Bosch moved to cold water inlet only in their models Aquascure water inlets years ago. The manual confirms this. They use the heating element in the washing machine to precisely heat the water to the required temperature, as the hot water inlets are variable in temperature and often take a while to heat up.

BOSCH washing machine front loader. 01 FD 8609

Choosing cold water however inside was very hot.

Water supply is connected to a water hose.

In gentle mode can wash at 30 degrees. In other modes, the inside of the washing machine is hot and the drainage is very hot.



I wanted just washing with just water!

What is the problem?

Hi Bosch?, I have a series 8 front loader.
Our laundry set up requires passing the inlet hose through a hole in a cupboard wall, however with the chunky pump attached to the end it can’t fit through. So I don’t have to cut a bigger hole, can I detach the pump or hose then pass through and reattach?
Cheers!

Please refer to your manual on page 27. Depending on the programme, you can use the programme settings to adjust the washing process even more efficiently
to your items of washing. You are able to adjust the spin speed in programme setting. Please note that changing the spin speed may result in increasing the duration of the cycle.

WAY32540AU

Hi
I have a Bosch Serie 6 wash & dry machine I was wondering when I wash my towels they always come out quiet hard even when I use fabric softener. If I put them in the wash & dry cycle which goes for four hours they are nice & fluffy. What cycle can I use that will be best to get them fluffy and not take so long?
Thank you.

Hi Donna, thanks for your question.
It has been found with front load washing machines across the market that towels can be found to be flat and hard to the touch. The wash quality in a front loader is of a very high standard and the high spin speed can cause the problem.

To solve this problem we would suggest a few things:

1. Reduce the amount of detergent in the wash, so for a full load of towels, only use a quarter of a scoop or cap. Overdosing detergent will also cause hard stiff clothes, not just towels.

2. Make sure you use front loading only powder.

3. Reduce the spin speed on the cycle to about 700 - 800 as a higher spin will squash the pile on the towel as they hit the drum.

4. When the towels are taken out of the machine, give them a good shake to fluff up the pile again before you put them on the line.

5. Try not to leave the towels in direct sunlight on the line as this can scorch the fibre and make the towels even harder.

6. If you have a Dryer at home, you can try putting them on a low temperature for a few minutes and that should bring them back to life.

These suggestions should improve the quality of the wash for your towels and there should be no need to use fabric softener.
Regards, Bosch Home Australia.

Hi Jen W, thanks for your question. If the door is not opening after the cycle has finished you can use to emergency release, this will get your clothes out of the appliance while you wait for a service technician. You can find full instructions on how to use the emergency release in the appliance user manual. It's located at the far bottom right hand corner of the appliance. If you have any future queries, please feel free to call us on 1300 369 744.

Hi I have a WAW 28460AU Serie 8 front load machine. I usually use the MIX program and the default spin speed is 1400. I reduce it to 1200 but I would prefer a 1000 spin speed but apparently it is not an option since it goes directly to 800 from 1200. Is there a way to have a 1000 spin speed.
Also, is there a way to save the cycle you usually use so that you dont have to keep on changing the spin speed?
Please let me know. Thanks
