How to unlock a Bosch Washing Machine

To unlock a Bosch washing machine, there are several methods depending on your specific model. Always check the manufacturer's warranty first and we advise reaching out directly to Bosch, however we've listed some common methods below:

Method 1: Standard Deactivation

• Press and hold the start button for three to five seconds
• You should hear an audible beep
• The key symbol will disappear, and the child lock will be deactivated

Method 2: Alternative Button Combination

• Press and hold the "rpm" and "finished in" buttons together
• Hold for approximately three seconds
• Listen for a beep
• The key symbol will disappear

Method 3: Touch Screen Models

• Look for an illuminated square button with a key symbol and "3 sec" underneath
• Hold the button down for three seconds
• The button will darken
• An audible beep will confirm deactivation

Emergency Door Opening

If the standard methods don't work, you can try an emergency release:

1. Turn the programme selector to 'Stop'
2. Unplug the machine
3. Drain any remaining detergent solution
4. Use a tool to pull down the emergency release mechanism

Important Notes

• If none of these methods work, there may be a fault with the lock
• In such cases, contact a qualified Bosch customer service https://www.bosch-home.co.uk/customer-service/contact-us
