Bosch washer won't start or the door stays locked

Before a Bosch or Siemens front loader will take in water, the door lock has to latch the door and confirm to the electronics that it is secure. A faulty lock can't give that signal, so the machine sits with a program selected and never starts, or the door lock symbol keeps flashing. The opposite happens too, where the cycle ends and the door stays shut long after the drum has stopped. Worn latch parts and failed electrical contacts inside the lock are the usual causes.

Changing the door lock

Unplug the washer before you begin. If the door is stuck shut, drain any water and use the emergency release behind the pump service flap where your model has one. Ease off the door seal's outer clamp ring and fold the rubber back to reach the lock, undo its screws and move the wiring plug across. Check the door closes with a firm click before a test wash.
