How We Repair Your Bosch Washing Machine
Washing machines fill, agitate or tumble, drain and spin using valves, a pump, a drive motor and suspension, all managed by a control board.
Every Bosch model has its own parts list, so we start with the model and serial number on the rating label. That tells us the correct parts and any known issues or service bulletins for your unit.
Common Washing Machine Problems We Fix
Leaking
A worn door boot seal on front-loaders, a loose or cracked hose, or a failing tub seal or pump.
Shaking or walking during spin
An unbalanced load, worn shock absorbers or suspension springs, or a unit that is not level.
Will not start
A door lock fault, a control board problem or a failed lid switch.
Loud grinding or roaring
Worn tub bearings, usually on front-load machines.
Bad smell
Mildew in the door gasket, drain filter or detergent drawer.
Will not drain or spin
A clogged drain pump filter, a kinked drain hose, a failed drain pump or a lid or door lock that is not engaging.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Clean the drain pump filter (front-loaders usually have a small door at the bottom).
- Make sure both water valves are open and hoses are not kinked.
- Redistribute heavy loads and check the machine is level.
- Write down any error code.

Do you work on all Bosch models?
We repair current and older Bosch models. Some discontinued parts can be hard to find; if that is the case for your model, we tell you before you pay for a repair.
Should I repair or replace my washing machine?
A washing machine typically lasts about 10 to 14 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
