Bosch washer repair: the cheap fix or the expensive one
Most washing machine faults fall into one of two groups, and MyBosch will tell you which one yours is before you spend anything. Blocked pipes, drain pumps, sensors, doors and seals are worth repairing. A failed drive belt, speed controller or motor can cost close to a new machine. We repair Bosch and Siemens washing machines across Sydney, front and top loaders, and give you both numbers.

How we actually do it
We diagnose the fault before quoting, and we tell you which category it falls into — the cheap fix or the expensive one — before you commit. The faults we see most are blocked pipes, drain pumps, temperature sensors, doors, door seals and door handles, and those are all worth repairing. The calculation changes when the drive belt, speed controller or drive motor fails. Those parts are expensive, and the work is complex enough that the total can approach the cost of a new machine.
We won’t talk you into a drive motor replacement on a machine where a new one makes more sense. We’ll give you both numbers — the repair and the replacement — and let you decide. If you do go new, installation is usually straightforward, though older laundries with double taps need a minor plumbing change.
Our 3 step process
Speak with a team member
Tell us what the appliance is doing and we’ll tell you what the fault probably is. If replacing it is cheaper than repairing it, we’ll say so on the call.
Book a technician
Happy with the advice? Book in on the same call. Give us the make, the model and exactly what it’s doing, so your technician arrives with the right tools and parts.
We come to you
Same-day call-outs anywhere in Sydney, with parts already on the van, so most jobs are finished in a single visit. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty.
The five-minute check before you call
Most Bosch front loaders have a small drain pump filter behind a flap at the bottom front. Coins, hair clips and lint collect there and stop the machine draining or spinning. Put a towel down, drain the water out first, then unscrew the filter, clear it and screw it back in firmly. A loose filter cap is a common cause of leaks.

Fantastic service! Sent email enquiry and got a phone call same morning on a Saturday to ask for photos of the washing machine. Service call booked in at time and day I chose. Technician arrived right on time and completed the repair. Both the technician and the original point of contact were efficient and friendly Couldn’t ask for more!
Awesome service from this company. Had a oven door issue. Had taken it off for cleaning and had issue with getting the darn thing back on. The gentleman offered that they could get someone out that day, however it was not urgent so left for Monday. Initial inspection identified a part needed. The communication from the technician John was excellent, on time and texted me when on the way. Part was in quicker than quoted and repairs completed efficiently by John. Again, his communication could not have been better. Thank you John! Highly recommend this company for efficiently solving my issue and just great customer service.. Regards Robert
We called Kit today and he arrived within an hour, fixed my washing machine, cleaned up after himself was so friendly and very professional. I would not hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend him...big thumbs up from us for service.
I got my washing machine repaired by them. They are very punctual & having excellence in their work. You can contact later also if you feel something went wrong. Available on weekend as well. Highly recommended.
Frequently asked questions
Why won’t my Bosch washing machine spin?
Often it’s the load, not the machine. A single heavy item like a bath mat can’t be balanced, so the machine won’t spin it — add a couple of towels and try again. If water is still in the drum, it can’t spin until it drains. If it drains but still won’t spin, the drive belt, motor or speed controller is the likely cause.
Why is my Bosch washing machine not draining?
Usually something is blocking the way out. Coins, hair clips and lint collect in the drain pump filter, and the outlet hose can kink behind the machine. Check both first. If the filter is clear and the hose is straight, the drain pump itself may have failed — and that’s a repair worth doing.
Is it worth repairing a Bosch washing machine?
It depends which part has failed. Blocked pipes, drain pumps, temperature sensors, doors, door seals and handles are all worth repairing. A failed drive belt, speed controller or drive motor is different — the total can approach the cost of a new machine. We’ll give you both numbers on the phone and let you decide.
Why is my Bosch washing machine leaking from the bottom?
Start with the drain pump filter cap at the bottom front — if it wasn’t screwed back tightly after cleaning, it will leak. Then check the inlet hose and the tap connector behind the machine. If water is coming from around the door, the door seal is likely worn or torn, which is a straightforward repair.
Why won’t my Bosch washing machine start?
Check that the door is pushed shut until it clicks, the tap is on, and child lock isn’t set. If the display lights up but nothing happens, the door lock may not be engaging — the machine won’t start a cycle until it does. If there’s no power at all with the plug switched on, the fault is electrical and needs a technician.
Why is fabric softener left in the drawer?
A softener compartment that won’t empty is usually blocked. Softener is thick, and it builds up around the small siphon cap in the drawer until water can’t carry it through. Pull the drawer out, take the cap off and rinse both in warm water. If the whole drawer fills with water, the water inlet may be blocked too.
What does E18 mean on a Bosch washing machine?
E18 means the machine couldn’t pump its water out in the time it expected. The usual causes are a blocked drain pump filter, a kinked or blocked outlet hose, or a blocked waste pipe. Clear the filter and check the hose first. If E18 comes back after that, the drain pump may need replacing.
Can you repair a Bosch washer dryer?
Yes, we repair the washing side of Bosch washer dryers — the same drain pumps, door seals, belts and motors as a standard washing machine. Tell us the model and what it’s doing when you call, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a fault we can fix.
How much does a Bosch washing machine repair cost?
Your technician confirms the price before any work starts. Most of the cost comes down to the part: a drain pump, sensor or door seal is a much smaller job than a drive motor or speed controller, which can come close to the price of a new machine.
Which Bosch washing machines do you repair?
All of them — front and top loaders, domestic and commercial, including current Serie 2, 4, 6 and 8 machines and older Classixx, Maxx, Logixx and VarioPerfect models. We also repair Siemens washing machines and every other major brand.
