Washing machine Bosch Maxx classic. Water is not able to drain away. I unsrewed the bottom front to manually drain off the water and managed to remove only a few items and found nothing else that may have caused the blockage. I tried the machine again and still faced the same problem. When it came to spin function, the water could not drain off at all. Please advise. Thank you.

The code means that the water is taking to long to pump out
unsrew the pump filter at the bottom front right
have some towel ready to soak up the water
clean and replace filter
most times this fixes the fault
if it doesn't then check for a blocked drain hose or faulty pressure switch

Filter is located bottom left of machine it has a small black hose tucked inside ,you would remove the Plug on the end of the hose and drain any excess water into a container then unscrew the filter anticlockwise to remove the filter any object within will now bw apparent... Good luck.

Replace the inlet solenoids. They are where the hoses attach to at top back of machine. Dead easy replacement. Couple of screws and a tubing clamp

You will always have some water (up to a litre) left in the pump of any washing machine once the cycle has finished. On some of the Bosch models there is a short black hose next to the filter which will allow you to drain off this excess water in to a shallow baking tray before opening the filter. I there is no hose then usually you can drain straight into a shallow tray

Hey there, welcome to Fixya! The above answers were pretty helpful, did you fix your problem with them? Did you check the manual for further instructions? You can find a PDF copy here: Bosch Classixx 5 Manual

Hi Irene,

drain solenoid problem.

On the bottom front there is a panel, that panel is the 'sump' area. Make sure that is cleaned out so that all water can eject during rinse cycle.

There are a lot of things to consider when trying to solve this problem. Obviously a front loader washes differently than a top loader. Top loaders tend to using a washing motion that is good for stains but wear out your clothes fast. Front loaders typically use less water and wash more gently, but in some ways still do better than top loaders. Anyway, think about any other variables that go into the laundry equation. Consider the distance the machine is from your water heater. This machine will use MUCH less water to fill than your old one, and, you know how when you turn a faucet on hot it takes a minute for the hot water to actually get there? It's the same way with your machine. If there's a sink next your washer, you should always turn on the hot water on the faucet until it gets hot right before you start the machine. The same goes for dishwashers. If there's not a sink close you can easily turn up the temperature for all hot water on your water heater, although that will use more energy.
Consider what detergent you're using. If you're using high efficiency detergent (like Tide he) maybe you should switch to your old brand. If you're using your old brand of detergent, try getting a high efficiency detergent.

you only need to check the filter once a month or so depending on what you wash - blankets for example give off a lot of fluff. to help prevent water spilling out when you check, put machine on drain and check filter while draining.
