What does this error code f21 mean?

You wanted to start the wash, but the washing machine drum does not rotate.

Bosch error signals

The washing machine stopped during washing and does not spin the drum.

We check it ourselves and decide

  • It is possible that you have a voltage drop of less than 200 W, which is not enough to operate the washing machine (often happens in private homes);
  • Check if the drum is spinning, rotate it by hand, perhaps a bone got in or another foreign object and prevents rotation.

We replace and repair

  1. There is a short circuit in the engine, repair or replace;
  2. We are replacing the washing machine motor, it has become unusable;
  3. Wear of motor brushes, replace with new ones;
  4. We repair the electrical module or replace it;
  5. We replace the washing machine speed sensor - repair the tachometer.

Caution! A short circuit or electrical fire could occur. Be careful, unplug the washing machine, and have it repaired by a qualified technician!
