Bosch washing machines model numbers explained decode 2014-2022

The production of appliances for clothes care is one of the Bosch-Siemens Group’s main lines of business in the home appliance division. As with all appliances, Bosch washing machines have a model number; you should know that the model number tells you some information about the washing machine.

There is also information in the washing machine’s serial number; for example, you can tell the date of manufacture from the serial number; I talked about this in the article “Bosch and Siemens Serial Number”.

Bosch washing machines can be described as thoughtful, user-friendly appliances. The disadvantages can include the cost of post-warranty maintenance of the devices; in case of a breakdown, the repair cost can reach more than half of the cost of a new washing machine. This is due to the concerned policy to support the product during operation.
