    Hi, I hope someone can give me some advice.

    I have a Bosch SMS6702 GB/09 and it’s been a great machine but tonight about ¾ of the way through the wash cycle it started making funny noises, sounded like crackling/electricity arcing inside the machine.

    Immediately stopped the cycle. There was nothing to be seen inside, only a burning smell from the top area on the outer casing, possibly from the back of the machine.

    Water still in the bottom, which I have manually drained.

    Would anyone have any ideas on likely fault? Probably not a DIY resolution.

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice.

    Cheers, scotti

    Hi
    Power off, remove front panel completely and check the door switch and wiring 😉

    Wow, that was quick Greg.

    We took the front panel off, apart from a connector block on the left side which needed reseating, there appeared to be nothing else loose, not even any burnt out components/wiring.

    Thanks, scotti

    Whilst that panel is off, it would be worth checking the wiring loom at the bottom, in the area where the door pivots.
    You will have to unwrap the sticky pouch 😀 and inspect the individual wires for damage.

    Hi, thanks again Greg, we checked the wiring but no signs of burn out etc.

    We think the culprit is a capacitor?

    Its a 3in tube with a bolt on one end attaching it to the frame, at the other end are 2 spade connectors. It is attached to the frame on the bottom right side of the machine, this seems to be where the sparks were coming from.

    We have removed it, definitely has a burning odour to it.

    There are several numerical identification marks on it but not quite sure which is relevant, could you kindly help out if at all possible?

    Just an update, fitted part recommended by Penguin45 and we now have a fully functioning machine once again.

    Many thanks to both Penguin and Greg for taking the time to reply and giving us the benefit of their very considerable expertise.

    Thanks lads,

    cheers, scotti 😉
