How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before using any manual release.

  • Wait a few minutes: Many Bosch models have a built-in delay before unlocking. Wait 2–3 minutes.
  • Check for water: If water is visible, run a drain/spin program or manually drain via the pump filter.
  • Use emergency release: Access the manual door release near the pump filter and gently pull to open.
  • Replace lock if recurring: If the problem repeats, replace the Bosch door lock assembly.
