You can decipher the code displayed by the “home assistant” on the display by referring to the instructions or finding information on the Internet.

What did you do before?

You can fix a washing machine that displays F00 on the screen with your own hands. To find out the reasons for the error code, you need to remember what manipulations were carried out with the machine in recent days. If you literally repaired the device yesterday or the day before, and today the designation “slows down” the operation of the equipment, then it will be easier to identify the fault. Usually the code F00 occurs after replacing any part of the washing machine or temporarily disconnecting an individual element.

In some cases, F00 appears on the display after a power surge.

Sometimes an error can appear out of nowhere. If the washing machine has not been repaired and there has been no power overload, you can try to “reset” the code. If restarting the equipment helps, then you can continue to operate the machine. But what to do if the manipulations do not give the desired result? If F00 appears again, you will have to look for the root cause of the problem. The control module may be damaged and the board will need to be re-flashed. control module damaged

But you shouldn’t immediately assume the worst. In most cases, you can reset the code and it won’t bother you anymore. Let's figure out how to get rid of the F00 error.

Getting rid of code

In order for the Bosch machine to continue washing in the same mode, you need to “reset” the diagnostic error. It is not necessary to contact a repair center or invite a technician to your home; you can deal with the problem yourself. You need to enter the service menu of the washing machine and reset the fault code. Removing F00 from the display is easy if you follow a certain algorithm:

Simultaneously with pressing the key, turn the program switching knob one click counterclockwise.

After these steps, the automatic machine will “enter” the service menu. The display will display the last code shown by the equipment, in this case it is F00. Resetting the error is extremely simple - you need to turn the program selector to its original position. reset error F00

Then it’s worth checking how the Bosch washing machine will work and whether it can be repaired. If the washing cycle started without problems, and the fault code is no longer displayed on the display, the “reset” can be considered successful.

In the service menu, in addition to “resetting” errors, you can diagnose the main components of the machine: engine, drain pump, heating element, etc. To do this, the programmer must be set to a certain mode and press the “Start” button. For example, on some Bosch models, to check the engine, you should select the “Intensive Wash” program and press “Start”; to diagnose the pump, the handle moves one “click” to the right, etc.

To exit the service menu, just turn the program switch knob to the “Off” position.

If it was not possible to reset the error code F00 in the test menu, then there is a real malfunction.The firmware may have burned out or the connection to some part or sensor of the machine has been broken.
