Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel I'm here to save you time and money and
today it's the Bosch washing machine Serie 4 VarioPerfect model and it's
how to remove the filter at the back on the mains cold water feed, now there's a
really small filter right at the back of the washing machine which catches any
bits of grit and dirt which come in from the mains cold water don't get this
confused with the aquastop filter which is on a different model, that is not in
this video, right let's get cracking, all you're gonna need today is a pair of
pliers and a small bucket or a tray, now the first thing you definitely need to
do is switch off the power of the washing machine and pull out the plug,
then you need to locate the cold water mains feed so just locate that and then
turn this off, then pull out the washing machine as far as you can but just be
careful not to pull it out too far because obviously you've got your drainage hose
and you've got your cold water mains feed hose, if you want to pull the
washing machine out further you can remove that drainage hose from the
U-bend pipe which will just give you a bit better access. There's a link above
now about how to install a brand new washing machine, now if we follow the
path of the mains inlet hose it comes up to the back of the washing machine in
the top corner and this is where the aqua filter is inside here so what we
need to do is just remove that so take your bucket or your tray and just put
that on the floor ready because you will get some water out you won't get a lot
of water out as we've isolated the cold water main supply just get a really
good grip on this and turn it anti-clockwise to remove
whilst I'm undoing that there's a link above now where I review this Bosch Serie 4
VarioPerfect washing machine, just keep unscrewing it and there we go,
that's come away pop that hose into your bucket because it will drip slightly you
don't want that to go over your floor
and the tiny inlet filter the aqua filter is inside there, what you do now
is just take a tissue or a rag and just try and dry off as much as you can
because when it's wet it's really difficult to get a good grip on this
with your pliers, so just try and make it as dry as possible then take your pliers
get a really good grip on the flat end which is just slightly poking out and
what you're doing is you're just pulling it out towards you and just wiggling it
and there we go, now this one looks to be in really good condition what you're
looking for is any bits of grit or dirt or debris in any of those perforated
holes the easiest way to clean this would be with your partner's toothbrush [Wife shouts Lurgs]
or you can just put it in your mouth and blow you know how to blow don't you, just
put it in your mouth and blow so this one's really good we can just pop that
straight back in and there's a link above now about how to activate the
child lock on this Bosch washing machine, this is how it sits in the inlet hose
so obviously the mains water comes in and any bits of dirt and grit which you
do get in mains cold water will get caught by that tiny filter, so just make
sure it's straight and true and just push it home with your finger, now we can
connect the hose back on just do this with your hands you do not want to cross
thread this so make sure you've got a good connection and then just tighten it
up all the way whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about what to
do if the door is stuck on this Bosch washing machine, now what you must NEVER
do is use a tool or a pair of pliers to tighten this because you do not want to
over tighten it, it's only got a plastic thread just do it as tight as you can with your
hand now remember to turn the mains cold water feed back on, I'll just do that
slowly because obviously you get a big surge of pressurised cold water, you're
checking for any leaks and this one is looking pretty good,
now I'm just going to put the washing machine back I've removed the dispenser
drawer just gives you a bit more leverage just be careful when you're
pushing it back not to kink the mains water cold feed hose or the drainage
hose and just check this so I'm just checking the cold water hose and that's
all nice and free, and then you just need to make sure that it's level if it's not
level you can adjust the legs underneath they just screw up and down, I'm just
going to use my spirit level and this is absolutely level superb.
