Bosch wff2001

This is a hot and cold fill machine but it’s stopped letting me set it above 30°. What can I do please?

Yes think so. It was allowing me to do warmer “short washes” but not anymore

Replace the hot valve but only after you’ve checked that the hot water supply hasn’t been switched off or the valve’s fine mess filter isn’t simply blocked?

Thanks Martin and Dave

Will get to work on that now.

Probably a silly question but do I have to turn off the water supply? Would this be the valve under the kitchen sink just?

Yes turn it off otherwise you`ll end up somewhat hot and moist when unscrewing the the inlet pipe off the valve!

The best way to go about this is to follow what has already been suggested i.e. clean the valve`s filter and any others that might be at the ends of the inlet pipe. Turn on the hot inlet pipe`s tap with the machine end in a bucket to prove that 1) there is a reasonable amount of water flow 2) any half hearted dripple and there`s your answer so not the machine it`s your plumbing. If all is well put the machine back to normal/reconnect the hose then to test: turn the hot tap back on and make sure the cold is on too, set t/stat to 70 set on cottons start the machine- you are trying to prove that hot water is now coming through the valve into the soap dispenser if indeed it does then that proves that and the machine should be now ok. If the original fault still is not cured it`ll most likely be the heating element that has failed OR the actual hot valve has just simply failed- the hot genuine valve is no doubt some stupid ridiculous price but you might be able to use an alternative valve in its place. If you have to call someone out the chances of it being a programmer fault is almost zilch so do not get taken on that one. If this machine is in otherwise good nick for heavens sake hang on to it, do not scrap it. New Bosch models are not as good / as well made by at least a thousand miles!
