This machine had its power board die after 4 years. Cost approx 80% of the purchase price to repair. Will not buy Bosch again. Also the door handle is terrible- it broke several times. I do not recommend this product. Very disappointing after attempting to buy a good quality brand and paying a decent amount 4 years ago.

Washing machine itself has been good until now (Have replaced two handles but wasn't too expensive)!!!
5 years old and it has lost all power.

I called a repairer who informed me that this model is nothing but problems. We are a small young family and just cannot afford to buy a new washing machine or replace a PCB or module for $700. I don't know who to call or email to help...can someone recommend the best process for me?

Will BOSCH still support me as I have no heard anything back from them.

I have a matching dryer which is fantastic but has me worried it will die a day after 5yrs is up.

Does a great wash, lots of options and eco too.
The machines con is it has a very poorly designed opening handle. Just a flimsy plastic tab on the seemingly large strong handle. Broken 2. $50 a piece from ebay. Not a good enough design for a pretty expensive machine. Could've bought 3 fully optioned machines for the same money. We didn't though because we thought the design would be strong....

Don't buy one!!! The handle on these machines locks after a dry cycle and wont open for hours and hours. Impatient guests will pull the door handle too hard after waiting for hours to get their clothes out and will break it. There is a plastic tab which snaps off with any amount of force. Bosch will know of this problem but has done nothing to help us. We bought 7 of these machines and are bitterly disappointed,

Very happy with this machine. The staining of the rubber seal is disappointing on a brand that has such a high profile. I am replacing the seal for aesthetic purposes( I am told it is a mould stain even though we wipe out and leave the door open) Quote on new seal is $143 with a service charge to make a total of $209. Does not include initial call out fee of $85 to look at issue. $294 total. Expected better from this brand.

Lock mechanism broke and not able to open door to get washing out. Cheap plastic inside and bad customer service over the phone. Service call costs $80 and every $8 labour every six minutes. Metal lock is secured with very tiny peace of weak plastic. Such poor design and manufacturing.

Never ever buy Bosch!!!!! 4 days out of warranty(got an extended warranty) and just stopped biggest bucket of rubbish..had my last whirlpool machine for 21 yrs, I don't expect to get that long out of a machine again BUT 4 yrs seriously... Bosch's response was sorry nothing we can do!! Will never buy anything made by this company ever AGAIN
If I could give this company no stars I would have.

This machine was working fine until today. Now it has no power and I can not open the door to get my clothes out. I have tried the door release lever and it is not working. I suspect the no power issue is the PCB board like so many other reviews. Do not buy this model.

We purchased Bosch WAS24460AU three years ago with cash-back option. At first, Bosch never replied my e-mail regarding to cash-back offer and I received nothing. Now, after 3 years of minor usage, rubber seal is broke and water is leaking out. Same again, no reply from Bosch.Don't waste your money!

Purchased front loader from appliances on line for $998.00 May 2013 after reading good reviews, well Jan 2015 spent $223.00 to fix locked door which apparently wasn't covered by warranty. Now I've been advised it will cost $99 call out fee plus $22 each 10 mins plus bearings at $120 for 3 If that's is the problem so a min of $350. So do I fork out more money or buy new machine every 3 years.....................??????? NOT HAPPY WITH BOSCH

Do not touch this machine, we have had our 4 2.5 years only in a 2 person household, so gets used maybe once a week, lock mechanism broke and we had to have it replaced and the drum spider has now broken and the repair would cost half of buying a new machine. Of course they only give you a 2 year warranty and all starts going wrong at the 2 year mark.

A sadly consistent story - blown PCB. About $800 to fix plus $140 to tell us that the PCB that had gone. Its 4 years old and already cost us $400 for a replacement door 18 months ago. Bought a new washing machine today; not a Bosch nor made in China as is the WAS24460Au.

Started poorly when the manufacturer didn't even bother to bolt down the stabilizer and so banged around for a month with bosch service team telling me I hadn't installed the machine properly. It was a good machine after this until I for the pcb power failure. It's only a couple of years old. It's a disgrace to spend 700 to fix a new machine. Bosch should have some responsibility to fix this.

I really did love this machine. I washed all day yesterday and attempted to wash one more load this morning. The machine simply will not power on. The power point works fine as I tested it with another appliance. The washer just wont start. Very annoyed. Why do these things happen on a Saturday morning. I now have to wait till Monday.
