    Mold on rubber gasket
    by: Anonymous

    Disappointed in response from Bosch. Signs of mold on the inside of the rubber gasket and the 3 small holes inside the gasket. Called the 800 number but was not satisfied with the response I was given. I was told to replace gasket which is expensive and won"t solve the problem. Asked to speak to a supervisor. Left a message on his voice mail. Never returned my call. POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS!!!

    Mold inside rubber gasket
    by: Anonymous

    Machine working well but have noticed there is signs of mold on inside of rubber gasket and around the 3 small holes inside the gasket.
    Spoke with some one at the 800 number about the problem and she was not helpful at all. Gave me her supervisor's vioce mail. Guess what! Never returned my call!!! Personally I think they don't want to deal with my problem.

    Control panel failure
    by: Anonymous

    This machine was delivered this morning and the control panel has apparently failed before the first wash was completed (error code F43).
    We are insisting that the machine be removed and we are wondering if the replacement will be another Bosch.

    disappointed

    Had washer just over 2 years. Won't start up anymore. Problem is electronic control panel...the repairman referred to it as the "brain" and said it will need to be replaced. This is not normal wear and tear yet I'm faced with replacing the "brain" or getting another machine. Not much of a choice, and after only 2 years of use.

    Bosch compact washer
    by: Anonymous

    Washer stopped spinning at 4 year mark, cost $890.00 to replace control module then motor after it still didn't work. Now 1 1/2 years later stopped spinning quoted $900 to fix. Bosch refuses to even give a discount on new machine they stand by their product only while under warranty. Tough luck to anyone after that.
