Bosch W/M motor not working ENR WFF2000 GB/12 FD 7709 01442

[stonkin]

missus spotted drum not turning during wash – called me and just as i got there a blue flash from under the machine. Took back off, took motor out and brushes are knacked. replaced them this morning but motor still not turning. are there any simple tests i can do to test the motor/motor control board?

Christmas!!! Bah humbug. So far this week…leak in roof, car broke down, washing machine broke. Someone’ll be telling me santa doesn’t exist next!!!

It is possible that the armature protection fuse has gone in the motor. A meter will tell all. Power off if you are going to have a look yourself.

Re: HELP! Bosch WFF2000 W/M motor not working

There’s 5 or 6 pins in the connector block – do you know which I should use to test? also, if it is the fuse is it easy to get at or does the motor case have to be separated (i did notice a couple of TorX screws but I’ve no idea what they release.

Thanks in advance.

Conitinuity between 2 pins. 3 circuits in total. Fuse =New motor unfortunately. Recheck brush fitting.

Re: HELP! Bosch WFF2000 W/M motor not working

I haven’t checked the circuits yet as I’d put the motor back in the machine and replaced the back-panel, but is it really not possible to replace a fuse in the motor? A replacement motor is nearly as much as a new bottom-end machine 🙁

Not like a normal fuse. Yes sad really. A good machine yours is.

Re: HELP! Bosch WFF2000 W/M motor not working

just done the continuity check…

the connector block shows pin numbers 1 thru 8 (with 1 and 8 pins missing). The only continuous circuit is thru pins 2 & 3, nothing else. 🙁

Thanks for your help anyway.

If Pins 2 and 3 are showing 0.8 – 1.4 ohms then the overload fuse is intact.
There is no connection on pins 1 and 8, so thats correct.
Pins 4-5 should have 1.8 – 10 ohms across them
Pins 6-7 should have 14 – 130 ohms across them

Un plug appliance when attempting these measurements.

2-3 showing approx 2ohms
4-5 no circuit
6-7 15 ohms (enough to stop the audible continuity confirmation – whoops)

Re: HELP! Bosch WFF2000 W/M motor not working

Pins 2 -3 seems a tad high 😕
Pins 4 – 5 is definately a problem. As mentioned previously check the brush fitting and connection. If that is all ok the it sounds like winding damage and new motor unfortunately 😥

Ridiculous price. Not worth fixing as due to the age of the machine the timer/motor control board might be next, or the drum bearings etc…

might as well just by cheap crap every 2-3 years
