When you see error F63 on the screen, pay attention to the alarming “symptoms” - the machine may short out or not turn on at all.

Often the error is caused by a power surge. Such changes very easily damage the electronics of Bosch washing machines. Only expensive repairs can correct the situation. To prevent damage, it is recommended to connect washing equipment to an unstable power supply through Voltage regulator.

What will you have to do?

You can deal with the error yourself if it is caused by a short-term failure. When you see code F63 on the electronic screen, try to reset the designation. To do this, turn off the power to the automatic washing machine by unplugging the power cord from the outlet. Let the unit stand turned off for about half an hour. The allotted time will be enough to reboot the main control module. Then plug in the washing machine. If F63 is not displayed on the display, you can safely continue to use the machine. A still-on fault code indicates the need to take drastic measures.To help restore a washing machine with this error:

  • processor repair;
  • work with the main control board;
  • complete replacement of the control unit.

Users who do not have a certain set of knowledge and the necessary tools are not recommended to do the work themselves.

A specialist should repair the electronics of the washing machine. Only a professional can correct the breakdown correctly and quickly.

Indirect causes of malfunction

Often error codes, including F63, may be accompanied by additional failures. It is not necessary that the failure is isolated, there may be several of them, and one problem in most cases follows from another.

Very often, users state that the SM knocks out traffic jams or a machine. This can be caused by many factors, for example, failure of the heating element, electric motor, failure of the “Start” button or control board. When the code is displayed F63, and the washing machine knocks out the machine, there is a high probability that the system protection is triggered precisely because of damage to the control module.

If there is high humidity in the room where the machine is installed, its contacts may gradually oxidize. This will ultimately cause a short circuit, and the automatic machine will begin to knock out traffic jams. After diagnosing the unit, the technician will be able to tell whether the main board can be repaired or whether it needs to be completely replaced.

So, an ordinary user who finds error F63 on a Bosch washing machine can correct the situation by rebooting the equipment. If he has a multimeter in his arsenal, additionally test all elements of the control module with a tester. However, such work requires skill and certain experience.In order not to aggravate the situation, if you detect a code indicating an electronic malfunction, it is better to call a specialist.
