My Bosch Classixx 1200 express started cutting off power about 15 minutes into a wash. After disconnecting the element it’s going, could I have the part no. to order a Bosch Classixx 1200 express heater element please.

Any help with further testing also appreciated, due to only able to disconnect it and measure it at this time or if there’s anything else I need to check please?

since you cant use the machine before you order take out the old element and look for mechanical damage. What i am trying to make sure is there is nothing wrong with your drum before you put in a new heater. what can happen is the drum spider fails and on spin the drum can catch the heater and wear through the metal causing a short. So look for signs of contact about two thirds down the heater

Many thanks for your great help, I ordered the part and will remove and take a look

[shadzuk]

Hello many thanks for the part,now I got difficulty fitting it at the moment unsure if I need to locate any drum retaining clip at the front of this machine, I have removed the panel/screws at the bottom to ease the front away,but now wondering if I am going about this the wrong way. Noticed rubber off the seal on the inside of the drum and on a spin knocking and noisy this time. Anything I need to check,with regards to the noise?

[electrofix]

dont have to trmoce drum to remove element

undo nut in the middle of old element and leave nut just on the end of the thread
tap nut with pliers or small hammer. This releases pressure on the seal. you will then have to carefully prise it out. can be a challenge, the importent but is not to damage the tub whar it seals.
once its out check there is no rubbish in the bottom of the tub, then insert the new heater and tighten the nut. be carefull to tighten it enough to seal but not too much as the bolt can snap

assume you know the complete front of the machine comes off for access

non gen equivalent is
https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/d321400as-compatible-washing-machine-heating-element

how much difference in the 2

as long as the end of the element fits in the holder inside the tub so it cant move should be ok

Dave

Looks around 1.5 inches shorter,sure this is right?? Got anywhere I can send you a photo?

[electrofix]

am trying to find out
have sent a message to admin am trying to find out if the site may have got a wrong link
looking at another source i get
https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/htr72-bosch-washing-machine-heater-element
as eguivalent. Is your old unit 265mm long ?

Dave

[shadzuk]

Yes around that and the other one is around 230mm. Where are you measuring from and to please?
You insisted I gave you the information from inside the door to ensure this way I received the correct part I assume,how could you possibly get this wrong. I really need this fixed today,I can’t wait forever for a washing machine

[electrofix]

i assume its total length but its not my measurement its taken off the site shop

i am at home so, may have one in work but wont be able to measure till tomorrow , provided i have one

it lists the element you bought as 225mm if that helps

dave

[shadzuk]

Will it work or blow my machine or too short to do anything, the element is around 40mm shorter, the orginal I removed is around 265mm,but surely the door information you requested tells you that?
