Shirley Casked
Hi I have had my Bosch Series 8 for 2 months. I love the machine but I too have a problem with the fabric softener not being dispensed. Can I manually put fabric softener in the washing machine? I would also need to know when I would have to do this before the end of the cycle. Thanks Shirley
1 answer
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Shirley,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch WAW32640AU.
There is no recommendation to manually dose fabric softener. If the dosing system is not working correctly we would suggest a service call to rectify the issue.

Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch washing machine.
The only troubleshooting for that error is to make sure the detergent draw is completely inserted. If this is definitely done then a service call would be needed.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact customer support in your country. If you're in Australia you can call 1300 369 744 but it would not be covered by Bosch as that is not a model we imported into Australia. In this instance it would be recommended to contact the place of purchase to see what assistance could be supplied.

I'm 69 live on my own so only wash maybe once every 7 or days sheets etc. What size do you recommend also I only use cold water and not needed are all the different settings Thanks Rosemary

Hi Rosemary,
Thanks for the question regarding the Bosch WAW28460AU.
If you're talking about the capacity of our appliances then it all depends on the amount of washing you do, we can't really recommend on that alone. You can go to https://www.bosch-home.com.au/productlist/washers-dryers/washing-machines/front-load-washing-machines to look at the current range our lowest capacity are the 2 7.5kg appliances. These are also the ones with the least amount of different functions.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744 or to go into one of our retail partners stores, found at https://www.bosch-home.com.au/dealer-locator, to discuss more.

Trishaasked
Hi my washing machine has just developed a small water leak which appears to be in the spin/empty cycle .. certainly not on the fill wash cycle or from the hoses.
Any ideas on what might be the probem?
2 answers
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Trisha,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch WAW28460AU.
If it happens during the draining/spin cycle then it's probably a blockage somewhere. If you check the drain pump and drain hose connection and there's nothing there then it might be further in and can only be resolved by a service technician. Feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744 to help arrange this or discuss further. Working with our colleagues in the UK we provide a 24 hours contact from 8:30 Monday to 5:00 Friday so please call at your convenience.

Bosch Home Australia
Thank you. We will check as suggested. Trisha
Lesliasked
Hi,
Does any one know if the drum has a coating on it, what type of stainless still this is made out of? Want to use a cleaning product but don't want to damage the surface thanks
3 answers
It’s just a stainless steel drum
Thanks Kaz, so there is no coating on the stainless steel? There are a few different types of stainless that is all.
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Lesli,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch WAW28620AU.
There is no coating as far as we are advised. As long as you use chlorine-free cleaning agents and don't use steel wool there should be no side effects. If there are odors in the washing machine, or to clean the drum you can run the Drum Clean 90C program without laundry and only adding washing powder.

Belinda P.asked
Hi
I have just bought a Bosch Waw28460 front loader washing machine and can’t seem to find out in the instruction book if this model has aqua stop
2 answers
Hi Belinda, this unit only has Aqua Secure not Aqua Stop so it only detects a leak within the inlet hose, not within the appliance itself.
Ok Thank you

Pia Majorasked
I tried to open the machine before it was finished and the child lock kicked in. I released the door as instructed on you tube but now the machine is stuck in finished mode of the Delicates cycle And the child lock symbol is still showing And the dial isn’t changing the wash setting. It’s not acknowledging that the cycle finished etc
2 answers
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Pia,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch WAS32440AU.
If the child lock is still active then the appliance won't complete or start a new cycle. Turn the program selector back to the original program, turn the child lock off and try and continue the program. If this doesn't work then a service call may be needed.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Thanks. I ended up leaving the machine unplugged overnight with door open. I turned power back on and let it beep at me several times and the program eventually cleared. No service call needed yay

Gaye M.asked
Hi, if I'm using washing powder do I take out the liquid measuring aid or does it stay in the machine regardless?
Thanks

Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Gaye,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch WAW32640AU.
Nothing needs to be taken out for manual dosing of detergent. Just make sure to put the powder in the correct compartment in the drawer.

Thank you. I have a Bosch wan22120AU 7.5kg. The blue insert says liquid only and takes up the whole left compartment. When I took the blue insert out I could see the II meaning powder goes in here. Any thoughts on this? Many thanks

Kellieasked
I rang up Bosch for this question, and still haven’t got an answer. For IDOS- how many mls does it actually dispense? For the 1,2 and 3 bars?? So I’m looking at the liquid detergent section to decide on one and try the IDOS (coz I normally manually dispense powder) some liquids have a normal load at 75ml and some have it at 100ml- what does the machine dispense??? If it’s less or more than the factory settings than I’ll have to change it - which the manual tells me how to do.
1 answer
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Kellie,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch WAW32640AU.
The reason you haven't gotten a specific answer is because there isn't one. It's not a specific amount. Special sensors detect the load weight and fabric type and even the degree of soiling in the automatic programs so that your laundry is washed with the optimal amount of detergent. The 1,2 and 3 bars is an indication to the sensors that the laundry is either lightly, normal or heavily soiled so they a bit more or a bit less than what the sensors indicate.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us back.

Peter Wasked
We are interested in buying a Bosch WAW28620AU machine with i-DOS. We only use a certain brand of powder detergent. Does i-DOS only work with liquid detergent? Are there any issues or concerns in using powder only with this machine (perhaps even without any fabric softener)? Perhaps the i-DOS feature is irrelevant (for powder detergents) and perhaps another model would be more appropriate. Please advise. Thanks, Peter
2 answers
The idos compartment only takes liquid. You would have to switch off the idos feature and use the big manual compartment on the left for powder.
I don’t use fabric softener. So mine stays empty.
If you don’t want idos, I would pick a machine without it so your not always switching off this feature.
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Peter W,
Thanks for your question regarding your Bosch WAW28620AU Washing Machine, the I-DOS function works with liquid only. We recommend any of our Bosch Washing Machines that do not support this feature if you are wanting to use powder detergent only. If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Whats the difference between aquastop v aquasecure?
2 answers
I’m not too sure but my machine leaked water from somewhere one time. It hasn’t happened since.
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Dee, Thanks for your question. Aqua stop is an electrical controlled water valve that shuts the water inlet down, this is part of the flood safety system that operates when a leak is detected within the appliance. Aqua secure is an inlet hose that is mechanical device, it detects a leaking connection at the tap only. If we can be of any help to you feel free to call us on 1300 369 744.
