Hi joecci,

It looks like the Door Lock may be faulty, but here is a few things you should consider looking at first:

1) Is the door closed properly?
2) Have you tried giving it power straight from the mains, the door lock needs the correct power before it functions correctly?

I believe one of the above things will resolve the problem, let me know if it does?

Regards

Check the drain pump

I had the same problem. It is the door latch. It cost about $150 to fix. I can't believe the tech didn't know it. It is very common for Bosch Dryers after about 3-4 years old.

not a bad price (poss a little bit high) but i would want to see it running on a warm wash first.

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.

hi sounds like the motor brushs are worn down,some bosch models you can change them without removing the motor ,but others its best to remove it,they just twist out,and to refit use a small blade flat blade screwdriver to tuck tab in,thanks

replace the main board, 

This video will show you how to change a door seal on this Bosch WAA24160GB

You could try a tooth-brush. And after you fill your quantity of softener, top it with water till the exit level of the compartment. You could also check whether water actually pours into the compartment during the final rinsing of the clothes; in this case you should check the inlet pipe screens of your inlet pipe into the machine; which can be done without opening up the machine.
