Product Information

Full details

The Bosch WKD28490GB is an integrated washer dryer designed for homes where space is limited, offering a combined washing and drying solution with a focus on efficiency and convenience. It allows users to wash up to 8kg and dry up to 5kg of laundry, providing ready-to-wear results. A key benefit is its AutoDry function, which automatically senses when laundry is dry to the desired level, protecting clothes from over-drying. One caveat is the 5kg drying capacity, which is smaller than the washing capacity.

FAQs

What is the maximum load size for washing and drying?

The maximum washing capacity is 8kg, while the maximum drying capacity is 5kg. Do not exceed 5kg for combined wash and dry cycles.

How does the AutoDry function work?

AutoDry uses sensors to measure the moisture content and temperature of the laundry. It automatically stops the drying cycle once the desired dryness level (e.g., iron-dry or cupboard-dry) is achieved, protecting clothes from over-drying.

Can I use the Speed Perfect option with all programmes?

Speed Perfect can be used with most programmes, all load sizes, and all fabric types. It cuts down the cycle time by up to 65% without compromising washing results.

How do I clean the drum?

Use the dedicated 'Drum Clean' programme, which is usually run empty at a high temperature. The machine will remind you when this function is needed. Periodically running an empty hot wash (above 60°C) also helps.

What is the Reload function for?

The Reload function allows you to add forgotten items of clothing to the drum during a wash cycle. It can be used as long as the water temperature is below 50°C and the water level is not too high, for safety reasons.

Is the EcoSilence Drive™ noisy?

No, the EcoSilence Drive™ is designed to be exceptionally quiet. It's a brushless motor that reduces friction noise, making the washer dryer very peaceful to operate.

What does A-rated mean for washing?

An A-rated washing cycle indicates high energy efficiency. This means the appliance uses less electricity and water during the washing phase compared to lower-rated models, helping to reduce utility costs.

Troubleshooting

Washer dryer not starting

Ensure the appliance is plugged in, the door is fully closed, and the start button has been pressed. Check if the water tap is open and that no programme error is displayed.

Excessive noise or vibration

Check that the appliance is level and stable. Ensure transit bolts have been removed if it's a new installation. Distribute laundry evenly within the drum.

Laundry is not drying effectively

Ensure the drying load does not exceed the 5kg capacity. Clean the condenser filter and check for any blockages in the vent hose (if applicable). Select the correct drying programme for the fabric type.

Water not draining

Check and clean the drain pump filter for any lint or debris. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an integrated appliance, the Bosch WKD28490GB is designed to be built into your kitchen cabinetry. Professional installation is recommended to ensure it is correctly connected to water, drainage, and power supplies, and fitted securely within your furniture.

Care:

  2. Filter Cleaning: The condenser filter and drain pump filter should be checked and cleaned regularly to maintain drying efficiency and prevent blockages. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on accessing and cleaning these filters.
  3. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  4. Door Seal: Keep the door seal clean and free from lint or debris to ensure a good seal during operation.
