Bosch washer/dryer wvti3240 stops wash and displays error code E14. Can anyone help please ? also a full list of the error codes applicable to this machine ..

You can try unplugging it from the power source for 2 minutes and then plug it back in and see if the code clears.

This Bosch looks like a Kenmore HE2, and may be made by the same manufacturer.

In the Kenmore HE2 manual it states:
"F" Variables [F4 to F16] (Electrical problem)
Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle.
Select DRAIN/SPIN if there is excessive water in the washer.
Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains, call for service.

If it's not working still, try asking advice at RepairClinic.com . They have helped me in the past, and they have parts too.

Hi what does an F16 Error mean?

My Bosch Avantixx 6 VarioPerfect smells and therefore the washing smells.Any solutions?

Hi, "F" Variables (F4 to F16) (Electrical Problem) Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN if there is excessive water in the washer. Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains, call for service.

Hi,
The "F16" on a Bosch indicates the door is open / unlocked. If it's happening during a wash it would suggest either a faulty door lock, faulty wiring or worse, a faulty main control board. The wash program should halt when this comes up but you should be able to restart it when the door is closed. As the cost of a new door interlock isn't overly expensive. The best way to fix this problem is to purchase a new lock and fit it.
Thank you !
