Door gasket spring detaches and machine leaks water during wash (WGK252Z0TR)
Owner complaint on Şikayetvar (query 'Bosch WGK252Z0TR sorun'): within the first month the spring inside the door gasket came out; after the gasket was replaced the machine began throwing clean (non-detergent) water out during wash on various programs. The owner reports the issue persisted unresolved for 9 months across multiple service visits, with service calling it normal.
What to check. Before buying, check the door seal fit and ask whether gasket/spring detachment is a known issue on this model; if it occurs in warranty, push for a documented repair or replacement rather than accepting a 'normal' verdict.
Machine tears, cuts and punctures laundry from first use (WGK252Z0TR)
Owner complaint on Şikayetvar (query 'Bosch WGK252Z0TR şikayet'): from the very first wash the machine tore, cut and punctured clothes even at 30°C and 400 rpm spin; the owner reports the dealer refused the return request.
What to check. If you buy this model, test the first few loads with a cheap or sacrificial load to check for fabric damage; a machine that damages clothes from day one is a strong case for return/replacement.
Home Connect app drops out after every wash (WGK252Z0TR)
Verified-buyer review on Hepsiburada (query 'Bosch WGK252Z0TR common problems'): the Home Connect app disables itself after every wash and must be re-enabled each cycle; the owner notes this is not the case on their Bosch dishwasher.
What to check. Treat the app as a minor convenience; if remote control matters to you, verify the app stays connected, otherwise this is a low-cost software annoyance, not a hardware failure.
These reports come from the pages linked under each item: owner forums, repair guides and workshops. They are not a diagnosis of any one unit, and a careful check of the one you are buying still applies.
