Bosch Logixx 8 wet clothes and flashing soap syds symbol – wont spin fast

[sgking]

ahh and I see that bosch also sell the loom pretty cheap but what a painto have to change it for just one tiny snapped wire…I was hoping I could just release the single pin from the connector and fix it somehow…

look at next page where the wires are.
think it may be item 0506

anyone know how to open it up so I can remove a pin so that I can re-insert the snapped wire, save me having to buy a new loom?

[sgking]

sorry ignore that didnt realise there was a 2nd page and I thought my previous post dissapeared! can these connectors be opened up or is it new loom?

[electrofix]

i have opened them with care. plastic clips
they are called insulation displacement connectors so the connecter breaks the insulation as the wire is pushed into the connecter

Hi DaveThanks for the info I was able to google it and look at some examples – this seems the most exact:https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/446103/what-is-this-wire-to-board-connector-called

I managed to break the two tiny wing clips on each side but as the clips were then off, the block separated into 2 tiny parts but still cant see how to release the broken wire end from the remaining block so that i can try to feed in a new piece – could very well require a new connector which should be 20p but finding one is the problem!

there are lots of these plugs you only have to search on rs components and farnell
the problem is getting the correct fit

well I worked out that once the connector is split into 2, the pins actually pull out from the front with pliers, then you can knock the broken bit of wire out the connector and feed the new wire in and then press the pin carefully back onto the new wire. What a faff but I did it and all is working. Hooray. I have now done 3 loads and so the whole time imy problem was the bearing play causing the machine to not spin clothes due to some protection mode.

So, all I have left now really is
1.I wouldn’t mind getting a new connector as the current one is a bit battered now.

2.The drum still has some orbital movement causing vibrations, not wondering as such but shaking more than I’d like. The cheap suspension rods I tried at the start – are these known to be crap?https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353048415400

Thanks

christ if only I had joined up on here earlier. I spent £25 on cheapo ones that dont appear to have worked! Doh! If I change the suspension and there is still orbital movement is that a sign the spindle is damaged? I couldnt notice anything wrong with it but even if it was slightly bent I guess it could cause this.
