this error code relates to no turning on to operation, now this can be the motor or the motherboard is not sending the power to the motor or program mode. on an empty load turn the drum round and quickly close the lid and turn on if it comes on then its the motor, ( has a bad spot) now don't ask me how to do this as i don't know i was just told my self. this is from a person who had one of these models.
If your dryer is a condenser type maybe you need to yank out the condenser and give it a good clean. Could not make the model number posted work. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61
Potential causes and fixes:
Battery Terminal Corrosion:
Cause: If your Bosch laser receiver has been submerged in water, the battery contacts and sometimes the circuit board may have corroded.
Fix:
Remove the batteries and clean the battery terminal contacts.
Pry open the bottom cover and clean any corrosion on the circuit board.
Calibration Issues (for Bosch GLL 2-20):
Cause: Dropping the Bosch GLL 2-20 can lead to misalignment and errors.
Fix:
The best way to address this problem is to calibrate the laser level.
You can either contact the Bosch service center or follow the calibration instructions in the manual.
General steps for calibrating a laser level with a misaligned pendulum:
Remove the screws and outer cover.
Locate the pendulum hanging in its stationary position.
Remove the glass window of the laser level.
Adjust the stationary position of the hanging pendulum using the main adjustment screw.
Fine-tune right-left adjustments using other smaller adjustment screws.
Reassemble the laser level.
Cracked Glass Lens (for Bosch GLL 2-50):
Cause: If the horizontal glass lens is cracked, it affects accuracy and safety.
Fix:
Unfortunately, this problem is often unrepairable.
It's advisable to replace the laser level to ensure safe operation1.
Remember to lock your laser level when not in use or during transportation to prevent pendulum movement1. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Bosch for professional assistance or repair
That is the main bearing worn with so much play that a heavy load will stop it going around and normal wash will grind from time to time.
Bosch use very well made bearing so you might get more out of it before the bearing crashes completely.

Motor brushes: The motor brushes may be worn out and need to be replaced. This is a common issue with the Bosch WFK2401UC washer motor 2 . You can check the brushes by removing the back panel of the washer and looking at the motor. If the brushes are less than 1/4 inch long, they need to be replaced 2 . Imbalance: If the load is unbalanced, the washer may not spin at full speed to protect itself. This can cause the cycle time to be cut short 6 . Try rearranging the load and see if that helps. Sensor issue: If the washer is not detecting an imbalance but still not spinning at full speed, there may be an issue with the sensor. This could be causing the washer to cut the cycle short 6 . You may need to call a professional to diagnose and fix the issue.
If you have replaced the drain pump in your Bosch WAE24463 washing machine and it still doesn't finish programs and shows the error code F18, you can try a factory reset to see if it resolves the issue. Here's how you can perform a factory reset on your Bosch washing machine:
Ensure that the washing machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
Press and hold the "Start/Pause" button.
While holding the "Start/Pause" button, turn the washing machine's program selector knob to the "Off" position.
Continue holding the "Start/Pause" button for about 5 seconds.
Release the "Start/Pause" button.
Turn the program selector knob to the desired program and then press the "Start/Pause" button to start the reset process.
Please note that performing a factory reset will erase any custom settings or programs you have saved on your washing machine, so you may need to reconfigure them after the reset.
If the factory reset doesn't resolve the issue and the F18 error code persists, it's recommended to consult the user manual or contact Bosch customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide specific troubleshooting steps based on the model and error code you are encountering.
