a solid countertop. In this case, instead of a plastic top cover, a cover made of sheet metal is installed.

The inlet hose is connected only to a cold water supply.

Equipment care

When cleaning your washing machine, the first thing you need to do is disconnect it from the power supply to avoid getting an electric shock. The outside of the device should be wiped with a mild soap solution. There is no need to use solvents and all kinds of cleaning products. The washed machine should be thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth.

It is recommended to wipe the drum with a dry cloth after each wash. It is also important to wipe the rubber cuff. Then an unpleasant odor and mold will not appear in the washing machine.

To remove limescale and scale from equipment, special products should be used. Such products must be used with caution, as they contain acids.

The detergent container should be cleaned and rinsed after every 3-4 washes. It is also necessary to periodically clean the fill and drain filters. But you don't have to do this too often. The drain filter is located in the lower corner of the device. And the inlet filter is located at the connection point between the inlet hose and the body of the machine.

Starting the wash

A test “empty” first wash is needed for all automatic models, regardless of the manufacturer. In this case, the process occurs almost the same. The only difference concerns the startup procedure itself, because the operating mode activation system is configured differently.

In such a situation, the instructions will come to the rescue, in which this procedure is also described in detail, but adjusted for the individual characteristics of the purchased unit. It also contains step-by-step recommendations on how to turn on the washing machine.

Sequencing:

1. Close the door. There are models with frontal and vertical loading of laundry. The latter are most often produced by such well-known manufacturers as Bosch, Candy, Indesit, Samsung and Zanussi. And if with horizontal loading it is enough to close the door until it clicks, then with the top one they first “fasten” the drum, and then slam the hatch itself.
2. Add powder intended for automatic washing. You cannot use another one, since manual cleaning products are characterized by excessive foaming and can lead to damage to the unit.
3. The washing machine will not start for the first time without being connected to the power supply. Just plug the plug into the socket.
4. You must select the shortest program. Usually the process in this mode takes no more than 20-30 minutes.
5. After the machine is finished operating, the loading hatch cover must be kept slightly open at all times for ventilation.

After turning on the Bosch washing machine, you need to load laundry into it and carefully close the door, then select the desired program using the selector. If necessary, it can be adjusted by decreasing or increasing the spin speed, adjusting the water temperature, etc.

It is prohibited to use hand washing products in a Bosch washing machine; they are characterized by increased foaming, which can lead to equipment breakdown. It is also necessary to use each of the powder compartments for its intended purpose. In the Bosch maxx 4 model there are three of them: the left one is for washing powder and bleach, the right one is used for soaking, and the middle one needs to be filled with fabric softener.

To start washing, you need to press the “start” button. If the wrong mode is used, it can be changed right in the process by pressing the “start” button and switching the lever to the desired position. After starting, the machine will switch to the required program.

Useful tips

The conventional images used in Bosch devices are in many ways similar to the images printed on clothing labels. This makes choosing the appropriate mode easier. Selection tips:

• Be sure to study the label attached to the clothing - decipher the icons depicted on it.
• Find out exactly what effect a particular option will have on a particular item before you install it.
• Do not load white and colored items into the drum at the same time.
• For expensive delicate items, it is better to choose hand washing.
• Try to wash things in special bags. This applies, first of all, to shoes, linen and products with accessories.

Knowing what the pictures on the control panel mean, you can quickly and accurately select the optimal washing programs. Knowledge of modes and programs will help you simultaneously save resources and wash things efficiently, preserving their integrity and attractiveness.

Why are icons needed?

If you write all the options in words on the control panel, it will be completely covered with inscriptions - this is inconvenient to read and complicates the search for the desired mode. So that the user can quickly find the desired function, associative pictures are used that make them think about a specific process. The pictures are easy to remember, the main thing is that once you find out what they mean, it will be easy for your memory to choose the right option.

The manufacturer used intuitive drawings to indicate options. For example, a butterfly. Most people associate it with tenderness and lightness. It is not difficult to guess that we are talking about a delicate washing mode. Users with insufficiently developed associative thinking may have difficulty deciphering pictures on their own - the instructions will help them. Advantages of drawings over inscriptions:

One small picture can contain the amount of information presented in 2-3 sentences.
