Where is the Bosch WAS24460UC made?
Bosch does not list a single, fixed country of manufacture for the WAS24460UC washer in the product documentation; the most reliable way to confirm where your specific unit was made is to check the rating plate on the washer and compare it with the identification details in the owner's manual.
How to find the country of manufacture on your washer
On Bosch front-load washers like the WAS24460UC, the manufacturing location is typically shown on the rating plate (data label), along with the model and serial information.
- Unplug the washer before accessing any internal areas.
- Check around the door opening and door frame area for a data label.
- Check the back panel if you do not see a label at the door opening.
- Look for wording such as “Made in …” or “Country of origin.”
- Write down the full model and serial number exactly as shown.
What you should expect to see
Bosch may manufacture the same model line in different facilities over time, so two WAS24460UC washers can have different origins.
| What you check | What it tells you | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Rating plate “Made in” line | Country of manufacture for your exact washer | Confirms origin without guessing |
| Serial number | Production batch and factory coding | Helps match correct parts and service info |
| Model identifier | Confirms you are looking up the right unit | Prevents ordering the wrong part |
Why it matters
Country of manufacture does not change how you order repair parts, but the rating plate details (especially the serial number) help ensure you match the correct Bosch components for your washer, such as the electronic lock 00612148 or the washer door boot kit 20007273.

What is the most common problem with a Bosch washing machine?
The most common issues we see with Bosch washers like model WAS24460UC are draining problems from a clogged pump filter, “won’t start” symptoms tied to the door not locking, and loud banging during spin from an unbalanced load. The quickest first check is cleaning the drain system per the owner's manual.
Most common problems (and what they usually mean)
- Washer won’t drain or drains slowly: debris in the pump area or a blocked drain path; cleaning the pump and filter often restores normal draining.
- Washer won’t start or stops immediately: the door is not fully latched, or the door lock is failing.
- Loud banging or walking during spin: unbalanced load, overloaded drum, or the washer not level.
- Not filling or fills slowly: water tap not fully open, inlet hose kinked, or inlet screen clogged.
- Won’t spin: load imbalance, a drain issue preventing high-speed spin, or a motor-related problem.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Redistribute the load and run a spin cycle again (bulky items can throw balance off fast).
- Confirm the door closes firmly and nothing is caught in the opening.
- Check water supply: fully open the hot and cold taps; straighten any pinched hoses.
- Clean the drain pump area (many Bosch front-load issues trace back to restricted draining).
- Power reset: turn the washer off, wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on.
Parts that commonly solve “won’t start” or “won’t drain” symptoms
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for WAS24460UC |
|---|---|---|
| Door won’t lock, won’t start | Door lock system | Electronic lock 00612148 |
| Won’t drain, water left in tub | Pump filter/drain path | Filter 00647920 |
| Won’t fill or fills slowly | Water inlet system | Washer water inlet valve 00611702 |
Why it matters
On Bosch front-load washers, draining and door-lock confirmation are “go/no-go” checks for the control. If the washer cannot drain correctly or confirm the door is locked, it may refuse to start, stop mid-cycle, or skip high-speed spin to prevent leaks and damage.

Can you order parts directly from Bosch?
Yes. For your Bosch WAS24460UC washer, you can order replacement parts from the parts list for this model on Sears PartsDirect, and Bosch also sells appliance replacement parts through its own channels. For correct fit, always match parts to the full model and the exact part ID.
Best way to make sure you get the right part
We recommend using the model-specific parts list first because it filters parts to what fits the Bosch WAS24460UC.
- Match the appliance model exactly (WAS24460UC)
- Confirm the symptom before ordering (won’t lock, won’t fill, won’t drain)
- Compare the part ID and part name, not just a description
- Check whether you need related hardware (clamps, fasteners, seals)
- Use the diagrams to verify location and compatibility
Common Bosch WAS24460UC parts customers replace
These are examples of parts available for this model that often solve common washer problems:
| Washer problem | Part to check | Example part on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Door won’t lock or cycle won’t start | Door lock | Electronic lock 00612148 |
| Washer won’t fill or fills slowly | Water inlet valve | Washer water inlet valve 00611702 |
| Won’t drain, drains slowly, or leaves water | Drain pump filter and drain path | Filter 00647920 |
Why it matters
Bosch washers are sensitive to exact-fit components (especially door lock assemblies, inlet valves, and filters). Ordering by the correct model and part ID helps prevent leaks, no-start conditions, and repeat repairs.
For safety and proper installation details (including grounding guidance), follow the steps in the owner's manual.

