In this article, we will look at what error F63 means, which is generated by the Bosch machine, what to do and how to fix the failure on our own.
Many modern Bosch washing machines (Maxx and Logixx series can also be included) have a function that shows error codes on the display if there are failures and malfunctions during washing.
Often, understanding what the error means allows the user to solve the problem on their own.
Decoding and signs
Error code 63 lights up on the electronic display if the functional protection is triggered. This means that one of two possible problems has arisen:
- The processor is broken.
- A software error has occurred.
If you see code F63, then to confirm the breakdown, pay attention to external signs:
- SMA corotitis.
- Does not turn on.
Self troubleshooting
If you are interested in knowing how to fix the situation when F 63 is on, proceed as follows:
- Unplug the machine from the mains for 15 or 20 minutes.
- During the specified time, the electronic module should reboot.
- Turn on the machine: if the screen does not show an error, everything is fine.
- If the display shows F63 again, then drastic measures are needed.
Machine repair with error F63
Usually, the masters fix the problem by carrying out one of three possible repair operations for this case:
- Repair the processor SM.
- Repair the control board if the processor is working.
- Change the control unit.
It is not recommended to independently check and repair the processor and the board – a professional should work with such complex equipment. If the board burns out during an unsuccessful repair, the repair will cost you exorbitant prices.
Additional signs
Often, fault codes, including F63, are accompanied by other malfunctions in the washer. There can be a whole lot of them, as they say – trouble does not come alone.
The most common symptom is that the car knocks out the machine or traffic jams. This can also happen for a number of other reasons – due to a breakdown of the heating element, the engine or the “START” button, but sometimes also due to a board failure.
If F 63 is on, and the Bosch machine knocks out traffic jams, then with high confidence we can say that the functional protection worked precisely when the electronic module failed.
Reasons for failure
Due to high humidity, contacts could oxidize, and this causes a short circuit: as a result, CMA can knock out an automatic machine or plugs. Depending on the degree of damage, we can talk about repairing or replacing the board.
If it was not possible to remove the error by turning off and on the washer, and the machine still knocks out traffic jams, then resetting errors is not possible. Repair required.
The maximum that an ordinary user can do if he wants to fix the SM on his own is to ring all the elements of the board with a tester. But this is a long and tedious task. Moreover, the situation can be aggravated.
Therefore, if an error occurs that indicates a breakdown of the module, it is better to contact the repair service.
