Bosch WFO2865UK not draining or spinning

[ratrsed]

Hello

I am having a problem with a Bosch WFO2865UK not draining or spinning. It gets to the end of it’s wash cycle and then stops with the Spin Light flashing.

I followed through the recommendation in the instructions to manually drain and then clean out the filter and check there was no debris in the pump impeller. There didn’t seem to be anything there and the impeller seemed to spin freely when I put it on a drain cycle with no water in it.

On putting it all back together, it then worked OK for a few washes before doing the same thing again. I again did the above and it fixed it for a bit but it has now happened again so I suspect something else is at fault.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Presumably pump wearing, Mark – they can become intermittant as they get older.

Should solve the problem for you. It’s not on the list, but it is the right one.

Power off when fitting.

Also the corrogated drain pump from pump to drain is prone to blockages and restrictions. 💡

If you think the pump is running OK then try this :-

Run a simple test by setting the machine(without washing in) on a “Rinse & Spin” cycle only. Observe how long it takes to empty the moment the pump starts? It should have all gone within 120 seconds, if its longer, then your drain hose is crudded up !!

Thanks guys!

I’ll check for blockages first and if not I’ll try replacing the pump.

I’ll let you know how I get on.
