Very annoying as my wife a European hand-washes and spins woolens and lays them flat to dry; it avoids a lot of expensive dry-cleaning. Nov 06, Rating I like it by: appmagic Used this washer for 4 years still works great.

Yes a longer wash cycle but does all the laundry it need and with less dryer time and uses less water. When I am done with a load I leave the door open. Never had mold or any smell issues. Aug 08, Rating Class Action Suit against Bosch by: Anonymous We're disgusted with this mold ridden washer which is a major health issue.

I'm going to due the leg work to find a lawyer to take on this problem. Web searched after new reports on front loaders and mold. While I don't have mold issues, I don't recommend and would not rebuy Bosch. I have had the unexplained errors mentioned, poor spinning, looooong cycle times, useless functions I've never used, minor hardly noticeable energy savings in my house.

I don't live in a humid climate and my husband and I always leave the washer door open after use to let the air circulate I too have the bosch nexxt series. It does not spin my clothes out. They are still pretty we when wash finishes. This machines sucks! I do not recomment to anyone. I also hate that this washer takes over an hour to wash my clothes. Mar 16, Rating bosch washer sucks by: Anonymous the bosch washer sucks!!

Feb 25, Rating Spin cycle and mold by: Tracy I've been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with my Bosch Nexxt machine since we bought top of the line - clothes are wet after spin cycle and no option just to re"spin" - now I see I'm not alone in this.

Bosch customer service couldnt help, nor the dealer we bought it from, I will just spread the word that Bosch is not the washer to buy. It constantly throws the E error code, sometimes as much as six times during the 25 minute cycle. Yes, I've removed the front panel, unscrewed the drain plug, soaked up four towels worth of water only to see Hate it so much, I'm really considering using it for target practice before they take it away and deliver my new TOP loader Whirlpool.

Bosch got the only money they will ever get from me. Errors E02 every other load. Loads are small, medium or large. Washer is level. Going to bite the bullet and get a standard mechanical top loader. Jan 20, Rating No Bosch for me next time by: Anonymous Wish I had never read the reviews convincing me this was the washer to have. Mildew, clothes twisted into knots, water left in the tub.

Busy mom with no time for costly, poorly engineered products. Love my Bosch stove but they can have the washer back! Nov 23, Rating Love our Nexxt by: Anonymous the best washer ever, have it for three years and not a single issue, our whites are white and yellows are yeloww RTFM and enjoy what you paid for Oct 20, Rating n by: Anonymous Our Nexxt washer and gas dryer work very well.

We have had them for at least 5 years and never have had a problem. Maybe we get different models here in Canada. Clothes smell, washer smells. Wonderful when you have guests and have nothing to offer them but stinky towels. It takes a day to wash sheets since they become wadded into a ball and the sensor cannot tell if they are dry and you must monitor the sheets to turn the dryer on numerous times. Jul 16, Rating Junk I had a Bosch dishwasher and couldn't be more pleased.

However, after purchasing the washer and dryer combo have totally changed my mind about Bosch. We have had the repairman out several times because the washer doesn't spin out completly, and there are also times that I have to hold the washer down while it runs and shakes through the spin cycle. We were told to put throw rugs down on either side of the washer to prevent the machine from ruining the woodwork and trim on the laundry room floor and cabinet.

Not an answer, but so far, that's all we've gotten after 3 visits from the certified repairman. We it bought as replacement to our 12 yr old Maytag and have been upset with spending such a large amount of money on such a poorly functioning washer. Often items need to washed twice to clean properly and we always have to run the extra rinse cycle. The supposed savings in energy and water never materialized and if you want to wash a pair of jeans the washer will not spin.

Will never buy anything by Bosch manufactured by Bosch again. Also, I get an error message if I wash too many towels. If the machine isn't getting the water out of the clothes, try cleaning this hose. I have also had the dryer repaired about 3 times because it stops heating. It is also very squeaky. I wouldn't buy another Bosch.

Feb 11, Rating Junk! Dec 20, Rating Class action against Bosh company - Why not? I am hearing very bad evaluation of both, especially of the dryer. What I do not understand, only reading all negative comments on this site, that nobody so far has launced a class action against the Bosh company. This is extremely profitable company which produces a lot of other expensive items,well beyond home appliances.

I wonder why some lawyers do not pursue an action against the Bosh company. They can make a lot of money as thousands of people cannot lie, the machines can be tested by experts to confirm or dispel the negative evaluations. If a car company had produced such defective products, there would be a recall or any punitive action against it.

Pls help me understand while the Bosh company can continue producing something that does not serve its purpose, costs a lot of money and insults the intelligence of ordinary people. Many thanks. Dec 03, Rating i've had mine for 5 years by: Anonymous not sure what all the fuss is about. Nov 15, Rating E code, and buy the extended warranty! Unplugged machine for awhile. Plugged back in, still had code. Turned to off. Sat here for awhile, reading comments.

