Complaint of noise when going into spin.
I tried it with a bad load ( one large bathmat ) and TBH it wasn’t that bad.
Customer says it is normally worse.
I may be mistaken but I seem to remember reading a year or two ago about a problem with the suspension units causing knocking on Bosch machines.
Was I imagining it, if not is this one of the models that does suffer from this fault?Jim.

I never did suss the problem by the way so I view this new thread with interest. 😀
Is the drum suspended on a crossways tie bar or are the springs hooked into the topside of the cabinet ? ( just come back from a few days away and can’t be ar*ed to fire up my laptop yet 🙂 )
Most of the knocking noises i’ve had on these machines has been caused by the springs jumping in a groove thats produced over time. The noise is more predominant at slow speeds and will disappear as the spin speed increases.
On the tie-bar set up , i normally lever up the spring where it hooks into the tie bar , clean and re-lubricate well before lowering the spring/tub .
On the springs that hang on the side of the cabinet , there are two plastic bushings available that hook under the spring ends to provide a smooth suspension point.
You can normally tell if this is the fault by removing the lid , and pressing down on either side of the tub , by the springs , and you may hear it go ‘bedoing’ !!!
Re: Knocking Bosch.
Thanks for replies chaps.
It doesn’t have the crossbar, springs just hooked into the cabinet sides.
I did give the drum the full press down treatment but couldn’t replicate any noises.
The very slight noise I heard did appear to be more low down rather than at the top of the machine.
I will check out the spring support bushes for any signs of wear.

Re: Knocking Bosch.
Jim, if it’s got square dampers, they knock. The replacement damper is a round rather more substantial jobbie with a bolt and various spacers. You’ll need a drill for the plastic pin. In and out in 30 mins when you figure it out.
BSH say that there isn’t a problem.

Re: Knocking Bosch.
Thanks, I will check out the suspension springs and dampers, can’t be sure but I think it had round ones already.
