Bosch WAT28401UC 2.2 cu ft 300 Series Compact Washer Er:11 Error Fix: No Spin — Imbalance Detected

The washer has detected a persistent unbalanced load and cannot achieve spin speed. After multiple redistribution attempts (low-speed tumbling), the control has aborted the spin cycle. Open the door and manually redistribute the laundry — redistribute heavy items like towels evenly around the drum. Avoid washing a single heavy item alone. If imbalance errors occur with balanced loads, check the suspension system (shock absorbers, springs, counterweights) for wear or failure.
