What dr:10 Means
dr:10 on a Bosch Vision front-load washer means the inverter's power limiter has switched the drive off because the motor was drawing more than allowed. Bosch's causes are a load that is too heavy and mechanical friction, and the remedy list is revealing: check the load, check the oscillating system, and check the gasket. In other words, something is making the drum hard to turn.
Common Causes of dr:10
- Load too heavy for the programme
- Drum bearings or suspension creating friction
- Door gasket rubbing against the drum
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Take some laundry out and try again with a smaller load, then open the door and turn the drum by hand. A drum that drags, rumbles or catches as it turns is telling you the friction is mechanical rather than a matter of how much washing went in.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Bosch's own remedies point at the suspension system and the gasket, which means the drive is reporting a mechanical problem rather than an electrical one.
- Drum bearing replacement on a front-loader is among the heaviest jobs on the machine and often involves splitting the outer tub.
- Running repeated cycles against real friction heats the motor and the inverter, which adds a second failure to the first.
- A gasket that has slipped and is rubbing will also be wearing through, which turns into a leak if it is left.
