Error code F16 in the washing machine Bosch

To prevent water leakage during washing, most Bosch washing machine models are equipped with a programmed door hatch lock function. If the machine is not locked, the washing program does not start. In this case, error F16 appears on the electronic SM display. Models with electromechanics signal a problem differently: the maximum speed indicator (1000 or 800) flashes or constantly lights on their panel.

For both types of typewriters, the buttons do not respond to pressing. What to do in this case?

Self-diagnosis and troubleshooting

• Before you deal with a blocking error, you need to make sure that the problem is with the door, and not with a malfunction in the control system of the machine. To do this, turn off its power for a quarter of an hour. It is possible that after repeated inclusion everything will return to normal.
• Apply a little force while closing the door. Ideally, you should hear a distinctive click. Is he not there? Check if small debris or parts of the garment interfere with tight closure.

If simple methods did not help, you may need repairs. The cause of the breakdown can be both mechanical defects - side loops, retainer, bolts, and electronics are out of order.