Went back to machine opened door,then shut harder. Machine works fine again I pour a little vinegar across both softener and bleach dispenser frequently, and in summer after I have washed a load and removed clothes. Also wipe out gasket and as much water as I can find, both in the soap dish and inside machine all around the door.

Keeping my fingers crossed, these sound like very touchy machines. I have had mine two years now and no problems, but missed out on buying the extended warranty, something everyone should do. I purchased the machine about 3 years ago along with an extended warranty, but thought that I'd never have to use it because it was a high-end quality machine.

Boy was i wrong. The machine also has serious timing problems. Most of the time, it takes me about 2 hours to wash 1 load. At its worst, it has taken me over 3 hours to complete 1 load.

So, I try to just spin, which is not possible on this machine. Also, I cannot wash a comforter in this machine, which is really not a good feature of a good machine. Of course after one washes the laundry one has to leave to washer door open so the moisture can evaporate adn it does not get mold or rust, but that should be common sense. The time to wash the washer shows in the beginning is not necessarily the time it needs to wash. According how big the load it, the time gets adjusted during washing.

It usually needs less time. The extra sanitary cycle needs 2 hours, but then I am sure my linen is clean. It saves water and energy I am also very happy with the dryer. It dries fast and well.

Love it! Recommend it. Sep 29, Rating Americans stick with your front loader! They are the biggest crap ever, typical US! But that is what you're used to and that is what you should stick to because you can't appreciate the other! Jul 28, Rating Bosch next gen washer junk by: Anonymous I have had this machine about two years and it has been nothing but a headache.

It is totally tempermental. I have spells when it will not spin, and then it will suddenly work fine for months. Now, it will begin a cycle and go immediately to spin but it actually does never spin, it only drains and stays stuck! I wish I had just purchased a simpler, less expensive model of washer. It should be recalled and money returned.

Jul 27, Rating Washer counterbalance fallen by: Ray The smell can be combated with Affresh washer tablets and the tangled laundry can be unfurled in the dryer but then there was this unbalanced spin cycle business that caused the washer to bounce around moving it as far as two feet in any direction.

Finally after 1 year of the madness, the washer was leaking water underneath. The repairman found the right concrete counterbalance broken off and on the floor of unit; and with the violent vibrations, the boot of the washer ripped, hence, the water seeping underneath the washer. If anyone else has a violent vibration with the spin cycle and the washer is perfectly level, I recommend checking out if the washer is still balanced with the counterbalances.

Jun 15, Rating Follow owner's guide instructions by: Howard Our units do not get a lot of use, but even so perhaps I can make some helpful observations. To handle the mildew problem, make sure you dry off the door, gasket especially , and access area at the top after each load.

Leave the door open for at least an hour after the wash is done. Bosch recommends doing an empty, bleach-only load at intervals.

Do it twice as often as they recommend. This should solve mildew problems. Use only HE detergent, period, and do not use too much. The container cap with most brands has fill-to marks, and follow those guidelines. The inlet hoses one uses with washers can split and leak, so when you are done washing, turn off the water supply to those hoses. That will make them last a longer, and will also eliminate any potential disasters with the washer itself leaking during non-use periods. Clean that lint filter.

It should be lint free at the start of any drying load. Use a long, slender vacuum attachment to occasionally clean the recess into where the lint filter normally fits. Use a flashlight to check that area. Make sure that the vent pipe for the dryer is solid metal and not plastic or corrugated metal.

Make sure that only two degree elbows are involved. Use a long vacuum cleaner hose fabricate one if needed to clean out the pipe from the exit end at least twice a year. Clean the two sensors next to the door on the left side monthly, with vinegar, and wipe them down with your dry fingers after each load.

We have had no repair-required problems with our washer, although on a few occasions it has failed to run the selected super-fast spin cycle.

Just selecting the spin-only function to give it another try did a quick re-spin at the required speed. The washer does have some issues with the front panel indicator, which seems to have a mind of its own.

The time-left function is nearly useless, and the machine rarely runs as long as the indicator states. We have had the dryer serviced twice, both times for it simply failing to start up and work.

The work was done under full warranty the first time, but only partially with the second. The dryer has also run too hot on two different occasions, both times with a timed cycle selected. It has not done this with any of the other settings. We never run either machine with nobody in the house, because we want to avoid having either a fire or flood. Once the machines actually start to give us real trouble we will obtain replacements. They will NOT be Bosch models, however. Jun 01, Rating Bosch next caused house fire by: Anonymous Our Bosch next dryer was only three weeks old when it caused a major house fire.

