Washing machine E16 error

The door is not locked properly

If your Bosch washing machine is displaying the E16 error, it usually means the door is not properly locked. This can be caused by laundry being caught in the door, preventing it from closing properly. Here are the steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Open and close the door carefully again. Press the “Start/Pause” button (the play/pause symbol).

  2. If necessary, open the door, remove any clothing items that may be caught, and then firmly close the door again.

  3. You can also try switching the washing machine off, waiting a few seconds, and then turning it back on. Afterward, set your desired programme and press start.
