Drying equipment makes life easier for many housewives, and especially for apartment residents. If you encounter problems with the device, do not rush to call the wizard. You can solve the problem yourself if you find out the cause of the breakdown. Bosch dryer errors will help with this.
Fault codes appear on the display, their decoding is indicated in the instructions. But if the manual is lost or you don’t understand the manufacturer’s recommendations, then our article will answer all your questions.
Bosch dryer error codes
The appearance of a code on the display indicates a breakdown in the system. Sometimes this can be the result of a malfunction in the electronics. To exclude this option, do this:
- Unplug the machine for a few minutes.
- Start the job and look at the display. If the error is displayed again, then it is impossible to operate the equipment, you need to fix the problem.
Error code | Value | Do-it-yourself solutions |
F06 | Heating system malfunction. | Run a complete system diagnostic. Replace defective units. |
F08 | One of the machine’s sensors is broken. | Inspect the sensors, their wiring and contacts. Install correct parts. |
F09 | Dryer not working. | What could have happened:
|
F10 | The program crashed. | It is better to entrust the repair to a specialist. He will check the control board, overwrite the memory if necessary. |
F11, F12, F13 | All of these codes indicate problems with the electronics. |
|
F14 | Evaporation level regulator is out of order. | Contact the service center to solve the problem. |
In addition to error codes, various malfunctions occur in Bosch Maxx 8 machines and other models. Identify them simply by external signs.
Dryer not working. Even yesterday, the equipment was regularly drying clothes, but today it does not start? There are several reasons for the failure:
- Problems with the temperature sensor. Perhaps the contacts have come off or the part is faulty.
- Temperature controller defective.
- The engine has failed. Voltage fluctuations in the network lead to the combustion of the engine.
- Broken fuse or launcher switch.
If parts and assemblies cannot be repaired, they must be replaced. There are additional reasons for the problem:
- The terminals are oxidized. Under the influence of hot steam and moisture, condensate settles on the terminals, which leads to oxidation. Try to clean and wipe them.
- The condenser has overflowed. Fluff dust settles on the condenser and prevents the normal removal of moisture and heat transfer, which consumes a large amount of electricity. Clean the container.
- The hatch door is not tightly closed. Before starting work, the hatch is blocked not only mechanically, but also electronically. If you don’t hear a click when closing, press the door tighter.
Make sure the machine is powered. Inspect the wiring, socket and plug.
Additionally, you can connect another device to the outlet to make sure it works. Check the set mode, if the “Delay start” is enabled. In this case, disable the mode.
The drum does not rotate. The equipment turns on, the program starts, but the drum does not work. What’s happened:
- The axle on which the drum is attached is worn out.
- The electric motor capacitor has failed.
- Broken or worn belt.
- The engine burned out.
- Bearings worn out.
Worn out components require replacement. To avoid such problems, experts recommend:
- Do not overload the drum. Load exactly as much laundry as indicated in the instructions. Keep in mind that wet clothes carry more weight. If the machine is not designed for the amount of load, the nodes fail. Bearings and belt wear out quickly.
- Distribute things evenly. Imbalance can cause the belt to break. If he jumped off, then it is enough to return him to his place. When broken, it needs to be replaced.
- Install a voltage stabilizer. Jumps in the network lead to breakdowns of electronics, motor, board.
During the operation of the dryer knocks out traffic jams. Why is this happening:
- The main board contacts are oxidized.
- There is a problem with the plug or outlet.
- Closed the heater due to water ingress.
- Motor winding shorted.
- The mains filter has failed.
- A software error has occurred.
If you find one of the breakdowns, repair it. In order to protect the equipment from a malfunction, set the power of the machine. Based on the indicators, buy fuses 20% more than the power consumption.
Before disassembling and repairing the device, read the instructions and advice manufacturer. The information in the article is advisory character, if you have not encountered the repair of household appliances, it is better to contact a specialist.
