Depending on the cycle chosen, this may be perfectly normal for a front loader. I recommend reading the owner's manual to see if that is the case. I own an LG front loading washer, and it does the same thing when in a delicate or permanent press cycle. Try putting it on a heavy cycle. If you don't have an owner's manual for it, you can go to Bosch online and download the manual from the manufacturer.
First step with any leak find out exactly where the water is getting out if possible. You may find a gasket that is not sealing or damaged. Sometimes the door is not closing tightly enough against the gasket and will need to be adjusted. There are a number of other places on this machine that can leak thus the need to know exactly where it is coming from.
1: The flashing wash light usually indicates a problem with the door latch while a flashing rinse/spin light usually indicates a problem with your inlet valve.
2: The cold water inlet has 2 independant outlets. The issue that you are describing indicates that one part of the cold water inlet is not opening to allow water to flow to the proper dispenser port.
If you have got rid of all the water, and it still will not spin, then the odds are it is the brushes in the motor that need replacing.
Quite a common problem
Hi. Check the doorseal by lifting the folded lip which faces toward the drum opening. Use a torch and carefully examine the doorseal. It may have a small hole which is hard to see at first.
If door seal is ok remove top of machine and check inlet valve. Turn power off and with your hand examine the inlet water valve. If it feels damp on the solenoid then it leaks from there and finds its way around to the front of the machine though the frame work. This leak happens due to to much water pressure at your laundry taps. If so install a pressure reducing valve before the water inlet hose and replace the water inlet valve in the machine as it is now faulty.

Remove the top of the machine(screws are at the back). Look down the side of the front door on the inside of the machine. You will see a metal wire band holding the rubber on. You usually only need a screwdriver to loosen the screw which holds it tight. Try it out and get back to me if you get problems good luck
I did it! Thanks Paul, now I can cancel the repair guy that was scheduled to come in
two weeks.
No, you don't have to remove the front panel
To replace the boot gasket you first have to remove the old one. start by removing the outer ring, I used a needle nose pliers on the eyelet to stretch the spring a bit. This allowed for room so the ring came off of the outer gasket lip. To remove the gasket
off of the drum apply some down ward pressure on the gasket at the bottom. The
gasket will pop off in that spot, now just pull the rest off. I the used my needle nosed
pliers to pinch the clamp that holds the gasket to the water hose. The old boot gasket is now free from the machine.
Now to put the new boot gasket back on. A little tricky, be patient.
As you might have noticed there is a spring ring that will be holding the gasket once it is in place, put that aside for now. I followed Paul's advise, start the gasket at the top, work down one side then the other a little bit at a time, until the bottom is pushed
into place. Then came the spring ring part. That was tricky, I had to ask my 9 year old little girl to help dad. Note, keep the spring ring attached, It kept wanting to unhook itself. Start at the top, like you did with the gasket. I had my helper hold down the portion that was in place, while I worked the spring ring around some more.
Once the boot gasket is attached to the drum, attaching it to the outer ring is a piece of cake.
You do screw it to the left to undo it as much as you can, if it is stuck, then just keep gently pulling and trying to move it from side to side, screw it back in and out again, all the time moving it about as much as you can, hopefully you will eventually get it out to clean.
The fact that you are having trouble getting the filter out indicates that something is stuck in the pump filter, and this is what is holding it.
Just stick with it!!!
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks, and a merry xmas.
This is not something that is easy to fix. The front load machines use a DC motor. If the drum works when it washes and it does not spin, the issue could be the motor controller.
If the water in the machine is above a certain level a fail safe on the door lock will not allow it to be opened. Check the filter, make sure the machine has completely drained. Obviously, there may be a problem with the lock itself but try this first.All the best
This is a code that indicates the washer has tried to heat during a section of the program where heat is not reqd. This could be because you have the water intake hooked up to hot water by mistake, a fault with the heater or more likely a heater sensor or pcb fault.
Sounds like the door lock may be faulty or it isn't closed fully. If it has a child lock check you haven't set it by mistake, you have to hold the start for 5 secs+ to override it.
