The self-diagnosis system that Bosch washing machines are equipped with helps determine the cause of the malfunction as accurately as possible, without disassembling the household appliance.
The washing machine signals what exactly caused the breakdown with a specific code or blinking indicators.
But even if the malfunction is eliminated, you should always remember that information about it is stored in the washer’s memory, periodically displaying an error code on the display or signaling it with indicator lights.
Information on how to correctly reset an error on a Bosch washing machine will help you quickly resume normal operation of your household appliance.
How to reset the program on a Bosch washing machine?
An individual zeroing algorithm has been developed for each Bosch washing machine model.
Classixx
In order to reset the program in the Bosch Classic washing machine, you need to:
press the “Start” button;- turn the program selector knob to the “Off” position (orienting clockwise - 12 o’clock);
- Without releasing the “Start” button, switch the selector to the left side by two points - at this moment the loading hatch door will be locked, and information about the selected program will appear on the information board.
In a situation where there is no display on the control panel, the error reset is indicated by blinking LEDs.
Maxx 5
To quickly reset an error on a Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine, you need to perform several steps:
- Check whether the loading hatch door is closed (if not, then slam it until it clicks).
- Switch the programmer to the “Off” position.
- Press and hold the key with the image of a twisted spiral with your finger (selecting the speed of rotation), at the same time switch the programmer knob to the “Drain” position.
- Wait five seconds, then release the “revolution” key.
- Switch the programmer to super-fast wash (duration 15 minutes).
- After two seconds, turn the selector knob to the “Off” position.
Confirmation of resetting the error code will be the program time displayed on the control panel display, otherwise the algorithm will have to be repeated. The selector knob can only be turned counterclockwise!
Logixx 8
reset the error signal on the Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine as quickly as possible if you use the following tips:
- turn the program selector to the “Spin” mode;
- wait for the sound signal, then press the “Functions” button (located in the upper left corner of the display) for four seconds;
- Without releasing the “Functions” button, set the program selector knob to the “Drain” mode;
- release the button, turn the selector to “Off” mode.
If the Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine does not have a “Functions” button on the control panel, use the speed selection button when resetting the error code.
Serie 6
By strictly adhering to the algorithm of actions , you can quickly reset the error on the Bosch Serie 6 washing machine:
Make sure that the programmer is set to the “Off” position.- Press the “Start” button and at the same time turn the selector knob one notch counterclockwise (at this moment the washing machine enters the service menu and locks the hatch door).
- Release the “Start” button and turn the selector knob to the “Off” position.
To check whether the error has been reset, you need to start a new washing program.
Instructions for resetting washing machine errors
Absolutely every modern washing machine is capable of signaling problems using an error code.
If the device is equipped with a mechanical control board, a malfunction can be identified by the blinking indicators. The error is displayed on the electronic display in the form of Latin letters and numbers.
To reset errors, you must fix the problem and, if necessary, perform a series of actions.
Error codes
How to clear a fault code
If it becomes necessary to reset washing machine errors, the situation is often corrected automatically after the problem is fixed. Some models (Samsung, Hotpoint Ariston, Siemens) can be started successfully after fixing the problem and turning it on again. In other cases, you will need to reset the errors.
The following methods will help you get the machine into working order:
- Press and hold the Start/Pause button. Be sure to wait for the sound signal or blinking indicators. Before performing such actions, you should understand the reason why the breakdown occurred, for example, Bosch, Samsung, LG, Hotpoint Ariston, Siemens machines.
- Resetting error codes by configuring the electronic module. This method is appropriate when the first method turned out to be ineffective. Please note that each washing machine has its own test mode, which is described in the instructions. By adhering to certain recommendations, in most cases it is possible to get the device working properly.

Elimination of error E00 for Bosch models
Users of a Bosch washing machine sometimes encounter a situation where the machine displays error E00, but there is no such code in the table. According to experts, E00 does not indicate a problem, but a successful outcome of testing. How to reset the so-called error if there is no need for repairs?
- First, turn off the power to the unit.
- After switching on, you need to wait for code E00 to appear.
- The knob with which you can select programs is set to rinsing.
- Two actions are performed simultaneously - the handle is put on spin and the revolution button is pressed.
- The display should show 3 eights.
- Next, turn the knob to the program for washing jeans.
- After a few seconds, the device turns off by turning the knob to position 0.
Bosch
Correct actions will result in the Bosch washing machine error being reset. If, after turning on again, the unit refuses to work, and E00 does not disappear, most likely, the electronic module of the machine will need to be repaired.
Setting up Bosch Maxx 5 and Classixx 5
It is important to remember that before resetting an error on a Bosch washing machine, you need to understand the cause of what is happening. This also applies to equipment from other companies.
Bosch Maxx 5
To reset errors on the Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine, the following steps are provided:
- The hatch closes.
- The program selector is set to position 0.
- The knob is rotated 180 degrees until the display shows an error.
- The spin speed button is pressed and held, and the Bosch regulator switches to one section.
- After 5 seconds, the speed button is released and the program selector is returned to its original position.
Sometimes, in order to reset Bosch maxx 5 machine errors, the procedure has to be performed repeatedly. If the reason that caused the errors has been eliminated, after resetting the Bosch washing machine will work normally.
Bosch Maxx 7
How to reset the fault code on a Bosch Classixx 5 washing machine if one indicator is on, indicating an error in the hatch lock?
