How to repair a Bosch washing machine that won't start

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My Bosch washing machine wouldn't start. When I selected a wash program with the dial the digital display on the screen lit up with the time ok but nothing would happen when I pressed the start button. This video shows how I investigated and resolved the issue.
The cost of purchasing a replacement part (Mechanical door interlock) online was under £31 (approx. $41 USD).
The quoted charge for a company to spend less than five minutes to repair the problem was just under £114 (approx. $152 USD).
I hope this video helps you out and saves you money. If it does please let me know in the comments and consider hitting the thumbs up "like" button. If you can subscribe that also helps.

    I am having the same issue with a Bosch front loader. It is also saying that the weight of the laundry is at 0% capacity. I am going to change out the locking mechanism to see if that fixes the issue of the wash cycle not starting. Thank you for making such an easy to follow video. Well done.

    Our washing machine wasn’t starting so I tried the 5 second reset, it still didn’t do anything right away so I tried opening the door (thinking may be a door lock problem as with yours and if not, it should be locked shut) and it opened. Slammed it shut again and it started the wash cycle! Thanks 👍👍👍 Update: the electric lock that the catch clicks into did need replacing not long after.

    I bought a used unit. The lady said it worked great. I plugged it in and got 2 beeps and nothing. I tried pushing the start button for 5 seconds to reset. Nothing. I replaced the door switch thinking that was it. It isn't. Same exact thing. Always 2 beeps. I read through the online owners manual and wasn't mentioned at all. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....Thank you, Carl
