How to open Bosch washing machine filter?

To open the filter on a Bosch washing machine, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source for safety.
2. Locate the filter access panel, which is usually located at the bottom front of the machine. It may be labeled or have a small handle or notch to help you identify it.
3. Use a flathead screwdriver or a coin to turn the filter access panel counterclockwise. This will loosen it and allow you to remove it.
4. Once the panel is loose, pull it out gently. Be prepared for some water to come out, so it’s a good idea to have a towel or bucket handy to catch any spills.
5. Inside the filter access panel, you will find the filter itself. It is typically a round or rectangular piece that can be pulled out or twisted to remove.
6. Carefully remove the filter and inspect it for any debris or blockages. Clean the filter thoroughly using warm water and a soft brush or cloth. Make sure to remove any lint, hair, or other debris that may have accumulated.
7. After cleaning the filter, place it back into the filter access panel. Ensure it is properly aligned and securely in place.
8. Reattach the filter access panel by turning it clockwise until it is tight and secure.
9. Plug the washing machine back into the power source and turn it on.
10. Run a test cycle to ensure that the machine is functioning properly and that the filter is working effectively.
