Error code F43 in the Bosch washing machine

Error F43 indicates that the engine is not spinning, as something is blocking its operation. This code is critical, in no case should you continue to use the washing machine if you notice a problem. By the way, other signs may appear: the machine bounces, and the drum rotates at higher speeds. In this case, an urgent need for diagnosis and repair.

What to do first?

Before calling the wizard, let's try to deal with a dangerous code at home. For this:

• Check if the tank is overloaded. It is very simple to accidentally exceed the allowable weight of linen, but electrical technology does not forgive such a thing. Turn off the program, remove some of the laundry and try to continue washing. If the code is missing, then the problem has been successfully fixed. You just have to pay attention to the rules of use, so as not to repeat such a mistake in the future;
• Make sure that something blocking the engine is not caught between the drum and the tank. Even a small object, such as a button or cufflink, may well stop the operation of the entire mechanism. Sometimes the cause of the breakdown becomes larger things: socks, underwear or stocking. Stop the machine, turn off the power, open the tank and remove the laundry. Gently rotate the drum by hand. If something foreign is stuck in the tank, you will hear a specific ring or knock. We also advise you to carefully inspect the gap between the drum and the tank - maybe there is a foreign object.

What needs to be repaired?

If the source of engine blockage could not be detected, probably one of the parts of the washing machine has become unusable. Often in this case they require repair:

• A sensor that detects the number of revolutions;
• The motherboard responsible for the operation of all mechanisms;
• Wiring that leads to the speed sensor.
