My Bosch WFF2000 stops in rinse mode and leaves the prewash light flashing. It flashes in a series of 3s which apparently indicates a problem with the pump. I’ve removed the pump cover and cleaned inside. The propeller turned but with some slight resistance.
Unfortunately the machine still refuses to complete a cycle and continues to flash the prewash light. It will drain if set to one of the 3 predefined rinses which suggests that the pump works. However in the cycle it appears to wash, drains and then stalls before the rinse begins. After a minute or two it moves to the prewash position.Appreciate any help.
Many thanks.
Re: Bosch Prewash
MikeP,
Your trouble is indeed centred around the pump. It will require removal and closer inspection for coins in the pipework etc etc. If your machine is 4 years old plus, then likely the ‘magnet’ pump assembly will need replacing and also the entire drain hose system cleaned and checked.
Well worth calling in an expert :tup:

Re: Bosch Prewash
Thanks for your help Martin. What you suggest sounds expensive.
The machine is probably 6+ years old. Perhaps a new machine might be a better cost-effective option?
It’s possibly a coincidence but the washer did work fine until a plumber, investigating a leak turned it upside down, and later, while checking the machine’s behaviour, span the dials this way and that as if a clue to its problems might be found in a certain but unknown combination. I mention this wondering whether the problem could lie in the programmer. Hopefully a cheaper option!
Thanks again for your help.

OMG
I hope that this plumber is not a friend. 🙁 😯
Re: Bosch Prewash
Mike,
Seriously speaking a 6+ year old WFF2000 is still worth a look…Honest 🙂
Pump replacement is not that costly and the Programmer??….NO! Even from what that idiot plumber did, it should still be OK :tup:

Thanks Martin. I’ll get someone to look at it. Unfortunately, following your earlier suggestion, my postcode didn’t throw up any forum people locally.
Many thanks again.
I understand the concept of semi-seizing with age Greg, but in terms of the pump, how easy would it be to fit a new one?
I am the sort of person who puts on rubber-soled shoes to change a light bulb.

Piece of cake for us experts. (The front panel has to be removed 😉 )
Please refer to my first posting for further information…. 🙂
