Bosch Nexxt 500 spin cycle

17 years ago

Howdy - proud new owner of a Bosch Nexxt 500 washer, but can't for the life of me figure out how to run a spin cylce only. Don't see anything in the owners manual (though it does tell you to run a spin cycle during installation prior to leveling it), or any button on top. Am I just missing something?

Thanks

    Congrats to your new washer. I have had the Nexxt 500plus for two years now and I like it a lot.
    As far as I know, it is not possible to run a spin cycle only. You can use the "refresh" cycle, which is a short rinse followed by a spin. It doesn't take long and does not use too much water, so it is not really an issue. The sibling Siemens washer has a "drain and spin" cycle, but it is not widely available.
    I haven't had any issues with my washer.
    Hope this helps.

    That's what I ended up doing, was just wondering if there was a spin only cycle...

    Thanks

    Dear Adrienne:

    You are a life/money saver! I have had this issue ever since I bought it. I personally am not a fan. This same issue has cost me over $700 w/repairmen doing exactly what you showed above and still charging me for the visit.

    Best Christmas present so far this year! Many, many thanks.

    Just be careful doing a spin thru the diagnostics as the balancing software is disabled. This means that if a load is badly out of balance it will spin it up to full speed, even if that means broken machine parts. Always watch to make sure that the load will spin safely before leaving it alone, otherwise you could be in for a nasty surprise. Hope this helps.

    Hallelujah, David's secret cord has been found! This has been driving me nuts and Bosch hotline agreed that it's absurd to design a washer without a drain/spin, but they knew of no way to do it. Thanks so much!

    Washer selection knob in OFF position.
    b. Hold the 'Spin Selection' and 'Delay Start' buttons down at the same time.
    c. While holding those two buttons, turn the Washing selector knob to Permanent Press-Cold.
    d. Keep the buttons held down until the LCD control panel reads 'P:01'
    d. Release buttons.
    e. Use the 'Spin Selection' button to cycle thru the codes. Stop when it reads 'P:04' which is the spin cycle.
    f. Press 'Start/Pause' button to begin the spin cycle.

    Thank God for posts like these! I was washing a bunch of pillows and they were sopping wet after the cycle, even on "max" spin! This was a lifesaver!

    Hey! First iI want to say, thank you so much for posting the way to do the diagnostic spin. I ended up with an error code that says d:08 instead of E:08. Does anyone know what this means? ImI'm only finding things specifying the typical error code. I did get this washer second hand recently.

    ...Im not sure what model you have Lindsey bu check the water supply and filter. That code is usually a bad heating element or water level issue. You can also unplug the washing so it resets and see if that helps. Sorry to hear about your issue

    I have unplugged it. Even taken it apart checking all kinds of components to see if iI could diagnose the issue. It's not a draining issue. I cleaned out the filter when I got it before I even brought it inside. There's no blockages anywhere in any of the hoses. I can here the pump working fine. The motor seems fine. The belt is on and tight. The locking mechanism is properly locking and the light turns on. But even after unplugging and doing all of that the error code was still present when I went back into diagnostic mode before I even chose the diagnostic test to do. So, unplugging didn't clear the code ether. It does turn. Just 3 slow turns and pauses and waits a few seconds before doing it again any time it is supposed to tumble or spin. It seems related to whatever that error code means. As you can tell, iveI've been at this for a bit. Can't afford a new washer.
