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:
-
Full-size North American front-load (WGB, WGX, WAW, WAT) Example: WGB246AXUC
-
Compact 24-inch front-load (WAT, WAW, older WTV) Example: WAT28400UC
This decoder covers all Bosch washers sold in North America.