Our house was destroyed by smoke damage. No wonder. May 12, Rating Too Late Now! We should have known from the price that there must have been something wrong, as she sold both the washer and dryer to us for the price of one.

I washed my first load of clothes yesterday and was very disappointed that it takes so long to wash items. Lucky for me I was washing large loads, so i didn't have any problems. But I couldn't figure out for the life of me, how to get it to just spin only or to find a cycle that didn't take an hour or longer to wash.

I wish I had done my homework on this machine before we purchased it. There's no way, I would have taken it off her hands. Oh well, looks like we'll be making one more purchase sooner than expected. May 12, Rating Any scruples at Bosch? Engineers must wade through a mine field of patents as they design these things - that is the only excuse I can think of for this poor design.

I hope Bosch will feel embarassed enough to pay some patent holder a royalty to fix future models, or they will be out of business. I've had my Bosch Nexxt Series for over a year and I certainly wish I had done more homework before purchasing this machine.

It takes forever and I swear my whites are no longer bright. Even bleaching often, my husbands t-shirts look gray. Sometimes the wash does not spin out dry and the only way I have figured to re-spin them is to start the wash all over again. May 06, Rating Piece of crap!!!

I'm not alone. After reading all these reviews I now see that I didn't just get a lemon - there's not a decent machine in the lot. I luckily purchased an extended warranty when I bought the machine 23 months ago. Each time I was home, I'd have to have the repair guy out. After his 5th trip out and still the fabric dispenser doesn't work, the loads take forever to finish - if they don't stop part way through flashing an error code.

Most of the time the cloths don't spin out. I finally today got the okay to get a new machine. Ofcourse, my extended warranty won't replace the full value of the machine. Just a piece of crap from day 1. So now I'm on here trying to figure out which machine I dare get. I can guarantee you one thing - it won't be a Bosch.

In all fairness though. I did own a Bosch front load before and loved it, so I was just stunned when I ran into this problem. Anyhow, I'm gonna keep on looking for what to get.

Good luck everyone. Piece of junk. Mildew towels and clothes. For an entire year I thought I smelled and it was the damn machine. Replaced a motor after having one month. Now the door is locked and the clothes are stuck at the end of the rinse cycle. My suggestion, given all our appliances, is to avoid electronics by all means. Get appliances with mechanical knobs and dials. My mother's stove and refrigerator still work at 50 years! May 06, Rating Nexxt washer by: Anonymous the Nexxt washer sucks!!!

Plus parts!! Apr 15, Rating Bosch Nexxt Plus Series Washer by: Ripped off We bought an expensive Nexxt Series washer and dryer pair thinking that we were getting a high quality product and at the same time helping the enviroment. Instead, we got a total piece of junk where Bosch customer service will not stand behind their product even though they know washer smells and will not operate after water fill that they have a built in defect as substantiated by countless similar complaints on the internet.

There should be a class action suit against such as careless company. Do not buy anything from this company. This is one for the landfill. Bosch sucks! The cold water control valve is leaking again. It also does not spin correctly for small loads. The dryer rolls the blankets and sheets in a ball, which means the center of the ball is wet. As for winkle control? Forget it. We keep the iron handy. The washer control panel is cheap plastic that constantly cracks because of the violent spin cycle.

The door is cheap plastic that is also cracking. Now the drain cleanout is leaking and there is nothing in the manual to troubleshoot this. I'm sure I could become an appliance technician after the number of repairs I have done myself on these appliances since the warranty expired. The dryer has a reset button that needs resetting every time a load comes out cold.

Stay away from Bosch appliances unless you like repair bills and greif!! Dirty laundry comes out smelling worse than when it went in. Mar 05, Rating Ughhhhhh!!! Our front loader is a little over 1 year old, of course out of warranty. I stupidly tried to was a rug by itself and all hell has broke loose.

Granted I can accept some responsibility for washing the rug by itself, but the fact that I've waited 2 weeks for the only Bosch repairman in the entire state of GA is just ridiculous. I never would have purchased a product that is unserviceable. Buyer beware. GE - customer service said, "all brands but that! Go pound sand basically. BOSCH customer support, should be renamed customer no support.

Even had appliance sales reps contact repairmen that work on the side for extra cash and all said the same thing. I've never seen anything like it. I'll be making a copy of all these complaints. I smell a class action in the making! Mar 05, Rating Hate Mine, Too! Silly me for believing him I'm sure he was just trying to get me to buy a Bosch because he was probably in an incentive program from Bosch.

We had the repairman here within weeks of getting it and the door still doesn't lock unless you push it half a dozen times. The clothes are soaking wet after the spin cycle and neither the dryer light nor the one on the washer go off automatically. You have to go turn it off manually. And they call it energy efficient?!!!

We are selling the house that has the LG in it, and I want to keep those machines and get rid of my almost new Bosch I guess I'll just have to hope the LG lasts longer.

