    My Bosch WFF 2001 stops every time at the spin/pump position and the warning lights flash. I have checked everything according to the manual and there seems to be no obvious blockage. The machine will usually complete a spin if switched off for a few minutes and then restarted on any spin setting.

    Any ideas.

    Warning lights???
    I would suspect a blockage or the pump is wearing.

    Thanks,

    I have cleared the reservoir of a great deal of nasty gunk and checked all other pipes. No more obvious blockages but problem persits. Fault lights are Rinse and Spin lights flashing. So I guess it is the pump.

    Spin + Rinse lamps indicate the pumping period has exceeded 6mins.
    It would indicate a blockage internally or externally, pressure system fault or faulty pump.

    I have now replaced the pump but the poroblem persists. I think all the pipes are clear although I have not fully checked the waste pipe outside the machine but I doubt that is a problem

    Any other ideas?

    I would hav echecked for blockages before changing pump, but at least thats that eliminated.

    The machine will usually complete a spin if switched off for a few minutes and then restarted on any spin setting.

    Buttons are things that can cause mystery problems. Have a look down drain hose at exit end of it and see if you can see any obstruction.

    If drain hose is connected direct to a sink/drain spiggott , check this for blockages/obstruction 💡

    Apologies for tagging on to this thread but I have a very similar problem with my WFF2001. After the main wash cycle the machine empties ok but then stops with the spin and rinse lights flashing together. I read above that this indicates a problem with the pump/pressure system/blockage.

    I’ve done some tests – basically just running the machine on a rinse cycle – and it fills, the drum turns and then empties quite rapidly but the pump goes for 6 mins. and then the lights start flashing. It never re-fills or starts spinning.

    To me this suggests the pressure system. Would anyone agree?

    If so, is this easily replaced and would anyone be able to let me know the parts required?

    Many thanks

    There is a small white bodied chamber on the back of the drum that could easily get blocked?

    POWER OFF BEFORE REMOVING THE BACK PANEL :zap:

    Hi Martin,

    Sorry, I mis-interpreted your “very likely” as confirmation that the pressure sensor/sensors were knackered and needed replacing! 😳

    I’ve just had the back off the machine to check the pressure chamber and found it was blocked up with gray chalky deposits. I gave it a good clean out and now everything is fine again. 😀

    Thanks very much for the pointers,

    Tim
