Im just trying to determine what size maximum load this machine takes. My parents have one that needs to be replaced as it is past its used by date. I want to get the same size. Thanks
Stuck on RINSE will not reset. Checked drain and not blocked and checked all pipes and run clear water through them - no problem at all. Pump fan spins ok by using a finger. Plugged back in and tries again - again, single light RINSE. How to resolve?
After the final wash the clothes are still wet,do we have to spin dry it again
Hi David, Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAE18060AU. The spin may not be able to run correctly if this happens. We would recommend putting items of varying sizes in the same load to assist with this. If you have tried it, or do and this doesn't change, a service call may be needed to look further into it for you. If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744. Regards, Bosch Home Australia

What year was it made and how much was it worth compared to what it's worth now please?
2018 and is much the same price. If you get one always leave door open when finished to air and dry. Wipe rubber rim after use to prevent mould on rubber. Only uses 65 litres a wash. Pretty amazing. You can also do seperate rinse or spin.
Hi Sarah, Thanks for the question regarding the Bosch WAE18060AU. That model was manufactured back in 2007/2008. We don't have records back that far as to what it would have cost. If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744. Regards, Bosch Home Australia

Have you checked the pump filter to see if there is debris possibly stopping the pump which in turn will cause fault. I had a couple of bobby pins stuck. Hope this helps.
I have the Bosch WAE18060AU/11 Overall I've been pretty happy with it. We recently moved house and during the move the back oval pannel in the middle of the machine fell off. I cant see a logical way to reattach it. It has place for 1 screw at the bottom. I would love to know how to reattach. I cant tell if it is supposed to tuck into the machine or just the one screw holds it in place on the outside.
Hi Jess, Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch WAE18060AU washing machine. Please contact us on 1300 369 744. Regards, Bosch Home Australia
Thanks for getting back to me. I was able to get the issue resolved. For anyone following along at home, you tuck in the top of the oval and the bottom then gets screwed in on the outside.
I have a WAE18060 and I"m finding it very difficult to remove the plug for the pump filter. Is there a trick to this or do I just turn to left by 60 degrees then pull harder?
I also had this experience the first time I attempted to remove the plug. The reason was a build-up of debris. Turn the plug through 90 degrees back & forth a couple of times. Some force may be required to remove it. I used a pair of multi-grips. No damage was done and an amazing array of debris was removed.
Hi! I have had my bosch washing machine for 9 years without any problems but now I find that even though I select cold wash on either cottons or easy care cycles, the clothes come out of the machine hot! The only input of water for the machine is from a cold water tap. Is my machine safe to continue to use? How can I fix this problem?

Contacted bosch. $170 for local callout fee and as expected $500 four replacement board. It's in my best interests to buy a new one. Maybe miele out asko this time?
Hi,
I have just purchased Bosch WAE18060AU from second hand shop. I have tried to use it but it seems not working properly. Sometimes it doesn't drain enough sometimes it does. And do I need to set for drain after wash? Or it washes all and drain both automatically?
Thanks
Hi Winnie, Thanks for your question regarding your Bosch WAE18060AU Washing Machine. The cycle includes both a wash and drain function before the final spin. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact our After Sales Support team on 1300 369 744 to discuss further.

I bought a Bosch front loading washer a few days ago from a second-hand dealer, who has a temper so I'm too scared to ask him anything. I've never had a front loader before and just wonder why there is so little water when a load is put through. My daughter (who swears by front loaders) says her machine fills with a lot more water. Is this normal for the WAE18060AU to use such a small amount of water and does it still clean effectively? Thanks for any advice.
Hi Amba, You should have a reference guide that tells you the various litres used for each washing option as they do vary. Eg. Are you using the quick wash option? That would reduce the volume of water used. I've just sold my machine so no longer have my instructions and to be perfectly honest with you I used to switch it on and walk away so I have no idea how much water should be loaded. All I cared about was that they always came out clean! Perhaps test the different programs to see which best suits you?
Thanks for your reply, Mary G. I have been using the Quick Wash... I don't even know how to change it to another setting. Will try again today, but so far it seems like only a cup of water is entering the machine. Thanks again. :)
Hi Amba , Thanks for your question regarding your Bosch WAE18060AU / WAE18061AU Washing Machine. The cycles are pre set to fill a certain amount of water depending on the load size, majority of the water filled into the appliance fills from the bottom and a small amount will pass over the door or the appliance to show you that water is entering the appliance. Provided that your tap is open sufficiently and the clothes are coming out clean this would signal that there is no issue with the amount of water entering the appliance.

Hi, my washer is 8 years old and I am experiencing my first problem with it. At the end, but not during, the spin cycle it emits a high pitched squealing noise. There is no up or down movement in the drum but I can move it back and forward manually. Closest service people are suggesting not worth repairing. Could you provide any idea what could be causing this problem and if replacement part/s are available as I am willing to have a go myself. The machine has been faultless until now.

Hi Lizie.. Did you have this problem resolved as it is happening it with my machine now?
Yes I got rid of it as I was not happy that it was heating even though it was on a cold wash and not connected to hot water. I have a new machine and it is not a Bosch.
Hi Bosch,
I have a Bosch Maxx Classic WAE18060AU/ 05 and it doesn't appear to be completing it's cycles. It is currently stuck flashing the rinse button and we can't work out how to re-set it.
I've lost my instruction manual and the online manuals only seem to cover set-up, not troubleshooting.
Can you please send me instructions for re-setting my machine?
Thanks,
Georgie

How do I start filling water in Machine as it doesn't seem sufficient for the amount of clothes? Water goes on at start for approx 5 seconds then stops fillin water starts cycle need help asap thx Anna
HI Anna, the water is added at the start to help the machine figure out how heavy the load is expected to be. It uses that data to figure out how much water to use for the rest of the wash. You will notice it uses more water as it goes through the wash cycles. That bit at the start does not represent how much it actually fills up when washing.
It also uses the first few squirts of water to wet the detergent powder.
Hope this helps.

I've had this washing machine for about 5 years now and it washes fine except for the horrible shaking on the Rinse Cycle. The manual says to make sure its level (which it is, I checked front to back and side to side and all is OK) Its on a concrete/tile floor and the machine regularly if not always shakes and grinds when on the rinse cycle.Sounds awful. Doesn't matter whether its a light load or heavy load like towels. Wish there was some way of fixing it. Is any one from Bosch Australia reading this ???

Thanks for nothing Bosch After Sales Support team. All you did was tell me I would need to call an agent. I looked up agents in my area and most of the Google Reviews were very poor. I decided I'll buy a new washing machine and guess what it ?
It wasn't a Bosch or LG. I've had both and frankly they don't last more than about 5 years.
Imagine if your car only lasted 5 years.
Hi- I have a Bosch WAE18060AU front loader that is leaking soapy water......any Idea where this could be coming from? I suspect maybe around the filter area?

I have the same issue, and downloading and reading through the manual doesn't answer the question. Can the Bosch support people give a simple answer please: does the flashing light for spin/end mean that everything is finished, or does it mean the machine is waiting or there is a problem?
