How to Fix E57 Error on Bosch Washing Machine
The E57 error code on a Bosch washing machine typically indicates a communication failure between the main control board and the motor control unit. This often points to an electrical fault or a loose connection within the machine's internal wiring.
Understanding the E57 Fault
- The E57 code signifies that the motor is not receiving the correct signals to spin the drum effectively.
- This is frequently caused by a loose wiring harness connecting the motor to the electronic control module.
- In some cases, it may indicate a failure of the motor control unit (MCU) itself due to voltage fluctuations or wear.
Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician
- Perform a hard reset by unplugging the washing machine from the power outlet for at least 30 minutes to clear the error memory.
- Ensure the machine is not overloaded, as excessive weight can strain the motor and trigger communication errors.
- Check for any visible signs of loose or disconnected wires near the base of the machine if you are comfortable removing the access panel.
- Inspect the plug and wall socket to ensure there is a stable power supply reaching the appliance.
Always disconnect the power supply completely before opening any panels. If you are not comfortable working with electrical components, do not attempt to touch internal wiring as this poses a severe risk of electric shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does E57 always mean the motor is broken?
No, E57 is often a communication error. It is frequently caused by a loose wire or a glitch in the control board rather than a completely failed motor.
Can I continue using the machine with an E57 error?
It is not recommended. The machine will likely refuse to start a cycle or stop mid-wash to prevent further damage to the internal electronics.
Is the E57 error covered under warranty?
If your machine is still within the manufacturer's warranty period, internal component failures like the motor control unit are typically covered, provided there has been no external damage.
When should I call a professional technician?
If a hard reset does not clear the error code, or if you notice a burning smell or hear unusual grinding noises, you should contact a certified technician immediately.
