Error F23 in a Bosch washing machine is usually caused by a water leak. It can occur at any time during the wash cycle. This malfunction is dangerous because it can lead to flooding of the room. Let's find out the reasons why this code appears on the display of a Bosch device and how to fix the problem.
What does fault code F23 mean?
Code F23 in Bosch washing mashines signals the activation of the Aquastop system. This system protects against leaks. In other words, this means that water has entered the washer tray.
This happens for the following reasons:
- The filler is torn or drain hose;
- The powder receptacle was not installed correctly;
- Failure of the Aquastop sensor. In such a situation, there may be no water in the pan.
Fixing water leaks
If this code appears on the display, you must first disconnect the washing equipment from the power supply and also close the water supply tap. Then you need to check the possible causes of the leak one by one.

It is necessary to check that the powder receiver is installed correctly. Water can flow through it. In this case, the powder receptacle must be pulled out and reinstalled.Next, you need to check the place where the pump connects to the drain hose and pipes.
To do this you need to do the following:
- Disconnect the washing equipment from the sewer pipe and water supply;
- Drain all the water from the washer tray;
- Carefully place the Bosch machine on its side;
- Remove the pallet;
- Get to the pump through the bottom of the washer. Next, check its connection to the pipes and drain hose;
- Replace faulty parts if necessary.
Water leaks also often occur at the junction of the inlet hose with Bosch machine. However, in this situation, water will immediately fall on the bathroom floor. This can happen even when the washer is turned off.
Water can also enter the washer body through the pipe that connects the fill valve and the powder receptacle. To check its tightness, you need to remove the top cover of the washing machine.
Replacing a faulty Aquastop sensor with a new one
If sticking does not occur, then you need to replace the sensor. This job is not at all difficult to do. All you need is a new part. When replacing, the old sensor is disconnected from the wires and then removed from the latches. Next, a new part is installed in its place.
conclusions
Error F23 occurs only in Bosch machines that contain Aquastop system. When it is triggered, the corresponding code appears on the display.
You can fix the problem yourself or call a technician who will do all the work for you.
