Bosch Axxis WFL 2060 Front Load Washer - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Where do you add bleach?
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Methinks you could do with a manual- for now and probably later!
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct ;-0)
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

I have a bosch axxis
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
A quick and easy way to find out which tray is which is to pull the detergent drawer out just so that you can see into it. Start a pre-wash and see where the water runs in, then advance to the main wash and observe. Finally start a rinse cycle and where the water goes in is where the conditioner/softener goes.
In a few cases I have come across, the pre-wash tray shares with the conditioner/softener part but the pre-wash powder goes in the front and the softener in the back.
Now, methinks you could do with a manual- if not for now, for later!

Bosch WFL 2060 makes loud
Hello,
Welcome to FixYa.
Based on what you`re describing you need a major ocerhaul...or at the very least a rear bearing and inner basket assembly.
This is a major job any way you slice it, however if you want to attempt or are capable of performing the repair I can send you a complete service manual via email.
That means you`ll need to reply to me here and post your email address and I`ll send it in a "pdf" attachment.
I would recommend an authorized B/S/H/ service provider though as it is quite involved, but that`s not my place to say if you feel you can do it.
The part`s are...
# 215113 - Inner Drum/Basket
# 236013 - Outer - rear tank/tub assy.
you could try to replace individual bearings and the seals, but believe me it won`t save you much because either way the inner drum is going to be shot, specifically the spindle, and by the time you try to repair all that you may a well have done the outer tub & basket routs.
Let me know how you make out. Like I said I can send you the info on "how to" but you`ll need to do the work or hire a pro.
Good luck.

Bosch Axxis WFL2060UC/01 FD8205 won't spin
hiya
by elecrical sound i take it you mean a buzzing sound, if so it sounds like your pump is jammed. on the front of your machine their will be a plastic kick plate, if you remove this (carefully) you will find the pump filter, this catches all the debris from the water during the wash (coins,bra wires etc). you can remove this by turning it anti clockwise then pulling it out. remove any obstructions whiich may be lurking in there and also check inside the pump housing as things can get stuck behind the pumps fan then refit the filter.
you may need some old rags whilst you carry out this job as there may be water left i the pipes when you remove the filter.
hope this helps
please dont forget to rate the helpfulness of this reply, thanks kj
I have a Bosch WFL2061
Hi marc709, il start off by saying WOW! thats an awsome stint for a washer:) on a more sad note the ticking noise you can hear is most likely the power control module. Due to constant wash cycles and electrical switching the machine produces over the years can cause an electrical breakdown in the power supply. As much as id hate to say it mate your better off cutting ur losses now and buying a new or second hand recondition appliance as buying a new power control module would set you back the same amount in price as a new unit and even if you did find a power supply for a reasonable price, (murphy's law) replace a part and be prepared to replace something else, thumbs up if this helps thanks.
I have BOSCH WFL 2061
Hi vladimir luk, I would suggest testing out the balance of the machine to make sure it is level. Firstly grab the top front corners of the machine with each hand and give it good shake if ok then produceed with using a "level tool" to finalize the surface of the ground. In some cases due to the shear weight of the frontloader machines and the amount of viabration they can produces over the years they can sometimes leave deep uneven imprints from the feet especially on vinyl floors and if the machine is on solid ground the machines feet can sometimes become very loose and can contribute to the umbalancing of the machine. Next step would be to open the front washing machin e door and physically spin and rotate the bowl, if the bowl sounds like sand paper rubbing up against wood or has a very high pitch whistling sound then its most likely the machines bearings that are going to fail! Replacing bearings can be a nightmare so I would suggest calling up a local technician to do the job, thumbs up if this helps thanks.
Can I get the circuit

You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer repair manual' and you may be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct but sometimes manufacturers only supply 'technical' manuals/diagrams to their own engineers ;-0)

Fabric Softner tray is full of water and won't
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This is a common problem with many machines.
I suspect that it is the conditioner/softener tray which needs a thorough clean, paying particular attention to the sentences in
BOLD ;-0)
-------------------------------------
Remove the complete drawer. To do this you will have to do one of the following-
- Top catch-
push down the lip/catch at the middle rear and pull the drawer out (that's how our Bosch one is removed)
- release the catches underneath (our daughter's Indesit) or
- lift upwards on the tray as it is coming out to clear the lip underneath.
One of these should enable you remove it
(I am having to guess some of the following!)
Once out identify which tray is for the conditioner- the others are simply 'chutes' and open-ended.
It will normally have some sort of cover over it which you must remove to expose the little stuck up pipe/tube. On some models there is just a small individual cap over the tube. The tube is down which the conditioner and water should siphon. It is likely to be blocked by 'gunge'- a mix of powder and conditioner. The whole of the tray, particularly this pipe and the bit which fits over it, must be completely clean and clear for it to operate correctly. It is worthwhile checking fairly regularly.

The washer washed after it
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Sorry, this forum is not able to supply any type of manual, installation instructions, electrical or schematic diagrams direct; it's just made up of ordinary guys and gals, probably at home and from all over the world, with experience of addressing problems and giving guidance for free on the web ;-0)
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount. During the process you will be asked for the actual model number!
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct.
Good luck,

Showing F18 and smelling like the motor is over
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
F18 is probably 'pump/ drain out'. I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not go to spin or release the door lock if there is water still left inside.
Here are my complete and general pre-typed (!) guidance notes for checking both the drain filter and the drain motor ;-0)
-------------------------------------
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!
Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!

Set machine to wash; Came home to discover machine
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Bosch F18 can indicate a drain filter/drain pump problem so I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not go to spin or release the door lock if there is water still left inside. The smell COULD be coming from a jammed drain motor.
Here are my complete and general pre-typed (!) guidance notes for checking both the drain filter and the drain motor ;-0)

Spin cycle does not work and clothes in washer
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
It could be that it hasn't been able to drain all of the water in time.
Sorry but I do not know your particular machine BUT I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.

Bosch Axxis WFL 2060 won't
Have you checked for any blockages, in the drain pipe? If that doesn't help you might have a bad pump, here's the part:

My Bosch Axxis 2060 spins
Hi
Remove the laundry from the machine and empty out the water. The water can be drained by simply advancing the program indicator to 'empty'. With the machine empty, start the washing program. Listen for the electric motor that drives it to see if it is spinning too fast. If the motor is running too fast there is the likelihood that a drive belt has snapped or the agitator has come loose in its mountings.Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

The Complete Door of my Axis Washing Machine needs
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would suggest searching on the web for 'local' parts suppliers and/or the Bosch site is/are your only option(s). Sorry. I doubt whether anyone else on this forum would say anything different ;-0(
Good luck,
