Troubleshooting the Bosch Series 4 Washing Machine Tap Symbol
The tap symbol on your Bosch Series 4 washing machine display typically indicates that the appliance is not receiving adequate water. This is often caused by a simple supply issue that you can resolve without professional help.
Common Causes for the Tap Error
- Check that the water supply tap connected to the washing machine is turned fully on.
- Inspect the inlet hose at the back of the machine to ensure it is not kinked, bent, or crushed against the wall.
- Check for a clogged inlet filter located at the point where the hose connects to the machine or the tap.
Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician
- Turn off the water supply tap and unscrew the inlet hose carefully to avoid water spills.
- Remove the small mesh filter inside the valve using needle-nose pliers and rinse it under running water to remove sediment or debris.
- Check your home's main water pressure to ensure there is a steady flow reaching the appliance area.
- Reconnect the hose tightly, turn the tap back on, and run a short rinse cycle to see if the error clears.
Always unplug the washing machine from the power outlet before inspecting the rear connections to prevent any risk of electrical shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the tap symbol always mean a mechanical failure?
No, it is usually an external supply issue. Most cases are resolved by simply opening a closed tap or cleaning a clogged filter.
How often should I clean the inlet filter?
It is recommended to check and clean the inlet filter every 6 to 12 months, especially if you live in an area with hard water.
What if the tap symbol remains after cleaning the filter?
If the error persists, there may be a fault with the internal water inlet valve or the pressure sensor, which requires a professional technician.
Can I use a wrench to tighten the hose connection?
Use a wrench only for a slight adjustment if there is a leak. Overtightening can crack the plastic threads on the inlet valve.
