What we fix
Common Bosch problems.
Pick your Bosch appliance. Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
E17, filling too slowly
Tap half closed, a blocked inlet filter or a failing inlet valve.
Not draining
Water left in the drum, or a code like 5C, OE or E18. Usually a blocked filter, hose or a worn drain pump.
E15 and the tap symbol
The anti-flood switch has tripped because water is in the base. We find the leak and dry it out.
E24 or E25, won’t drain
A blocked filter, drain hose or something stuck under the pump cover.
Not draining
Water left in the bottom from a blocked filter, drain hose or pump.
Fan oven not heating
The fan element or the fan motor. We test both and replace the failed part.
Not heating
A burnt-out element, thermostat or selector switch. On gas ovens, the igniter or valve.
Uneven baking
A failed fan motor or fan element, or a thermostat reading the wrong temperature.
Induction zone not working
A cooling fan, power board or coil fault on Bosch induction hobs.
Burner won’t light
Blocked jets from spills, a wet or cracked igniter, or a faulty spark generator.
Clicks but no flame
The spark is there but gas isn’t reaching the burner: jets, valve or supply.
Not cooling
Low gas from a leak, dusty condenser coils, a failed fan, thermostat or start relay.
Gas refilling
We find and fix the leak first, then pull a vacuum and refill with the right gas for your fridge.
Ice build-up
Frost on the back wall or around the fan points to a defrost heater, sensor or timer fault.
No heat
A blown thermal fuse, failed heater or thermostat.
Drum not turning
A snapped drum belt or a worn motor or idler pulley.
Takes too long
Blocked lint filter, vent hose or condenser, or a weak heater.
Runs but doesn’t heat
A failed magnetron, high-voltage diode or capacitor.
Sparking
A burnt waveguide cover or damaged cavity paint. Stop using it until it’s fixed.
Turntable not turning
A worn turntable motor or coupler.
For a Bosch dishwasher showing E15, don’t tip it to drain the base. Switch it off and call us: the leak that tripped the switch needs finding first.

Questions
Bosch questions.
Still not sure? Call 0725 570 499 or send a photo of the fault on WhatsApp.
Do you repair Bosch dishwashers showing E15?
Yes. E15 means water has collected in the base. We find the leak (often a seal, hose or sump), fix it and reset the anti-flood switch.
Are Bosch appliances worth repairing?
Almost always. Bosch washers, dishwashers and ovens are built well, and most faults are a pump, element, seal or sensor.
How much does Bosch repair cost in Nairobi?
The diagnosis is free. The technician finds the fault on your Bosch washing machine, tells you the full price for parts and labour, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Can you repair my Bosch washing machine today?
Most bookings in Nairobi and Kiambu get a same-day visit. Common Bosch parts travel in the van, so many repairs are finished on the first visit.
Do you use genuine Bosch parts?
We fit genuine Bosch parts wherever they are available and tell you clearly when only a compatible part exists. Every repair carries our warranty.
Are you an official Bosch service centre?
No. HomeFixit is an independent repair company and is not affiliated with Bosch. If your Bosch appliance is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, contact the seller first; once it is out of warranty, we can help.
