Worked first time for me. The rpm button doesn't make a sound when you press it. Don't be put off, it is working. Put on spin cycle after reset to check drain is now working.

Yes, this solution really does work on a Bosch Exxcel 7. I had to try it about 7 or 8times, but it did reset itself in the end.
The machine's about 9 years old and has taken a real battering from my family of 5 (3 teenagers with no concept of a weekly wash!).
Next time this happens, I think it's off to the big laundry in the sky for this old trouper!
Thanks for the fix tip...saved me £££ in repair costs!

I have a bosch avantixx 6 and the same process worked for me after I changed the brushes on the motor, I had to do it a few times though but machine is working perfect now with new brushes.
Found what the code was and how to fix it here - thanks guys, for all your help.

I tried this and it worked but when my cycle started it then stops and just counts the minutes down! Any ideas?

Thank you so very much!!!!

I live in the netherlands and the Bosch service people weren't very helpful.

We ordered the brushes and replaced them, but still the lights kept blinking.

I've tried this magic-like trick of your and it worked!

Again thank you very much for saving me an expensive repair guy!

6 o`clock position , press rpm, move one step clockwise,
release rpm, that`s it , worked first time , thanks,
for my countrymen I will write it in Norwegian:
Skru hovedbryter i kl 6 position, press bryter som
bestemmer spinnehastighet, skru hovedbryter et hakk
frem, med klokka, slipp presset på spinnhastighetsbryter, slå av maskinen og så er F21 borte ved restart, mvh OC

Rzeczywscie skutkuje sposob, ktory opisal ponizej Ray!

1. pokretlo ustawiamy na godzinie "6" (plukanie)
2. przytrzymujemy przycisk "wirowanie"
3. przekrecamy pokretlo na wirowanie

Po wykonaniu powyzszych czynnosci wyswietlacz powinien sie zresetowac.

Prosze sie nie sugerowac, ze przyciski nie dzialaja! Ja probowalem 3 razy.

Thanks Ray!
