How Bosch Model Numbers Work

Bosch washer model numbers follow a structured pattern that identifies platform, series, capacity, feature tier, revision, and region.

Bosch uses two major naming formats:

  1. Full-size North American front-load (WGB, WGX, WAW, WAT) Example: WGB246AXUC

  2. Compact 24-inch front-load (WAT, WAW, older WTV) Example: WAT28400UC

This decoder covers all Bosch washers sold in North America.
