# Bosch error code E32

### What this one means

The load is unevenly distributed and the spin has been reduced or stopped. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.

### The other ways your machine may say it

The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance:

- **E32, F32, H:32** — the same condition, on machines of different ages

### What the code covers

A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:

- One heavy item on its own
- Items bunched inside a duvet cover
- A machine that is not level

### What to try yourself

- Open the door and redistribute the laundry
- Wash large and small items together
- Close zippers and buttons on covers so nothing balls up inside them

### Then what

This is protection rather than a repair: the machine slows down, tries again and extends the cycle to avoid shaking itself apart. On a 24-inch drum it happens far more readily than on a full-size machine.

This code is published for washers. The [full list of codes](https://boschmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
