Bosch Washer CL Error Code

If your Bosch washer is displaying CL, this guide explains what it means,
what you can safely check, and when professional diagnosis may be needed.

What does CL mean on a Bosch washer?

Child Lock is activated.

Definitions can vary by model or platform, so compare the code with information for your exact model before replacing parts.

What you can try

Deactivate Child Lock using the instructions for your model.

Before booking a repair

1. Confirm the displayed error code and your appliance model number.
2. Check relevant external issues such as a blocked filter, kinked hose, open door, interrupted power, or restricted airflow.
3. If a power reset is appropriate for the appliance, turn it off safely and restart it once.
4. If the code returns, avoid repeated resets and arrange diagnosis.

Safety note

Disconnect electrical power before accessing internal components.
Do not open sealed, gas, high-voltage, or refrigerant systems unless qualified to service them.
These steps are general guidance and do not replace service information for your exact model.
