Error Code: F60 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Flow sensor or pressure sensor error.
How to Fix F60 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the washer from power and water sources. Turn off the water supply valves and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove the top panel of the washer to access the internal components. This is typically held in place by screws at the back.
- Locate the water inlet valve at the back of the machine where the water hoses connect. Disconnect the wire harnesses and hoses, then remove the screws holding it in place and replace it with the new valve.
- The pressure sensor is usually connected to the control board via a small tube. Inspect the tube for any blockages or damage and clear or replace it as necessary.
- To replace the control board, carefully label and disconnect all wire harnesses connected to it. Remove the mounting screws and gently lift the old board out.
- Install the new control board, ensuring all wire harnesses are securely reconnected to their correct terminals. Re-secure the top panel.
- Reconnect the water hoses and power cord. Turn the water supply on and run a test cycle to ensure the error is cleared.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
What to Check Next on This Bosch Washer
Bosch Washer Error F60: Use the code or symbol as the starting clue, then confirm the actual symptom before ordering parts.
- Unplug the washer before touching wiring, the lock, the pump area, or the control panel.
- Check the door lock, drain filter, inlet supply, and visible harness connections before replacing controls.
- If the code returns during the same part of the cycle, match the repair path to that stage: fill, wash, drain, spin, lock, or control response.
If the issue returns after these checks, match replacement parts to the complete Bosch model number from the appliance tag. The same code can point to different components depending on the exact model and when the failure appears.
