Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal inspection.

  • 1. Check load: Ensure you are not overloading the drum. Remove some items and try a spin-only cycle.
  • 2. Inspect suspension and weights: Remove the top and rear panels. Check that the concrete counterweights are secure and that the suspension springs and dampers are intact and not leaking oil.
  • 3. Imbalance sensor: Some Bosch models use a sensor on the tub or chassis. Inspect its wiring and mounting. Replace if damaged.
  • 4. Level the machine: Adjust the feet so the unit is stable and does not rock.
  • 5. If E32 persists: The control board's load detection may be faulty and require professional evaluation.
