Hope someone can help.
When I try to do a wash, the machine takes the powder, but the cycle will not start. You can a clicking noise coming from the control know but the wash will not start.
I have drained the water from the drum, cleaned the filter, switched the machine off for an hour but the problem is the same.
If anyone can give some advice I would really appreciate it.

Thanks Martin, is this a common problem? Not had any problems with the machine before, come back from two weeks holiday and this happened!
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
Thank you – replaced them and machine working again.
Its a bit noisy, is this because the brushes are new?
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
Probably the brushes are arcing? If so you could do serious damage if not checked. The brushes have to make a good clean contact with the commutator and the commutator has to be clear of excess carbon dust and each segment clean and smooth with no uneven surface or blackened areas.
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
Hi New to the forum and a problem with the same machine as OP – Model BOSCH WAE2416S
It started to make a slight noise on spinning the past couple of weeks but was spinning okay so I did nothing, no error lights. Today it just stopped mid cycle no error lights, but on turning the dial to off and back on again it am getting the top, middle and bottom light flashing, which according to my manual says motor fault.
What does a motor fault mean and what is the likely cost of repair? Or would it just be better to buy a new machine.
This is the first time I have had a problem with the machine, I purchased in February 2008, which is the reason I am asking what the likely cost of repair would be due to the age of the machine.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
You think brushes even though the indicator lights say motor fault? I had no idea what motor fault meant so I am sure you know better. If it is brushes what is the likely cost of fixing for parts and labour?
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
Not a costly fix at all. Call your local repairer and ask how much it would cost to change the brushes is your best bet. 😀
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
Thanks I will try and find someone local to give me a quote.
update
Just rang Bosch Customer Services for advice, as I know no one local who I could get a quote from and very wary of just picking a random person to quote me.From the information I gave her she seemed to think it may be the motor, quoted me £95 callout + parts, but suggested I rang back on Monday when the Product Advice Department would be available who may be able be more specific with the problem and likely costs.
I am now thinking if that is the case and that is the sort of price I am looking at then a new machine may be the best option.
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
Nope, get a local guy in, stick in new brushes, job done! 😀
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
Not sure what others would charge but I’d say a ball park figure of around £60 would be close
Re: Problem with Bosch Classixx 1200 express
You were correct it was the brushes, washer sorted now, cost £70 from a helpful local guy I found from the engineer search on this site 🙂 Thanks
