Hello
Our trusty old WFF 2000 washer has developed a few ‘issues’. It’s flashing the prewash light 4 times at the end of the cycle – I understand this is the brushes being worn.
But it also makes a funny noise when it spins – a sort of metallic rattle. Could the brushes make it noisy? Sometimes now it won’t spin at all, just makes a noise.
Also, the programme dial is sticky – sometimes it stops and you have to manually shift it along.
Is it worth repairing this washer – or is it time to retire it to the great laundry in the sky? It’s 12 years old at least.
thanks

Classic brush failure! A new set should see a few more years out of it 😉

Thanks – would the brushes also make the metallic rattle when it spins?
Re: Bosch WFF2000. Fix or bin?
Noises are subjective things but failing brushes make a crackling noise on spin. The test is when the machine is in full spin switch off and the noise should immediately stop long before the drum stops 😉

New brushes in, working again. Thanks for help and advice.
How long can these machines keep going for? – when I opened her up she seemed a well built thing.
