    Hi All,
    I have a problem with my Bosch Logixx7 washing machine,

    It Flashes START/PAUSE & 400/SPIN/END at the same time together with a peeping sound.

    I have replaced the motor brushes & fitted a new drain pump.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    well Bosch fault codes are hard to get

    next thing i would check is the thermistor

    how does the fault present

    turn on fault there
    or
    turn on set programme and fault only there after pressing start

    does the door lock ?

    where do i find the thermistor & how do i check it?

    start a program the door locks & machine washes (quite violently) but wont spin thats when fault code arrives.

    Ah you may have something

    would you say it tries to go into spin while full of water. Is it that violent ?

    when washing the drum is not rotating fully & it is violent, the water is pumped out but it will not go into spin. thats when lights flash but the pump is constantly running.

    that sounds like the tacho on the motor is not feeding back to the timer

    you would need to test the motor tacho output is there

    the tacho is a spinning magnet in the motor that turns in a coil. this generates a small ac voltage that feeds back to the board. if this voltage is not there the module assumes the motor is stationary and accelerates it

    am thinking the magnet may have split which is part of the motor

    well i assume from what your saying that before it would start and run violently but now it wont run

    sounds like it needs resetting and there is a safety lockout on motor problems. It wont cure the original problem but it will get it going again

    you can search for bosch resets and see what you find. would need to see control panel to try to guess which proceedure may work

    I have done the reset.
    when you select any program it now locks the door, fills with water but does nothing else. You can hear the control panel clicking but nothing happens.
    thanks Roger

    thats means its a motor fault of some kind


    still think the voilent movements are the start of it
    its possible its blown a circuit board track through high current flowing when the motor was speeding

    to go from here depends on the tools you have and skill level

    iam an engineer by trade with plenty to tools, so skill level isnt a problem.
    Do you think the motor needs replacing or repairing?
    Thanks
