Question and answer
Number of questions: 6Hello, I constantly see a "kpszyk" message on the display of my Bosch 4 Maxx washing machine. And the washing machine stops, I don't know what it means.
This message has been automatically translatedI can't open the door of the washing machine after washing. It's a Bosch maxx 4. Until now, everything was fine. I tried another wash and nothing. The indicator light is on indicating "finished". Even when I completely turn off the washing machine with the button and wait, the door cannot be opened. Thank you for your help.
