The F36 code on the panel of the Bosch washing machine indicates that the sunroof lock module is faulty. In this case, no running program starts, and an error lights up on the display. To solve the situation, it is necessary to check the door for possible mechanical damage. In some cases, accidents can be avoided by home methods without resorting to the services of a master.

Where to start the diagnosis?
Let's start with a few simple steps:
- Carefully open the door and make sure that the laundry is fully loaded in the drum and that the pieces of fabric do not block the lock. It is also possible that small debris interferes with the movement of the mechanism. Carefully check if this is the reason, and then try to lock the lock again;
- Inspect the tongue. He could trite out of the mechanism and therefore no longer blocks the hatch. It may be possible to simply put it back, but it is possible that a complete replacement of the locking device will be required;
- Verify that the wiring that powers the interlock is not damaged.
Diagnosis did not help to quickly solve the problem? Then you need to repair and replace components. The cause of the accident may be one of the following details:
- Device that responsible for locking the door;
- Hinges on which the door is mounted;
- Castle or its separate parts;
- Control unit.
Most often, the F36 error is "treated" by replacing the mechanics, but problems with the electronics are not excluded. If it was not possible to solve the problem by simple means, we advise you not to delay the visit to the master.
