Bosch WIW28301GB Questions and Answers

Find answers or Ask a question.
  • Total questions: 1
  • Questions unAnswered : 1

#1 Does this machine have a rinse hold feature?
On the majority of the programs on this washing machine, you can set the spin speed to 0 and this will then be the rinse hold functionality.

#2 The door doesn’t open after a wash. What am I doing wrong?
We would advise to check that the child lock is not activated. This is advised in the user manual how to deactivate.

#3 I understand it doesn't have a quick wash as such. Can anyone tell me how long a 30 & 40 degree wash would take using the speed perfect function? And the easy care function timings please....just looking for a general indication.
Wash times vary according to the wash load. The Speed Perfect function can reduce the wash time up to 50% again this is according to the wash load. The average washing time for cotton 40C programme (partial load) is 156 min, this will be reduced if Speed Perfect is selected.

#4 Would you able to advise me on what setting is required for the drum clean?
This model doesn't have a drum clean programme. We would suggest you select the hottest wash with some washing machine cleaner placed inside an empty drum
