Bosch washers are considered to be one of the most reliable and functional in the world. Buyers pay the special attention to Bosch Vision 300 series washer. The key advantages that characterize the brand’s device:
- a high level of power, which meets the needs of a large family;
- excellent energy efficiency indicators, which allow saving both electricity and water;
- silence during work that is especially important in an apartment;
- excellent cleaning performance. Also, there is a program that eliminates bacteria with almost 100% efficiency;
- positive customer feedback.
But even such a wide arsenal of merits can’t save the device from breakdowns and malfunctions. Bosch Vision 300 series shows error codes in different situations. The problems are related to:
- the way a user operates the appliance;
- failure of parts and components.
If you don’t understand what a certain code means, check the table below. Find the error, which your washer shows on the display. Having determined the specific cause of the code occurrence, proceed to the next task. You have to decide whether you need a professional help from washer specialist or not. Perhaps, you can fix the error independently by adjusting the washing process parameters.
