    I have a Bosch WFF2000GB which always seems to skip the spin cycle and end the program.

    At the end of the program the Pre-Wash light flashes continuously, and I can open the door, but obviously the clothes are still very damp.

    If I then manually rotate the program controller to spin, then the machine spins normally, then finishes, and clothes are then dry.

    Anyone know what is wrong ?

    Sounds like a duff/blocked pump to me.

    Read through your manual, this will tell you how to drain and check pump.

    The pump is clear, as I have checked. Although I have previously found a 20p or pound coin in there before.

    I don’t know where the manual is, as the machine is nearly 10 years old now, and I never read manuals. Thanks anyway. 🙂

    Is there any lateral play on the pump impellor?. If so you will need a new pump.

    There is a very tiny amount of play if I waggle it with tip of my finger.

    Brother in law said it might be the pressure stat. Is this possible ?

    Hi
    Sometimes the float ball in the top of sump hose nearest tank can jam due to crud etc, wortha check.

    As it’s 10 years old, it could be that the water container (connecting the internal drain hose with the external drain hose) it badly crudded up 💡

    When the machine drains it should pump out water at a fair rate, I suspect yours is very slow to drain? Thus the machine ‘times out’ and the Prewash light comes on!

    Just a thought 😉

    YES !!!

    That was it 😀

    I cleaned out the plastic tank as I noticed it did not look very clean, and I also cleaned the sump hose, but that was ok it seems.

    The plastic container seems to have a hidden reservoir. What is this for ?

    I removed the plastic drain reservoir from the machine and flushed it out several times with hot water. There was quite a bit of gunge in there.

    My machine is now working perfectly again.

    Thanks for help. 😀
