What are the step by step instructions for setting the NIGHTWASH programme please. I seem to be doing something wrong and would like to know what…. I put the clothes in…., set the temperature and spin speed….. then i set the finish in time…. and press start. Is this correct or am I missing something. Any help would be appreciated.
Karina, the answer is “Yes”. Are you still looking for this? I’ll post the info if you are.
I have WAN28201GB MODEL. Can I use only spin? Without rinse. I mean that I put it in, spin it and take it out.
what is the best programme for say washing an adult towelling dressing gown with a couple of bath towels and secondly a double duvet cover, double sheet and 4 pillow cases. The manual is not helping!! NEVER BEEN NERVOUS OF USING A MACHINE BEFORE… second wash I did..i got it all wrong and had to get the engineer out!!
How do I remove the cleaning filter on the bottom right, I am having massive difficulties
I’m having the same locked @ end of cycle problem. 5-sec press doesn’t work for me either…?
My washing machine will not spin and the drum lock button is on. How do I turn this off?
Finding the manual very complicated. Need to know how to just spin as my washing us very wet.
Close the rinse/spin cycle. Then press the aquaplus button on the digital display to turn off the rinse and it will just spin.
Hi, my machine has a quick wash setting of 15/30 mins, it only lets me go from 30 mins and not 15, trying to set the time means it’s goes up from 30 mins to 1 hour, 2 hour and so on. How can I set it to a 15 minute wash?
Hi my washing machine is 6 months old and it’s banging and rocking lad mad I’ve tried to level it up the several times what could be the problem are the shock absorbers way to change
Mine sometimes doesn’t start the wash when I use the time delay. So frustrating, can’t figure out why.
I have an E18 fault. I am draining the machine of water but how do I check if there is debris blocking the tubes. The knob inside is incredibly difficult to turn and does not come out. Should it?
Hi, fault E18 means that the washing machine cannot drain the water. It usually helps to clean the filter.
The filter at the bottom won’t open at all. It won’t move. Is there something that I need to do to release itb
Is the 8 capacity kg the dry weight of laundry or the wet .
What does F:43 message mean l
How do I clear a programme?…..
Symbol @ appears and beeps at top right corner of display when trying to start program.
any help most welcome
does this model have prewash. I have it and cannot find it. However there are two drawers for the powder/liquid.
Hi my machine door has stopped locking is there a way to fix it as there is no help in the manual on this?
Can the temperature be changed to zero/cold on the wool/ hand wash program?
What are the total depth sizes including door.
The space in the kitchen allows maximal 59 mm otherwise we would not be able to close the doors.
Series 4 Varioperfect: How do I get the lid off the top of the Machine ?
(qualified electrical/electronics tech.)
If installing at home, do you have to take any packaging out of the machine?
Yes, remove all packaging from the machine before first use. Also remove the transport bolts.
Does not use softener from middle draw or dumps in at beginning of wash. Tried on cotton and mixed load settings. Please help
My new machine does not dispense fabric softener either
My machine is flashing E18. I can’t find my manual.
HI, fault E18 means:
Drainage hose blocked or kinked
Solution
“Clean filters in the water supply hose. Attention: The leaking water may be very hot (risk of scalding). Set programme selector to . Pull out the mains plug. Check whether the drainage hose has been installed without kinks. Loosen hose clip on the siphon, carefully remove drainage hose (residual water). Clean drainage hose and siphon spigot. Hold drainage hose in a bucket and select the programme. Connect drainage hose to the siphon and check for leaks.”
The manual is almost useless. An 8 year old could have written better instructions.
Could you advise how to continue a program when accidentally stopped. My children tend to turn the program buttons to another program when the machine is washing and soap/water is still in the machine. (Half-way)
Is there a way to get the machine continue the program, rather than restarting?
Unfortunately, if you change the program to another, you can’t go back to the middle of the previous one. Use Child Lock, then the buttons will not respond.
I agree with Maren. Sometimes my machine seems to have a mind of its own. Oh to have a decent manual.
You’re quite right about instructions they don’t tell you enough clearly we had to go on You Tube to be able to work things out
I’d like to know if there’s a pre-wash option with this model. The manual is not specific and refers to the (absent) Supplementary sheet to the operating instructions…
As far as I am aware, the BOSCH WAN28201GB Series 4 does not come with a Prewash option.
If one is available, it will be named on the programme dial setting as shown here.
https://www.bosch-home.in/experience-bosch/living-with-bosch/fresh-reads/getting-to-know-your-washer-dryer-settings
The supplied manual can be a bit vague to say the least, as it covers multiple model variations.
I cannot work out how I can operate the Spin only programme. I hade put washing on the darl wash programme and the washing was left too wet to dry.
How do I set the machine on a spin only program? Bosch series 6
Please can you email me a copy of the operating instructions ( mines gone missing)
Set to rinse/spin (22 mins) then turn off aquaplus on digital display. Time will drop to 13 mins
how do set the different spin speeds
My machine has been locked by mistake and I can’t open it
If the key or CL is lit on the display, press and hold the Start button for 5 seconds
The display says “end” and is remaining locked. Tried holding down start but just keeps beeping. How can I unlock it?
Hi did u manage to unlock it? Mines doing the same
have just used the washer on super quick when finished I put the control back yo off the door will not open the model is WAN28281GB just had it delivered this morning the old BOSCH machine has been fantastic for many years without any problems to operate would you please send instructions for any problems with this machine
how to remove drawer?
Hi, it’s easy, slip the drawer all the way and lift it
