Washer shows F29, often related to water flow or flow meter issues

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty flow meter (if fitted in inlet valve), clogged inlet filters, low water pressure, wiring fault to flow sensor

Safety first: Turn off water and unplug the washer.

Clean inlet filters and check pressure: As described for F10, clean mesh filters and verify good water flow from the tap.
Inspect flow meter: On some Bauknecht models, the flow meter is integrated into the inlet valve body. Check the small sensor connector and wiring for damage.

Persistent F29: Replace the water inlet valve/flow meter assembly. If the error remains, the control board input may be faulty.
