Bosch SHV43A03GB – not getting past filling up

[jonesp1]

Hi,

I have a Bosch SHV43A03GB integrated. For some reason it starts and makes all of the right noises and then you can hear the water bubbling away and filling up. This never ends and you just hear water filling the machine. The cycle never actually starts properly.

Has anyone got any ideas on things to try?

I did notice recently that it was loud just after it had filled up with water if that is any help.

Forgot to add. When I do a reset it drains the water out without any problems.

Thanks
Paul

Hi,

I want to check the circulating pump to see if it is seized.

Would it be possible for someone to tell me how to access this pump?

Thanks for your help.

Hi guys,

Could anyone help me with this please?

I think its the circulating motor. It might be seized.

Thanks

Access is very limited, you can see the circulation pump and possibly check if it is seized though.

Remove the mains plug, drag the machine out and remove the right hand (from front ) side panel.

You can then see the back of the main motor, low down, bottom left.

You may just be able to poke a thin screwdriver into the back of the motor to see if you can move the cooling vanes inside the motor.

Replacement motor is quite expensive and involves a major strip down to change.
