Bosch Nexxt 800 Washer Distugsting Smell

I've got the same problem & have run into the same issues, Bosch denies there is a problem. The more I read though, it sounds like all front load washers have this problem. I wish I'd stuck with a top load. I hate having to leave the door open & running a load of just bleach & hot water is not "Green", it's a waste of water, bleach, electricity, & time. I will never buy Bosch again & will tell everyone I know to avoid them.

When I finish the last load I wipe the gasket fry with a towel and place the towel to "Prop" the door open on the washing machine and let dry for 24ours, as Bosch suggests. Just making sure the gaskets is allowed to dry is the trick to avoiding a "smelly washing machine. Just doing that alone and I've NEVER had any smell issues at all so keep the gasket dry when your
e finished doing the laundry. It's so simple and so easy to do each time.The efficiency of my front load Bosch and the energy savings the clean cloths are so wonderful. I used to stand at the utility room sink and scrub each sock to make sure the bottoms would come clean through the wash. It was hard work!! Now I just put the whites in add detergent and no-chlorine bleach, hit the "stain removal" option and I'm telling you ladies my Bosch does the rest!!! No more scrubbing for me and I like it that way!!!I'm telling you Bosch truly makes "superior" products and has for many years!! If you wipe the gasket dry when you're done with the last load you will NOT create more work for yourself by needing a product to wash your washing machine to get rid of the mildew smell. Your cloths will always BE CLEAN and SMELL clean.Every wash!

How do I eliminate mildew from Bosch front loader washing machine? I've tried all standard remedies. I leave the door ajar after each wash load.

There is a product specifically for this issue, called washing machine cleaner. It is different from laundry detergent. You need to run the cleaner through monthly, and your issue should resolve.
Newer machines allow client to drain the water, attempting to address this issue, but I think the cleaner is required, or you do not get the mildew smell resolved.

Odor in washing machine

A lot of machines can suffer from this problem. It is usually down to a bacteria build up between the drum and the tub. The majority of appliances that suffer form this have been used mainly on 40 degree washes and with a biological detergent.
The best way to get rid of this smell is to place two tablespoons of washing soda or soda crystals in the detergent drawer and then run the appliance empty on the 90 degree wash. You may have to repeat this treatment before the smell goes but it will go eventually. Hope you've checked out & cleaned your filter.
You can give me a ‘very helpful’ rating for the help, can't you. Thanks.

Error code E:01

Hi and welcome to Fixya, The E01 error for your bosch indicates a door lock problem has been detected at the control board. Insure the door is closed tight, turn your breaker off or unplug the washer for a couple of minutes and retry. Let me know what happens, ultimately it may be a faulty lock assembly, a loose wire harness etc. but we'll cross that bridge when we get there...if necessary. I'll watch for you to respond with the result's. Good luck. Macmarkus :)
