Some of the lights on the front of the machine do not light up, the buttons when pushed do not light up or seem to work. The washer makes a knocking noise when you first start the machine,the door has to be shut very hard so that you do not hear the knocking when you turn on the machine (sometimes you have to close the door very hard several times), the washer did not rinse the clothes today, I had to manually turn knob to the spin cycle and then it was very slow to turn not really spinning, finally I took out all the soaking wet clothes and rinsed them in my kitchen sink, what a mess!!!Help!!!I need to fix the machine myself as I cannot afford to call the only certified Bosch person in this area is a known dishonest person. I can replace the electronic panels if this is the problem, what do you think???

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
