73,653. That's how many kilometres I have put on my Gen 3 Performance Line motor, which is now about to be put out to pasture, after 4 years and a hard life, all bearings finally appear close to failure. I shall be ordering a new one asap, they are legit amazing. I am a courier in a very hilly Irish city, with extremely brutal winters, the worst possible conditions for an e-bike, and yet this thing has seen me through 4 years, rain, hail or shine. I am truly amazed, and so is the main mechanic in my local bike shop. He took a photo of my odometer when it was at 50,000km to prove to other people that the mileage is actually possible. He couldn't believe it. He told me a while ago to post about it on the Bosch Insta but I don't use it, so here I am on Reddit to gush about what incredible pieces of engineering these things are. If you are a courier or long hours rider, just get a Bosch equipped e-bike. Ridiculously well built.

Edit: Someone asked me to add that I'm still on original battery, which I'd estimate to have lost about 20% of capacity in the 4 years.

Hi all,

I recently had a Bosch heat pump, furnace, coil and air handler installed. It has happened now 3 times during a storm (Chicago area) that a specific component on the control board fries - see picture. When this happens, the thermostat still works and it will call for cooling, the condenser turns on, but the actual blower fan in the furnace/air handler will not turn on. I was originally told that it was due to surges from the lightning and to get surge protectors installed, so I had one installed on the electric panel and the HVAC company after replacing the board also installed a surge protector at the air handler/furnace power supply. We had a storm two nights ago and no issues but we had another storm last night and the board fried again. Surge protectors show they are green/still working so not convinced it is a surge. We also had an electrician come out to look at our electric panel and make sure there were no issues, which they didn’t detect any.

Looking for any advice on next steps. Don’t want this to keep happening, not sure if the whole unit itself is bad, wiring is bad, or if there’s a larger electrical problem to our home. For context, I live in the end unit of a row of townhomes. Two other homes have similar Bosch systems installed by the same guys and they haven’t had issues.

TYIA!

Purchased this fridge a few weeks back and hasn’t even been 24 hours. Made sure to wait the full 12 hours recommended by the store for the compressor to settle back. Once plugging in the fridge, I hear a weird noise from the external water dispenser and water also slowly dripping after use for quite some time before it stops and does it again after using.

Please look at the video attached to this post. A weird sound can be heard and it happens for a good few minutes, on and off.

I am genuinely very disappointed having to already have an issue without even truly having to use the fridge
yet.

Recently purchased a Bosch Series 8 Washing Machine (Made in Germany) and after a first wash I noticed that water remains in the softener compartment. After removing the tray, I discovered that there is even more water retention.
I contacted the representative to come have a look and he informs me that water retention inside the washing machine IS BY DESIGN!!! When I present my argument so if I am away for a week and do not do any laundry, and mold forms there - then what?
He agrees with me and promised to contact the company to confirm. It is indeed by design.
Does anyone else have this washing machine and is this really by design? Do you have long term mold problems?
I am so disappointed because it was a significant splurge and the whole point of buying it was it would be clean and mold free because I have a newborn.

I got those 2 varieties in a tools outlet store.

Differences are many: -one is made in China (could be legit), another in Taiwan, -but the thing is: teeth and embossings are completely different too. -also the side-holes seem larger vs. smaller (hard to see)

Anyone have insights if the water pressure/pump is too low to spin the arms? Unit is a Bosch 500 Series. Started happening a couple months after the warranty expired.

I've cleaned the filter and arms already.

Why does this hole in my Bosch dishwasher keep filling up with water and not draining?

Edited: Guess I should add the hole is completely full and stinks.

Salut, j’ai acheté un réfrigérateur Bosch neuf sur JoyBuy mais la porte nécessite une pousser pour se fermer autrement elle reste ouverte ou si la pression n’est pas assez forte elle rebondit je voulais savoir si c’est normal, vu qu’il est assez difficile d’en trouver en magasin maintenant pour que j’en essaye une autre est-ce que des propriétaires de cette marque peuvent y répondre merci

I feel like most of my lint just comes out the drainage hose. Is this normal? I’ve had my machine 10yrs, & whenever I check the lint trap there is basically nothing in there. The photo is from many loads (?eg 10) I need to clean the strainer. I am careful with what modes I use & I haven’t been washing anything eg new towels. My machine isn’t leaving lint on clothes it does wash well.

Is this normal for other ppl? I have a Bosch Series 8 from 2016.

I don't know if this is normal or not. Makes like a water slap/swishing sound inside with a slight squeak. Comes and goes. Wash setting Auto, sanitize, crystaldry.

Good and useful tools, need not cost a fortune

During the initial speedup, it gets very loud and washing machine shakes. Bolts are out, ground is even. Should I return?
