An error code of "F42" means your oven has a defective or jammed lower latch, latch motor or latch switch, which is preventing the lower oven's latch from locking properly. If all of the electrical connections are in place on your oven's power board, you may have a faulty power board.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

For Bosch Logixx, F42, F43 and F44 all decode as 'motor fault indicated'. Sorry ;-0)
I changed the motor on our Bosch (not a Logixx) at a cost of GBP250! I do expect it to last another 20 years, though.

If this has assisted you please score accordingly.
Thanks and good luck!

I just realised that I don't appear to have a comprehensive list of Bosch error codes, but some quick research tells me that F43 is a motor error, usually associated with the motor brushes requiring replacement (Though they may also be sticking and just require removing, cleaning and re-fitting).

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Bosch 'F18' indicates a filter problem.
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
