BOSCH’s guide to finding the model and serial numberChecking the manufacture date
Use the format that belongs to this product family. A printed production date, a supported serial code or manufacturer confirmation can establish the age. Repeating year codes may leave more than one possible year; a model-series introduction date helps narrow the range but does not date your individual unit.
How long does a BOSCH washer last?
Washers typically last 10 to 13 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Replace rubber fill hoses with braided steel ones and leave a front-loader door open to dry between loads.
