Bosch washer dryer stuck on 0.01

It sounds like the programme may not have ended properly, or the controls have latched up after the accidental drying cycle. On Bosch washer dryers, “0:01” often just means the machine thinks there is 1 minute left, rather than pointing to one definite failed part.

Try these checks:

1. Do a full reset Turn the selector to Off, unplug the machine from the mains for at least 10–15 minutes, then plug it back in and try again. Sometimes the control board simply needs a proper power reset.

2. Check for child lock / control lock If the display is lit but you can’t change programmes, the control lock may be on. Look for a key or padlock symbol on the fascia. On many Bosch models you press and hold two buttons together for a few seconds to cancel it. The exact buttons vary by model.

3. Try a drain/spin or rinse programme If the machine thinks there is still water inside, it may refuse to finish the previous cycle. Listen for the drain pump. If it hums but does not clear water, check the pump filter for fluff, coins or debris.

4. Check the door lock behaviour If the door lock is faulty or not reporting correctly, the machine can stay stuck at the end of a cycle. See whether it locks and unlocks normally when you start a programme.

5. If it still stays on 0:01 The likely areas are the control board, door interlock, or a drying-related issue such as a thermostat/sensor not resetting properly.

Isolate the appliance from the mains before inspecting any internal parts. If the fault remains after the above, it would be best to have a qualified appliance engineer test it properly, especially for any mains-related internal checks.
