Hello, I bought the same type and I always face a problem with not removing the perfumed material and liquid detergent even though I put it in the required and correct way and did not mix them. Now it is just water running over the solid material in the third part of the place designated for withdrawing laundry materials. What do you advise me to do to get the washing materials out? The other two articles

Common problem with the iDOS systems. Mine stopped working after couple of years. Detergent drawer lights indicates that its empty, but its actually full. So the pump does not do anything. No way to see what is inside the drawer lid as it is glued on. I suspect detergent crawled up the lid and inside it. The contacts on the lid were also contaminated with detergent residue. Lid does not sit flush with the base, garbage design. Top of the line over 1000 EUR washer that lasts just over 2 years.

How do you remove the mold from the behind the drawer, on the inside of the machine?

Okay good got that thanks, What do I do when the problem is the fabric softener does not work IE-level does not change and the draw has been cleaned out. Do you have some diagnoses info for the pumps in the draw.Thanks.

[vegardbell]

Hey Bosch. My fabric softener does not dose at all. Probably clogged or something. How can I fix this? It has worked for 4-5 years but now it is broken.

[Youtubes-ih]

Mine machine pumps out all of the softener from reservoir, what can be a problem?

[fergusmeharg]

My idos fails to dispense either detergent or softener, under 5yr old WAT28661GB. It does detect when there is no liquids, and when either is selected, it will give a E-00 error at end of wash (plus a E-10 if i attempt to open dispenser drawer) Have cleaned everything, incl unscrewing the housing for the 2 motors and turning the little cogs. Given that an engineer would cost €100 and this replacement part would cost over €200, is there any other option. Doesnt seem this part can be disassembled and reassembled either and is a big point of failure/defect

Hello,

I have an error E10 on my IDOS system. Could you help me ?

It's a WAT28619FF

Thanks !

[trollalolin]

These are a pain to clean especially when you get black mould

[tawees]

Hi guys, need some help . I own bosch i-dos and didn’t use softener (by turn i-dos off). but when I open the softener compartment, it contain fews of water inside every wash. What happened ? Any idea to solve this problem

[Christychristinakamburi]

fabric softener doesnt work from first year now 3 years still never worked cleaned all nothing so furious

[byteseq]

Maybe if you illistrated this by actually cleaning a not-brand-new drawer

[gimmeesbas]

Hi, we experience E81 + 3 beeps as well on our Siemens WM16W692NL. All I hear is that someone has to come by. But reading this it is a general problem. Since it generates an error-code, I assume Bosch/Siemens knows what the problem is. Why els would you generate a code if you still don't know what is the issue.

Can someone please confirm that replacing part 11018807 (the lit with the sensors) is the solution?

[mustafagk]

Bizim şansımız türkiye de böyle tıpa yok deterjan çöpe gidiyor çekmeceyi yıkarken 🤧😔

[monmai]

IDOS SYS doesn't work . The pump doesn't do anyting.

[jennychrysanthou]

Worst washing machine ever. The system broke from the very beginning and costs so much to change it and actually doesn’t really calculate the liquids, the company who sells the washing machine determine how much liquid takes every time and even if you change the drops still consume the same amount of the detergent. I don’t recommend it.

[alisonjordan]

We did this but when we put it back together the top isn’t as tight and now doesn’t seem to dispense the liquids like it did. We seem to be filling it up more now or could this be another issue. We don’t get any error messages just the washing doesn’t always seem to smell fresh after a wash, anyone reading this got any ideas please. Thanks
