Bosch MAxx WFR 2860 stuck on load determination

[Rob146]

Washing machine get stuck for ever on “auto load adjustment” at the begining of the wash cycle. Water enters the machine, drum rotates, and that as far as it gets. This started on just some programs now it seems to be on all and continuous. Has anyone any experience of this problem and how to solve it?

Is that one of the “Fuzzy Logic” ones?

What sort of loads are you putting in?

Have you seen the word Bereit on the display lately?

It probably has fussy logic. Problem occurs what ever the load eg no load or full load.

Now had bosch service engineer out – he can’t find what is wrong so suggests a new PCB – at a cost of arround £150 + labour. Or alternatively he recomends ditching the machine for a new one as it 5 years old. In my opinion that is immoral as all the mechanics is fine. So any one know how to get bosch parts at non inflated price?

Oh dear, you’ve called the Bosch man out, he has charged you for his visit no doubt and you’re no further forward? Retrospectively, it would have been better had you asked him to replace the costly board. If that didn’t cure the fault you naturally would not have needed to pay for it as that would be down to Bosch.

Now you are faced with obtaining a new board (only available from Bosch by the way 😉 ) at your own expense in the hope the engineers hunch is correct? 😕

Tough call! 🙁
