Marj Bullivantasked
I purchased this model at the end of 2014. I initially did not have problems but at one stage, cannot recall date (a few years ago) and documents filed away, I had to have warranty service done on it. It has progressively been getting more noisy, and I have not been as happy with the results. There are only two of us so workload for the machine is not excessive. In recent months, the noise is getting worse especially on the spin. On top of the normal warranty, I took out a 48 months extended warranty. Is my machine going to crash and die? Is my warranty still current as the receipts do not show full details of the normal warranty on purchase plus the extended warranty.
I have only had three washing machines since the 1970s, and the first two were brilliant. I am concerned that this machine is not even going to make six years.
Please advise of the warranty status and possible problems about to overcome my machine.

Hi Ivy,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAW28460AU.
If you press the speed perfect button (bottom left of the display) this will get the cycle completed as soon as possible but will use more energy and water. See page 14 of your user manual to see what other cycles can use this option.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

When using the speed perfect button the weight suggests 5 kg. weight
Emma Lasked
I have a baby and use separate sensitive washing detergent for her clothes
How can I stop the IDOS with regular detergent for my clothes and use the sensitive detergent for her clothes
Can you switch between 2 detergents?
4 answers
Hi Emma, I switch between Omo Sensitive and Softly for woollens and delicates. I have never had a problem.
Hi Emma, I also switch between a sensitive powder for my baby who has bad exczema and allergies, and normal powder for the rest of the washing, and haven't had any issues or reactions.
I was wondering how you do this is your IDOS is full of regular detergent? How do you make the load switch to a sensitive detergent? Do you have to empty the tray? Or can you fill the drawer and it will switch?
Victor C.asked
Hi
I have a Bosch iDOS washing machine with the code WAW286M9SN/01 reference number on the door. The issue is that the detergent dispenser is not dispensing on any program but the softener dispenser is working fine basically it's producing unwashed scented softened washing. Is there a replacement dispenser pump or method to to repair it as I've taken the cover off and cleaned both but still no dispensing of detergent?

Darryl S.asked
The instruction manual of WAW28460AU suggests turning off the tap after each use? Is this required? The machine has aqua secure? what does that do?
3 answers
I don’t turn off the tap after each wash. Works well for me
I always do this with any washing machine that I have. It is good practice as it takes the pressure off the inlet pipe, so that if it bursts or a water connection fails, then the amount of water that can escape is greatly minimized.
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Darryl,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAW28460AU.
Turning off the tap is an extra safety measure. The Aqua secure is a device to assist with flooding but in the unlikely event it fails, turning off the tap will mitigate the risk.

Hi my Bosch is making a squeaking sound when draining, is there an easy fix to this ? Thank you

Hi Jane,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAW28460AU.
We would recommend checking the drain pump and the drain hose for obstructions. Even maybe where the drain hose connects to your drain pipe. If there is nothing there then a service call would be required to investigate further.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Thanks so much, I will check it !
I found a small key in the drain pump ! My money is on thy as causing the problem! Thanks for your help
Finn J.asked
The manual mentions pre-wash options, e.g. for the cotton programme, but when selecting this programme, the machine appears to take in both soap 1 and 2, and then goes straight to wash.
This model does not have a pre-wash button on the front plate. How do I activate pre-wash?
1 answer
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Finn,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAW28440AU.
The prewash option is not available for your model. Unfortunately the user manual does show information that is related to other models.

Chezaasked
Hi, I have Bosch Serie 8 with IDOS. On the 'Quilt' wash setting, the detergent and fabric softener settings are a little confusing, as it double-beeps when I try to select the detergent degree of soiling or the fabric softener level. Does this mean that it automatically adds detergent and fabric softener? Or does this mean I have to manually add washing detergent to the left-hand detergent / fabric softener drawer? Does it also mean that there is no way I can add fabric softener when washing my quilt on the quilt setting (i.e. if I add detergent to the left-hand compartment of the pull-out drawer, there is no other place to put the fabric softener separately, and I can't select the fabric softener setting as mentioned above)?
