Bosch washer producing badly creased laundry

The problem
Laundry was coming out very badly creased from a Bosch washing machine, even on a 40°C mixed load at 800 RPM. The user said it was noticeably worse than their previous AEG washer.
Likely cause
No model-specific Bosch fault was identified. The discussion supported general causes such as laundry being exposed to heat, the machine being connected to a hot water supply by mistake, leaving items in the drum after the cycle, or overloading. The exact cause was not confirmed.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was that severe creasing is not normally associated with a particular make or model. Suggested action was to check fabric type, whether clothes were coming out warm, whether the machine had been connected to a hot supply by mistake, and whether the load was being left in the drum or overloaded. No confirmed repair was documented.
Checks to try
  • Wash run at 800 RPM on a 40°C mixed load
  • Whether the clothes were coming out warm
  • Whether the machine was connected to a hot supply by mistake
  • Whether clothes were left in the drum after spinning
  • Whether the machine was overloaded
  • What fabrics were being washed

Creasing clothes isn't something I've ever known be associated with particular makes of washing machine or even particular models. What spin speed is it, what fabrics are being creased?

800 RPM shouldn't be fast enough to badly crease clothes unless they are particularly delicate. They aren't coming out warm are they? A common cause of badly creased clothes is heat, where the creases get ironed in. In the old days I'd suspect the hot and cold fill hoses were connected the wrong way round, this was surprisingly common and results in the clothes being rinsed in hot water. These days though most washing machines are cold fill only so unless it was connected up to a hot supply by mistake it shouldn't happen. (I often used to find the blue hose was connected to the hot supply and the red hose connected to the cold supply, or sometimes the hoses where connected up "right", but the blue identifier lever was fitted to the hot tap and the red identifier to the cold tap. This means you can't rely on assuming the blue hose is a cold supply and a hot one is a hot supply).

The only other causes of creasing are leaving easily creased garments in the drum for a while after spinning is finished which causes creases (that's why delicates washes usually suspend the laundry in water before the final spin until you are ready to deal with them - crease guard) and overloading.
