    Recently the machine stays on wash cycle. It does not drain, rinse or spin. It stays on wash whilst counting down but does not complete the cycle? 😕
    Manual intervention to turn to drain or rinse does work.

    Is this the controller? or is there some other cause?
    Is it repairable…..by an amateur?
    😉
    thanks.

    You’ll need to check the heating element for resistance and you’ll prob find its open circuit. The machine is waiting for the water to heat up…..which i suspect it isn’t doing.
    The element is situated on the lower front edge of the tub.
    Its not to bad a job to replace .

    PLEASE POWER OFF IF INVESTIGATING

    Had a few recently with burnt out connectors – wiring repair sorts them. What was wrong with proper AMP tag connections anyway?

    I ran a wash cycle again – you are correct the water is not heating.

    Checked the element – measured 24 ohms. This isn’t open circuit. Is it the correct value?

    The machine also seems louder when motor is running – a whirring/clicking sound? and I dont think it is spinning at full speed as when the washing comes out it is wetter than usual….

    Any ideas?

    thanks

    Hi,

    Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a similar problem on my WFO2866GB. (Bosch Classixx 1400)
    Found that the blue spade connector on the heater element is burnt out. Has another fault caused this or can I just rewire? the heater element isn’t open curcuit.

    thanks

    A burnt out spade connector normally means a poor contact between the connector and the heater terminal which has arced , causing the melt damage
    Be warned though that on a heating cycle the terminals/connector will need to convey 8amps minimum….so if you do fit a new connector , it needs to be done properly with the correct parts

    POWER OFF IF ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIR.