How to fix Bosch error 23?
On the Bosch WAS24460UC washer, “error 23” is commonly tied to a drain problem (water not pumping out as expected). We fix it by safely resetting the washer, cleaning the drain pump filter, and then checking the drain hose and pump related parts before running a test cycle. See the owner's manual for model-specific reset and drain access details.
Quick checks that solve most “E23” drain issues
- Unplug the washer for 1 minute, then restore power (basic reset).
- Cancel the cycle and try a Drain/Spin (or drain-only) program.
- Check the standpipe or sink drain for a slow clog (a backed-up house drain looks like a washer failure).
- Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or pushed too far down the standpipe.
- Reduce oversudsing: use HE detergent and less soap; excess suds can slow draining.
Clean the drain pump filter (most common fix)
A clogged pump filter can trigger drain errors and leave water in the drum.
- Place towels and a shallow pan under the lower front area.
- Open the pump filter access (method varies by version); follow the owner's manual.
- Slowly loosen the filter to let water drain, then remove debris (coins, lint, hairpins).
- Reinstall the filter firmly and check for leaks.
Helpful replacement part if the filter housing is damaged or won’t seal: filter 00647920.
Parts to inspect if the error returns
If cleaning does not restore normal draining, we check these common failure points:
- Drain hose for internal blockage or collapse: washer drain hose 00678974
- Door lock not engaging (some cycles will not drain/spin if the door is not locked): electronic lock 00612148
- Drain pump area for obstructions (impeller jam) and wiring connections
- Control issue if the pump never receives power (less common)
Symptom-to-likely-cause guide
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| Water stays in drum, humming sound | Pump jam or clogged filter | Clean filter; check pump impeller |
| Drains slowly, lots of suds | Oversudsing or partial clog | Reduce detergent; clear hose/filter |
| Won’t spin and shows drain error | Door not locking or drain not completing | Check door lock; verify draining |
Why it matters
A true drain fault can leave water sitting in the tub, cause odor, and stop the washer from reaching high-speed spin. Fixing the drain path first prevents repeat errors and protects the motor and control from strain.

Which Bosch washing machine is best?
The “best” Bosch washer depends on your space, load size, and must-have features. If you already own the Bosch WAS24460UC, the best choice is usually keeping it running well with proper care and the right replacement parts, using the cycle and safety guidance in the owner's manual.
How we recommend choosing the best Bosch washer
Focus on the factors that change real-world performance and satisfaction:
- Washer type and space: front-loaders save water and handle large items well, but need door-seal care
- Capacity needs: larger households benefit from higher capacity; smaller homes can prioritize compact sizing
- Spin speed and drying time: higher spin speeds remove more water, reducing dryer time
- Noise and vibration control: important for upstairs installs or laundry closets
- Cycle options you will actually use: quick wash, sanitize/hot wash, delicate, heavy duty
- Serviceability and parts availability: common wear items should be easy to source
If you already have a Bosch WAS24460UC: what “best” looks like
For many owners, the best outcome is reliable cleaning and fewer breakdowns. These are the most common, high-impact areas to maintain on a front-load washer:
- Keep the door gasket clean and dry between loads
- Clean the drain pump filter regularly to prevent no-drain issues
- Use the correct detergent amount to reduce suds and residue
- Check fill and drain hoses for kinks or slow filling/draining
- Address door-lock issues quickly if the washer will not start
Common “best fix” parts for this model (when symptoms match)
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t start, door won’t lock | Door lock system | Electronic lock 00612148 |
| Water left in drum, slow drain | Drain pump filter/clog | Filter 00647920 |
| Won’t fill or fills slowly | Water inlet | Washer water inlet valve 00611702 |
| Leaks at the door | Door boot/gasket | Washer door boot kit 20007273 |
Why it matters
Choosing the “best” washer is really about matching capacity, cycles, and installation constraints to your household. For an existing Bosch front-load washer like the WAS24460UC, routine care and quick repair of drain, fill, and door-lock problems prevents bigger failures and downtime.
