Bosch Washing Machine E32 / F32 error code
The E32 or F32 error means your Bosch washing machine detected an imbalanced load during the spin cycle. To protect the machine the spin speed is reduced or the cycle is interrupted. The machine will try several times to redistribute the load automatically which extends the program time. Washing large and small items together and closing zippers and buttons on pillows and duvet covers helps prevent this.
Common causes
- Laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum
- Load consists of a single heavy item or very few items
- Large items like blankets or duvets are clumped together
How to fix it
-
1
Open the door and manually redistribute the laundry evenly around the drum
-
2
Mix large and small items in the same load for better weight distribution
-
3
Close zippers and buttons on pillows and duvet covers before washing
-
