Bosch vision error code E01 on washer

SOURCE: I have a Bosch Vision 500 with a few error codes.

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

Based on your post I understand you have a Bosch WFVC5400 "Vision" series washer. Hopefully the info below will supply you with the assistance you require.

I will start by letting you know though the E27 & E95 error codes are not common nor are they listed in the service manuals, they are known to be associated with door lock and communication errors. These can be due to the door lock mechanism failing and/or is overheating. It is recommended that you unplug the appliance for 30 minutes and try again.

The E01 error indicates a door lock error directly. Though again this can manifest from an improper draining and not necessarily a lock problem.(drain time exceeded).

If the unplugging the uit fails to rectify the errors, you will need to first check the pump/drain lines and if all else fails replace the lock assembly unfortunately....but that's getting ahead of ourselves.

Try this first...


The next step is as follows,



Following this ( or in reverse order it's your call if you think there may be substantial water still present ) I'd do this step first...checking the pump filter. It may be a good plan to have towels close by, or a wet-dry shop vacuum.

It's as follows...




Then the filter removal...




That should resolve the problem, As I also alluded to before, there is a possibility the lock itself is faulty, but not likely.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and good luck. Let me know if you need further assistance or if any of this is unclear.

**NOTE:too much "He" detergent or the use of non-He detergent can also cause too many suds which are opposition to proper operation of these machines and can and DO cause all kinds of error codes**

Once the issue is resolved I recommend running the unit through the hottest temperature possible on the longest cycle possible and add some product called "washer fresh" or "Affresh".

Both are designed to remove residule soap buildup inside the tub assembly and prevent errors associated with soap suds, which usually manifest in errors with the pump and lock.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

SOURCE: front load washer Bosch Vision 300/500/DLX will not drain getting a code of E27 can you help. Can't find the code # in the booklet that came with it.

A code E27 means a problem with the door lock. Try unpluging the machine for an hour and see if it resets the lock.

If not remove the cover on the lower right corner you will see a white plastic pull cord. Pull the cord and pull open the door. If that doesn't reset the door lock you will need to replace the lock.
