What Er:22 means

Er:22 says the control could not match the rhythm of the incoming mains frequency. Bosch's two service documents differ a little, and that helps: the Nexxt table blames a failing control module, while the Vision manual blames a weak power supply and tells the technician to check it. Put together, the control may not be getting a clean, steady supply. After storms and brownouts around Houston, flickering power is worth ruling out.

Common causes of Er:22

  • Unstable or weak voltage at the outlet
  • Circuit that serves several large appliances
  • Control module trouble in the circuit that senses the supply
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Look at how the washer is plugged in: avoid extension cords and power strips. 2. Find out whether the dryer, a heater or another big load runs on the same circuit. 3. Try a different grounded outlet, if one is nearby. 4. If the outlet is old or warm to the touch, call an electrician before using it.

! Why to stop there
  • Opening the outlet or panel to check wiring risks a shock and is a job for an electrician.
  • Replacing the control module when the supply is the cause leaves the code in place.
  • Running a washer on an overloaded circuit can heat the cord and the outlet.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Er:22Er:22 questions
Could a power outage cause Er:22?

A sag or flicker as power returns can confuse the sensing circuit. If the code appears only after an outage and clears, the supply was probably the cause.

Is a surge protector a good idea?

A good surge protector helps against spikes, but a washer should usually plug straight into a grounded outlet. Check the manual, since some protectors are not rated for motor loads.

How will I know if it is the control module?

If the supply tests normal, the outlet is dedicated, and the code still appears, the board is the likelier cause. A technician can confirm before replacing it.
