    hello
    wak28160gb/01 FD9310 showing e21, we have changed the bushes and tried the reset but no joy.

    any ideas?

    1 were the old brushes well worn

    2 when you fitted the brushes did you make sure they are touching the armature as sometimes the brushes are tight in the holders till the last 2mm

    E21 should reset normally even with the brushes not in

    there are a few resets but the common one is

    from off position turn prog dial to 6 o clock (wait 2 secs)
    press and hold the spin speed button (wait 2 secs)
    turn prog dial to 7 o clock (wait 2 secs)
    now release the spin speed button (wait 2 secs)

    now turn knob to off wait 5 secs and turn back on

    if you rush things or go too slow it may not work. Also it does not always work first time

    thanks for your reply, had already tried the same knobs resets many times.

    the brushes were well worn and touching when put back in.

    have now taken the ‘brain’ out and found some soot on it, so have assumed something is fried and have ordered a new non Bosch machine

    I have just had this fault today on a WAK series Bosch. and after changing the worn out motor brushes and still getting F21 I did as Electrofix suggested and I can confirm that this works and clears the fault code so now the machine now works. Thanks very much. I would never have worked that out.
