What does E18 mean on a Bosch washer?

E18 = drain pump fault. Open the small panel on the lower-front, twist out the pump filter, clear debris. Free fix in ~30% of cases. If filter is clean, the pump motor itself needs replacement — $285–$425.

What does E13 mean on a Bosch washer?

E13 = water inlet fault. Minneapolis hard water silts the inlet screens — pull and rinse them first. If E13 returns with clean screens, it's the inlet valve solenoid, $245–$325.

What does E23 mean on a Bosch washer?

E23 = AquaStop leak detector tripped — water in the base pan, or the AquaStop hose pan sensor tripped. Find and seal the leak (door boot, sump gasket, drain pump, AquaStop hose). $285–$465. Don't reset and re-run.

How much does Bosch washer repair cost?

Most Bosch washer repairs land $265–$525 all-in. Drain pump $285–$425. Inlet valve $245–$325. Door boot $325–$465. AquaStop / leak repair $285–$465. Motor control board $385–$525. The $149 trip fee is waived when you approve the repair.

Do you use OEM parts?

Yes. We fit manufacturer (OEM) parts wherever the brand still supplies them, and we tell you upfront on the rare occasion an OEM part is discontinued and a certified equivalent is the only option. OEM sourcing is why the 1-year warranty is written, not verbal.

Do you offer weekend or emergency washer repair?

We run 7 days a week, 7am–9pm, including Saturdays and Sundays, at the same flat trip fee — no weekend surcharge. For a leaking or non-cooling unit, call rather than book online and we will slot you into the first open window on the Minneapolis route.

How do I pay, and do you take card?

We take all major credit and debit cards, plus cash and check, and payment is collected after the repair is finished and tested — never upfront. You get an itemized invoice by email listing parts, labor, and the warranty terms.

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Yes — background-checked, factory-trained, EPA 608 certified for any sealed-system or refrigerant work, and fully insured. The tech's name and photo come through in your confirmation text before they arrive at your Minneapolis address.

What we fix in Minneapolis

The Minneapolis repair mix

E18 — drain pump fault

Bosch washers have a clean-out filter (pump filter) behind a small panel on the lower-front. Open it, lay a towel and shallow pan, twist out the filter, clear coins / hair / Lego bricks / underwire. ~30% of E18 calls are a free fix at the filter. If the filter is clean, the pump motor itself is failed — $285–$425 all-in.

E13 — water inlet fault

Minneapolis water is ~17 grains/gallon — hard. Sediment cakes the inlet screens at the back of the washer over time. First check: shut off the supplies, unhook the hoses, pull the screens with needle-nose pliers, rinse, reinstall. If E13 returns with clean screens, it's the inlet valve solenoid — $245–$325.

E23 / F23 — AquaStop tripped

Water hit the leak sensor in the base pan. Bosch's AquaStop also has a sensor in the inlet-hose pan that trips if the hose develops a pinhole. Tip the washer back, dry, dye-test. Common leak paths: door boot, sump-to-tub gasket, drain pump volute, AquaStop hose. $285–$465 all-in.

Bosch washer repair in the Twin Cities

We stock Bosch inlet valves, drain pumps and pump filters, AquaStop hose assemblies, door boots and bellows, suspension dampers, motor tachs and brushes, and the common Bosch control boards on the truck. 1-year written warranty.

Field-service notes on washer repair

On washer repair, we keep the diagnostic tight because the failure catalog on this brand is well-documented. Older Twin Cities housing stock (pre-1970 Kenwood, Como, Highland Park, Northeast) frequently has 15A dedicated circuits feeding modern 20A-rated appliances, which shows up as intermittent shutdowns misread as control-board failure.

Because this page focuses on e18 — drain pump fault, our tech opens the call by isolating that subsystem before touching anything else. OEM parts get sourced from Marcone, Reliable Parts, and 1st Source — never Amazon or eBay for anything sealed-system, control, or safety-critical. The $149 residential diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you approve; if you don't, you pay only the diagnostic and we leave a written scope. Every completed repair carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty in writing. The section above covers the specific failure surface — bosch washers have a clean-out filter (pump filter) behind a small panel on the lower-front.

We stock the top-30 wear items for this brand on the truck, so roughly 7 in 10 calls finish on the first visit without a parts return trip. We're EPA 608 certified for sealed-system and refrigerant work, licensed and insured in Minnesota, and every tech carries a factory diagnostic laptop for brand-specific service modes. If the model is out of parts support, we'll say so on the first call and refund the diagnostic — that's the honest read on a repair-vs-replace decision, and it's the same read we'd give a family member calling about the same washer.
