Flashing Active Light and not taking fabric conditioner

Hi,

please verify with the product documentation that the flashing-door symbol indicates what you've initially mentioned. Apart from that, you might look for the sensor and hold it in to temporarily overcome the issue. If the door being shut is the issue, pressing in the sensor should fix the issue for you temporarily. If not, then you can work with Bosch or Home Deport to moving forward.

Prior to their arrival, you can power cycle your machine 1 or 2 times and check for the door symbol once more. It could be that they sensor has gone bad for some reason.

Thank you

Try taking out the drawer and washing it our thoroughly. They get clogged up with residues.

Hello,
To clean the vents around your room, just use a vacuum with a brush/hose attachment. If you do not have that available then use a light cleansing agent (mild soap and water) with a rag and scrub the surrounding areas you want to clean. Hope this helps! James

Try taking out the lint screen and scrubbing it well in the sink with hot water and a brush. If you havent cleaned out below the lint screen, get a vacuum and a crevice tool and remove any standing lint as well as cleaning the vent. Bosch lint screens clog easily especially if you are a big fabric softener user.

Hi, welcome to Fixya. Immediately what comes to mind, actually two things. Fabric softner can often be too thick to dispense properly in front load dispenser's unless deluted half & half with water before adding. The other thing is this, it could be the water inlet hoses connected backwards, i.e. Hot going to cold and cold to hot at the washer, hence in the rinse cycle when cold water should enter the fabric softner chamber it doean't. Let me know what you find as I will look for your reply. Thanks for visitng "fixya". Please take a moment and rate this info accordingly but also let me know if you need further assistance. Good luck. Macmarkus :)

Hello,
I dont know what model you have but you are correct in your assumption that the conditioner is siphoned out on the last rinse unless it is different for your model.Most machines I am familiar with operate in the first instance.Check that you have good water pressure to all compartments also get a toothbrush and clean the holes above the drawer even a bent piece of wire to unblock the small holes.

Good luck

Hi,

Compartment 1 is for Pre Wash
Compartment 2 is for Main Wash
Compartment marked with what looks like a star is for conditioner.

Just been through this with our Bosch Maxx, problem was the pump discharge pipe was blocked with soap deposits. I also removed the large black rubber pipe from the drum/pump and cleaned this out as well.
All working fine now.
