Hi

I've just fixed an electrical issue in my Bosch Exxel 1600 (loose wire) but I can't seem to get the error code to go away and use the machine again.

When I switch on the machine all of the red lights on the front are lighten up and the LCD display is lit but isn't showing any messages or icons.

Does anyone know any way to reset the error code on a Bosch Exxel 1600? Is there a specific combination of button presses?

Thanks

Robert

Bosch Exxel 1600 not resetting after electrical issue

The problem
After a loose wire was repaired on a Bosch Exxel 1600, the machine would power up with all front red lights illuminated and the LCD backlit but showing no messages or icons. The user wanted to know if there was a button sequence to reset an error code.
Likely cause
The accepted reply says this does not sound like a stored error code needing reset. The most likely cause suggested was a fault with the PCB, the control panel, or communication between them.
What fixed it
No reset procedure was confirmed. The accepted advice was that error codes normally clear once the underlying fault has gone, so further diagnosis by an engineer was recommended rather than trying a button reset.
Checks to try
  • Loose wire had already been fixed
  • Machine powered on with all red front lights illuminated
  • LCD display was lit but blank with no messages or icons

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Error codes should normally stop showing when the fault disappears. The symptoms you describe don't sound like an error code, they sound like a fault with the pcb or control panel or communication between them. I would get an engineer in to be honest.