I find them to be much more enjoyable to use and the clothes are cleaner much faster! Feb 16, Rating Door seal by: Mary We have had a Nexxt series for about three years, but our problems are a little different than the ones here.

Yes, we have to babysit the washer too: annoying that the E error message beep sounds like the end-of-cycle beep: you think your load is done, go to the basement to check, and you still have an hour to go. But the worst problem I haven't seen here: we don't have the mold problem with the door seal, because we can't keep a door seal intact.

As my DH pointed out the other day, once more, and we could have bought another washer by now. The last time, the seal lasted three weeks it was replaced on Halloween and torn by Thanksgiving. The tear gets bigger and bigger, socks slip through it, water leaks, and then we call them.

Four times so far. The technicians predictably have no idea why: one chuckled and said "Oh, you just have to replace them once a year or so, like tires. I have no idea, but I'm at my wit's end. This isn't some yard-sale purchase: I did my research! But I'm really frustrated.

Feb 16, Rating A total waste of hard earned money by: Anonymous What an absolute piece of way overpriced piece of crap. Bosch Engineers need to go back to school. Feb 05, Rating machine vibration by: buddy I am very dissapointed with the bosch washer.

Purchased sept. I still cant get it balanced. Luckily i purchased service contract and had technician come out and professionally balance it. When i called on my lowes warranty they made appointments 2 different days in a row with me and never showed up or called. Finally some one showed up on the third day sorry customer service!

The technician said that the bosch washers are very hard to work on. I have always bought whirlpool appliances in the past and never any problems. No more bosch products for me! Jan 07, Rating Unhappy with my Bosch by: Anonymous I am so disappointed with my new Bosch series washer and dryer.

I would sell them if I could get a good price. I have nothing good to say about either product. I have not had a set of sheets come out of the dryer without tons oF wrinkles and if you try to dry a blanket or two they roll into a ball and the sensor says they are dry but the center of the ball is still wet. I take them out and unroll and try again, same thing happens. Reply 8 months ago. Thanks for the comment. People have reported baby socks, underwires and other things but this is the first Covid mask!

Just a matter of time, I suppose. Thanks again. Thank you for the excellent instructions! I had a small wash cloth stuck in there. I was able to remove it and my washer is now back to working condition! Question 2 years ago on Step 6.

I emptied the drum successfully per your instructions and restarted the washing cycle, but the E04 error code re-occurs and the drum does not drain. I repeated the process several time and also cleaned the water pipes and used cleaning pods in super hot water with long washing cycle , but E04 error code comes back!

Is there an alternative to throwing the machine to the curb??? Excellent Instructions, It worked! But I thought the warning of sharp edges was for someone who is not indestructable like me. So I did not heed the warning of sharp edges and got cut. So please do heed the warning of sharp edges.

We all think we are indestructible, but we are not. Thanks for a step by photo step tutorial on what caused my Bosch E04 error msg. VERY Helpful. Reply 2 years ago. Excellent instructions!

And I appreciate the warning about sharp edges; masking tape worked fine to prevent a nasty cut. Your info was much more help than anything provided by Bosch. You should feel good that people are finding this useful years later!

Yes, I am thankful and amazed that this 'ible is still helping folks. Your appreciation of my 'ible is really encouraging. Thank you, brgt40, you just saved me easily bucks. Awesome instruction. If Bosch seeing this post, Bosch should send you big cheque or give you free trip for your awesome helps! Question 2 years ago on Step 5. Should the impeller be able to turn full degree turns? Mine moves back and forth but not all the way around. What exactly drives the impeller?

After removing the sock I can rotate mine with my finger but it is not exactly 'free spinning'. It's seems I am also turning whatever the drive mechanism is Belt? Direct Drive? Nextt , circa Thanks Much! My 1st time fixing on my own so keep ur fingers crossed. Maybe even throw a Hail Mary my way. Thanks Again Thanks, instructions were clear and pictures where helpful. I first had some issues removing the first cover, so i ended up pulling it, a broken cover is better than a broken machine, but ended up coming out in one piece, which is nice.

Then i didn't had any wet vacuum, so i had to improvise. I took a cake tin and made a channel with duck tape to funnel the water in the tin, i kept a small cup and a larger bucket nearby to empty the cake tin as it were getting full. A sock was clogging the pump, i cleaned the thing as much as i could and closed everything back in place. Only point that should be added is to make sure there is no particles on the rubber ring or the place it will seal on the other side to prevent leaking.

This well explained procedure seems to have solved the problem for me, too. In my case there was a piece of clear plastic blocking the tube to the left of the impeller pump. At least that's how it was on my model. Be sure to look there too. Otherwise, I just had a bunch of sand, not really hurting anything to much.
