Error Code: MEMORY PROGRAMME SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: You can save a selected programme with your favourite settings.
How to Fix MEMORY PROGRAMME SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Understand that this symbol means you can save a frequently used wash cycle with all its specific settings.
- To save a program, first select the desired wash cycle (e.g., Cottons, Delicates).
- Adjust all the settings you want to save, such as temperature, spin speed, and any extra options like ‘Extra Rinse’.
- Press and hold the ‘Memory’ or a similarly labeled button (often indicated by this symbol or a star) for about 3 seconds.
- The machine will typically beep or flash the lights to confirm that the program has been saved.
- To use your saved program in the future, simply turn the machine on and press the ‘Memory’ button once to recall your custom settings.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
What to Check Next on This Bosch Washer
Bosch Washer Error MEMORY PROGRAMME SYMBOL: Use the code or symbol as the starting clue, then confirm the actual symptom and cycle stage before ordering parts.
- 1. Unplug the washer before opening panels, touching wiring, or reaching near the drain pump, door lock, inlet valve, motor, or control area.
- 2. Verify the simple cause first: check the door latch, load balance, detergent level, inlet water flow, drain filter, hose position, and anything blocking the cycle stage shown by the code or symbol.
- 3. Clean accessible filters and hose screens, remove debris from the pump area when the model design allows it, then reconnect anything that was loose before running another test cycle.
- 4. Test the washer during the same fill, wash, drain, spin, lock, or control step where the warning appeared; measure voltage or resistance only if you are equipped to do that safely.
- 5. Inspect the matching part path instead of guessing: door-lock issues point toward the latch circuit, drain symptoms toward pump or hose restrictions, fill symptoms toward inlet supply, and control-response symptoms toward wiring or board checks.
- 6. Replace a part only after the symptom repeats and the model-specific checks point to that part category. Match any replacement to the complete Bosch model number on the appliance tag.
If the issue returns after these checks, match replacement parts to the complete Bosch washer model number from the appliance tag. The same code can point to different components depending on the exact model and when the failure appears.
