Bosch Washer Leaking: AquaStop Protection and Door Boot Seal Fix

Bosch washers have AquaStop - a double-walled inlet hose with electronic shut-off that stops water flow if a leak is detected anywhere in the system. Bosch AquaStop is more advanced than Frigidaire's version: it includes a sensor in the inlet hose itself (not just the base pan). If the AquaStop indicator on the inlet hose shows red (visible through a small window), the hose has detected a leak and shut off water. This can sometimes trigger falsely from condensation in cold laundry rooms. To reset: unplug the washer, disconnect the inlet hose, drain any water from the hose, reconnect, and plug in. Bosch door boot seals use a higher-grade silicone than consumer brands and last longer, but they can still collect debris in the fold. The Bosch-specific leak: the detergent dispenser tray has a siphon mechanism that can clog with dried detergent, causing water to overflow from the dispenser during fill.
