Bosch WAN28081GB user manual

There could be several reasons why your Bosch washing machine is beeping and not starting:
1. Door Not Properly Closed: Check the washing machine's door if it is completely closed. An improperly sealed door won't let the washing machine start its cycle.
2. Delay Start: You might've chosen the 'delay start' option. If this is the case, the washing machine will take some time to start the cycle.
3. Error Code on Display: There might be an error code flashing on the machine's display, indicating a problem.
4. Child Lock: If the child lock is activated, your washing machine won’t start.
5. Overloaded Washer: If the washing machine is overloaded, it might beep and refuse to start. Make sure there’s not too much laundry inside.
6. Water Supply: Make sure that the water supply is turned on and the hose is not clogged.
7. Faulty Components: A faulty latch, switch, or a malfunctioned motor can also cause this problem. Technical experience is required to resolve these issues.
Consult the user manual or contact a professional if the issue persists.

The key symbol on your Bosch WAN28081GB washing machine indicates that the child lock function is activated. This feature is designed to prevent accidental changes to the wash settings or interruption of the cycle by children or anyone else. To deactivate the child lock, you can press and hold the key symbol button until it disappears from the display.

Yes, you can use vinegar in a Bosch washing machine. Vinegar can be used as a natural cleaning agent to help remove odors, soap residue, and mineral build-up in the machine. It can also help to disinfect the interior of the washer. However, it is important to dilute the vinegar before using it in the machine to avoid damaging the appliance. A mixture of equal parts vinegar and water is commonly recommended for cleaning a washing machine. Additionally, it is advisable to follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for maintenance and cleaning of your specific Bosch washing machine model.
