Not been to this machine yet but customer has reported fault as not completing final spin. Counts down from 11 mins. to 8 mins and the drum builds up speed normally but then skips straight to 1min. then 0.
She insists water drains ok and she`s tried it with 4 or 5 different loads and with nothing in it.Appears to operate perfectly during its wash/rinses but never gets through its final spin.Am I looking at partial pressure chamber blockage or is there anything else to look out for ❓
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Sounds like a partial blockage to me. Either on the pressure side or drain side. Had a few bosch pumps cutting out later on in the cycle, so could be a possibilty. Had a weird fault on a bosch last week due to low insulation on heater, so always worth elliminating.

Thanks for the replies lads.
Greg , you mentioning brushes , are you thinking brushes very low , causing excess sparking at commutator and shutting down electronics ❓
Have had this occasssionally on Hoover (Softwave from memory) and thanks for that , the more I think about it I think you`re right.
Would have expected motor to have stopped after 3 or 4 washes but Bosch motors do seem to sometimes run with brushes very low.
She`s stopped using it now so no probs.Cheers

Yes Bryan its a possibilty,and tracking over of carbon dust.
Miele have that sussed by spring loading a plastic peg through the centre of the brush; when the brush wears sufficiently low enough to erode through to peg, it shoots out a retracts the brush away from the com and prevents damage to com etc, excellent design. God Ive wandered off again 🙄Greg
PS Although timdowning may be on to something aswell, making elecronics think that water is still in drum, a few pointers anyway 😉
