While washing program stops showing f18 flashing

If you have replaced the drain pump in your Bosch WAE24463 washing machine and it still doesn't finish programs and shows the error code F18, you can try a factory reset to see if it resolves the issue. Here's how you can perform a factory reset on your Bosch washing machine:

1. Ensure that the washing machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
2. Press and hold the "Start/Pause" button.
3. While holding the "Start/Pause" button, turn the washing machine's program selector knob to the "Off" position.
4. Continue holding the "Start/Pause" button for about 5 seconds.
5. Release the "Start/Pause" button.
6. Turn the program selector knob to the desired program and then press the "Start/Pause" button to start the reset process.

Please note that performing a factory reset will erase any custom settings or programs you have saved on your washing machine, so you may need to reconfigure them after the reset.
If the factory reset doesn't resolve the issue and the F18 error code persists, it's recommended to consult the user manual or contact Bosch customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide specific troubleshooting steps based on the model and error code you are encountering.

hi, i turned on my wd865 machine and it starts fine and sounds the same but its displayinf f 18. but it doesnt continue the wash in the usual way . what does f18 mean ? please help :)

Hi,

F18 means pump is blocked or broken, clean filter first, no result change then you have to change the pump.

I also had this problem - the machine was full of water and it flashed up F18. I had to drain the water out of the machine using the small pipe located next to the drain filter. There was loads of water to drain out. I used my oven roasting tray which was perfect for the job. Then I undid the screwcap filter. There was a lot of really black water that came out, along with about two pounds worth of coins and some hairgrips. Now my machine works perfectly !

thank u
rate me

wtha is F 12 ????
