How to fix Bosch washer error E60-E69-2
Start with the safest checks and work from simple to technical.

Step 1
1. SAFETY FIRST: Disconnect the washer from both the power outlet and the water supply before beginning any work.
- 2
Step 2
2. ACCESS THE HEATER: Remove the washer's rear access panel by unscrewing the retaining screws. The heating element and its wiring will be visible at the bottom of the wash tub.

Step 3
3. INSPECT WIRING: Carefully check the wires connected to the heating element and the NTC temperature sensor (a small probe usually located on or near the heater). Look for any signs of burning, corrosion, or loose connections. Reconnect any loose wires.

Step 4
4. TEST THE HEATING ELEMENT: Disconnect the two main wires from the heating element terminals. Set a multimeter to the ohms setting (Ω). Touch one probe to each terminal. A good element will show a reading between 15 and 30 ohms. A reading of infinity (OL) means the element is broken and needs replacement.

Step 5
5. TEST THE NTC SENSOR: Disconnect the small wire connector from the NTC temperature sensor. On your multimeter, set it to the kilohms (kΩ) setting. Touch the probes to the two sensor pins. At room temperature (around 20°C/68°F), the reading should be approximately 4.8 kΩ. A significantly different reading or an infinity reading indicates a faulty sensor that needs to be replaced.

Step 6
6. REPLACE FAULTY PARTS: To replace the heating element, loosen the central nut, push it inwards to release the seal, and carefully pull the old element out. Insert the new element, ensuring the seal is seated correctly, and tighten the nut. The NTC sensor typically pulls or unclips from its housing for easy replacement.

Step 7
7. REASSEMBLE AND TEST: Reconnect all wiring securely to the new components. Reattach the rear panel. Reconnect the water and power supplies. Run a hot wash cycle (like 'Cottons' at 60°C) to verify that the water is heating correctly and the error is cleared.