When the Bosch Classixx 5 indicates problems with the lock, but there are no other faults, you must:

Why do you need to reset correctly?
Those who believe that they can quickly reset the program by disconnecting the household appliance from the electricity network are mistaken. You can't do that!
Firstly, with such actions it is simply impossible to achieve the desired result of complete zeroing. With the supply of electricity, the washing machine will restart the previously set settings.
The second, very important, key point is that a sudden disconnection from the electricity network is fraught with failure of the control board, the repair of which will require a lot of time and money.
What to do with a frozen device?
A sudden stop of the washing machine is not always associated with serious malfunctions of the internal components . Before calling a technician to your home, you must try to resuscitate your frozen washing machine yourself.
First of all, check the specified washing program. Often, the lack of draining or spinning is due to the fact that a manual or delicate wash program is running.
To “revive” the washing machine, it is enough to carry out a series of sequential actions:
- press the “Start/Pause” button;
- switch the program selector knob to the desired position;
- continue washing.
The second point is overload. It is failure to comply with the norms for loading dirty laundry into the drum that often leads to the washing machine “freezing”, indicating a problem with an error code or blinking LEDs.
To solve the problem, first of all, you need to drain the water . To do this, a hatch is found in the lower part of the body, behind which an emergency drain hose is hidden. By unscrewing the tip of the hose, the water is poured into a basin or any other container.
After five seconds, the door lock is released. All that remains to be done is to open the hatch and take out unnecessary things.
Let's decipher the code
As already mentioned, the E00 code does not indicate an error, but a positive result that the washing machine gives as a result of service testing. In other words, the Bosch washing machine tells us that the service test has been passed and there are no errors.
This seems to be good news for the user. If there are no errors, it means the washing machine is working properly, but a person cannot use it for its intended purpose. E00 is still lit on the display, and the machine refuses to wash even after several reboots (de-energizing and turning on again). It turns out to be an absurd situation. On the one hand, the washing machine reports that there are no faults, on the other hand, it still refuses to work - a logical dead end? Not really. You can try to reset the error.
Is it possible to reset the error?
In a normal situation, code E00 on a Bosch washing machine may appear only after certain manipulations by the user. Namely: putting the Bosch machine into service testing mode and starting this mode. If the washing machine has no faults, code E00 will appear. But it happens that you did nothing, and suddenly, after the next turn on, the machine issues this code. There are several reasons:
- after a short circuit, a short-term failure occurred in the control module, which accidentally activated the service test mode;
- after the same short circuit, some semiconductor elements were damaged, as a result of which the machine entered the service testing mode and is not brought out of there in the standard way;
- A small child did the work, turned the knob on the control panel, pressed buttons and put the washing machine into service mode.
The first and last options from the above list are the most common, so we’ll try to get the washing machine out of service mode with our own hands, and if that doesn’t help, we’ll think about it. Let's perform the following manipulations.
- Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply.
- We turn on the machine and wait for error E00 to appear.
- We set the wash program selection knob to rinse (it is located at the very bottom).
- We turn the knob to the spin position (at 7 o’clock, as experts say), at the same time with the other hand we press the button, which is indicated by a spiral pattern - “spin revolutions”.
- We wait until the image of three eights appears on the display.
- Again, turn the knob two sections to the right (jeans program) so that the pointer is at the “5 o’clock” position.
- Next, wait a few seconds and turn the knob clockwise to the “off” position.
If you did everything correctly, then turning on the Bosch washing machine again will make you happy, since the annoying E00 code will disappear and the “home assistant” will work as if nothing had happened. If you are sure that you did everything right, but E00 still hangs, most likely this is a serious malfunction, and it occurred in the electronic module of the Bosch washing machine.
Electronic module repair
So, it was not possible to clear the E00 code on the Bosch washing machine using the standard method, which means that the control module is 99.9% damaged. Moreover, it is impossible to find out in advance what has broken in the electronic module, which semiconductor elements have burned out, without removing the board and diagnosing it in detail. Is it worth doing repairs to electronic modules yourself? The question is rhetorical, unless, of course, you are an experienced electronics engineer and you have to deal with printed circuit boards every day.
If, for example, we are talking about repairing a UBL or a pump yourself, then we are both in favor, because even if you break one of these, it is not difficult to buy a replacement, because these are common and cheap parts. As for electronic modules, you can really go broke.
In particular, the original electronic module for a Bosch Maxx 4 washing machine costs about $460. With this money you can easily buy a new washing machine. Ask yourself a question: would you, being an amateur, pick at a part, risking “getting caught” for such an amount, and if you are a reasonable person, the answer is obvious to you. Better direct your energy in a more constructive direction. Find a good technician who will inspect and repair the broken electronic module.
To summarize, we note that code E00, it turns out, does not inform the user of any error, but on the contrary, it says that the machine is fully operational. Another question is why the car itself entered service testing mode and decided to check the system for malfunctions? This question can only be answered by studying the situation on the spot. Perhaps this will not be done by you, but by a professional master. Good luck!
Adviсe
If a software failure occurs (the washing machine does not respond to pressing buttons or turning the selector knob), a qualified specialist will help restore the operation of the household appliance.
It is not recommended to adjust the factory settings of an automatic washing machine on your own, without the appropriate knowledge and experience .
If attempts to independently resuscitate a frozen washing machine are unsuccessful, most likely the problem is associated with more serious breakdowns, which can only be eliminated after more detailed diagnostics.
