Bosch Washer - F27 Error Code

The pressure sensor is reporting invalid water level readings.

Meaning

The pressure sensor is reporting invalid water level readings.

The Bosch F27 error code indicates a fault in the pressure sensor system, which monitors water level inside the drum. If the sensor detects impossible values—such as overfilling, underfilling, or rapid fluctuations—the washer triggers F27 to prevent flooding or mechanical damage. This can be caused by a blocked pressure hose, faulty sensor, or wiring issues.

Symptoms

  • Washer stops mid-cycle with F27
  • Washer overfills or underfills
  • Cycle does not progress to rinse or spin
  • Washer drains repeatedly

Causes

  • Blocked or kinked pressure hose
  • Faulty pressure sensor
  • Loose wiring connections
  • Control board pressure circuit fault
🔧

Step-by-Step Fixes

  • Inspect the pressure hose for blockages or kinks.
  • Check the pressure sensor wiring harness.
  • Test the pressure sensor for proper voltage and resistance.
  • Reset the washer and retry the cycle.
⚠️

Safety Notes

  • Do not operate the washer if overfilling is suspected.
