Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Bosch WAB20268ZA below.

What temperature should I use for my laundry?

The washing label of your garment shows the recommended washing temperature.

Do I need to use an anti-scaling agent for my washing machine?

It is not necessary to use an anti-scaling agent. Scale deposits can be prevented by limiting washing at high temperatures and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

How do I prevent my washing machine from smelling?

Unpleasant odours can be avoided by occasionally washing at 60 degrees and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

How do I troubleshoot if the selected programme on the Bosch WAB20268ZA washing machine is not starting?

To troubleshoot if the selected programme on the Bosch WAB20268ZA washing machine is not starting, you can follow these steps: 1. Check if the speed selected for the programme is too low. Refer to page 5 of the manual for the recommended speed options. 2. If the programme duration changes during the wash cycle, it is not a fault. The programme cycle is optimized for the specific washing process, which can cause changes in the programme duration displayed on the panel. 3. If the spin cycle is performed several times, it is not a fault. The unbalanced-load detection system is adjusting the imbalance. 4. Ensure that there is no residual water in the compartment for care products. This is not a fault, and it does not affect the action of the care product. Clean the insert if necessary, as described on page 10 of the manual. 5. If there is an odor formation in the washing machine, run the Cottons 90°C programme without laundry using standard detergent. If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the issue persists, it is recommended to contact the after-sales service for further assistance.

What should I do if the temperature or spin speed options are not working properly on the Bosch WAB20268ZA washing machine?

If the temperature or spin speed options are not working properly on the Bosch WAB20268ZA washing machine, you can try the following steps: 1. Check if the childproof lock is activated. To deactivate the childproof lock, press and hold the Start/Pause button for approximately 5 seconds. 2. Ensure that the water supply tap is fully turned on and that the water pressure is not too low. Check for any kinks or blockages in the water supply hose. 3. Clean the filter and detergent solution pump if they are blocked. Refer to page 10 of the manual for instructions on how to clean these components. 4. Check if the drainage hose or waste pipe is blocked. Clean the drainage hose at the siphon if necessary. 5. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, turn off the washing machine, wait for 5 seconds, and then turn it back on again. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact the after-sales service for further assistance. Please note that these troubleshooting steps are specific to the Bosch WAB20268ZA washing machine and may not apply to other models.

What should I do if the Bosch WAB20268ZA washing machine is not completing the washing cycle?

Check if the water supply tap is fully turned on and that the water pressure is not too low. Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or blocked. 2. Verify that the selected programme is appropriate for the load. Certain programmes have limitations on load size and fabric type. 3. Make sure that the door is closed properly. The washing machine will not start or complete the cycle if the door is not securely closed. 4. Check if the childproof lock is activated. Deactivate the childproof lock by pressing and holding the Start/Pause button for approximately 5 seconds. 5. If the issue persists, turn off the washing machine, wait for 5 seconds, and then turn it back on again. This can help reset the machine and resolve any temporary issues.
