Error codes for the Bosch dryer
The appearance of a code on the display indicates a malfunction in the system. Sometimes this can be due to a malfunction in the electronics. To exclude this option, do this:
- Unplug the machine for several minutes from the mains.
- Start work and look at the display. If the error is highlighted again, then the equipment cannot be operated, the problem must be fixed.
Error code | Value | DIY solutions |
F06 | Heating system malfunction. | Perform a complete system diagnosis. Replace faulty components. |
F08 | One of the sensors on the machine broke. | Inspect the sensors, their wiring, and contacts. Install serviceable parts. |
F09 | Drying does not work. | What could have happened:
|
F10 | The program crashed. | Repair is best entrusted to a specialist. He will check the control board, rewrite the memory if necessary. |
F11, F12, F13 | All of these codes indicate problems with the electronics. |
|
F14 | The evaporation level controller is out of order. | Contact a service center to resolve the problem. |
In addition to error codes, various malfunctions occur in Bosch Maxx 8 machines and other models. Identify them simply by external signs.
The dryer does not work. Yesterday, the equipment regularly dried clothes, but today it does not start? There are several causes for the problem:
- Problems with the temperature sensor. The contacts may have slipped or the part is defective.
- Defective temperature controller.
- The engine is out of order. Power surges lead to engine combustion.
- Fuse or launcher breakdown.
If parts and assemblies cannot be repaired, they must be replaced. There are additional causes for the problem:
- The terminals are oxidized. Under the influence of hot steam and moisture, condensation settles on the terminals, which leads to oxidation. Try to clean and wipe them.
- The capacitor is full. Pile dust settles on the condenser and interferes with the normal waste 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 locked not only mechanically, but also on an electronic level. If you do not hear a click when closing, press the door tightly.
Make sure that the machine is powered on. Inspect the wiring, socket, and plug.
In addition, you can connect another device to the outlet to make sure that it is working. Check the set mode, whether the “Delay start” is on. In this case, turn off the mode.
The drum does not rotate. The technique turns on, the program starts, but the drum does not work. What happened:
- The axis on which the drum is mounted is worn.
- The capacitor of the electric motor is out of order.
- The belt has flown or worn out.
- Engine burned out.
- Worn bearings.
Worn parts require replacement. To avoid such problems, experts recommend:
- Do not overload the drum. Only load as much laundry as specified in the instructions. Consider that wet things have 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. An imbalance can cause the belt to break. If he jumped off, then it is enough to return him to his place. A break needs a replacement.
- Install a voltage regulator. Surge in the network leads to breakdowns of electronics, motor, circuit board.
During operation of the dryer knocks plugs. Why is this happening:
- The contacts of the main board are oxidized.
- There are problems with the plug or socket.
- Heater closed when water gets into it.
- Closed the motor winding.
- The line filter is out of order.
- A software failure has occurred.
If one of the breakdowns is detected, repair. In order to protect the equipment from a malfunction, set the power of the machine. Based on the indicators, buy fuses for 20% more power consumption.
