    Hi

    Bosch SGS65L22-GB/07

    Was working fine.

    Then went to start a program with door open (needs to be to access the buttons) – as I selected the program, it started to run – even though the door was still open.

    But although there is a pump running, there is no water coming in. The pump keeps running even as the program counts down and then gets to zero – it keeps running.

    Opening the door doesn’t seem to make any difference to the pump running or the program counting down.

    Only way to stop the pump is to turn it off.

    Tried pouring water into the bottom and this is pumped out.

    Any ideas what could be wrong?

    Many thanks

    You may have a flooded base. Unplug, drag it out and tilt it.

    If water runs out from underneath you may have an internal leak or an oversoaping problem.

    Thanks for the speedy reply! Seems like you’re correct. Just tilted it and the floor is now quite wet! Looks like at least a good mug full of water – maybe more, and I didn’t tilt it for too long.

    So – now what?!

    Just been mopping up the water! More like at least a pint, possibly quite a lot more.

    One further thing…

    The machine was repaired just before Christmas – is it possible that there’s been a slow leak from then – or a slow leak that’s got worse?

    They also apparently left the machine in their unheated workshop during a period when we were getting -10° (and colder). Their pipes and testing rig froze – so presumably my machine did too. Could this have caused damage that’s resulted in the current leak?

    Many thanks.

    I’m certain that is the case…YES!
