Bosch Exxcel 1100 WF02264GB/01 no high speed spin and rattle

Re: Bosch Exxcel 1100 WF02264GB/01 no high speed spin and ra

Probably coins or something stuck in the drum, not sensor at these are well out the way of the inner drum!. Have a check with a torch and see if you want see them through the holes. If so, try getting sump hose and, if required, heater out and remove debris. I find it helps to use put a bright light/torch in the drum itself to give some light to work by, and so you can see the shadows of the coins through the drum to get you started. Check sump hose and filter are clear as well.

Do not use machine until you’re sure everything is removed or else the coins will punch through the outer drum and you’ll be spending big money to replace it.

If you can’t get it out through these you will need to remove and split drum but should be possible to do without, depending on how much of a pig they are to get to.

My guess would be that if there’s stuff in the drum there’s probably more in the filter which would keep the drum from spinning up, unlikely to get a clanking noise from the motor. Have you checked the drain speed of the machine? Otherwise standard motor checks – brushes first with power off.

Other possibility is that a counterweight has come loose or suspension broken/knackered and that the drum is being thrown around against the cabinet and the out of balance is kicking in to stop the drum spinning up; or the spider is broken, but I’d have thought you’d have mentioned if the drum was being thrown around. You can check the spider by checking for play in the drum and rotating it by hand and listening for where the noise is coming from, but tbh you’d be unlucky if these had gone in a Bosch the age of your machine.
