Hi there
I have a Bosch WFT2800 washer dryer which is about 9 years old. I recently had the pump replaced and now I have another problem. When it comes to the end of a wash, instead of spinning and turning itself off, it keeps filling with water – to the extent that I had to turn off the water in order to stop it as it was leaking out of the drum. (Turning the power off had no effect.)
If I then turn it off and wait a while, it can be restarted on a spin cycle and it then performs normally. This has also happened when I’ve tried to use the dryer cycle – starts off drying fine but then fills with water (but not to the extent of flooding).
Can anyone give me some idea of what is wrong, and whether it would be economic to fix it, or cut my losses and go for a new one now?
Many thanks

Hi
Does your model end with – GB/01,11,12 or 13 ?
The fault you describe sounds like one of the fill valves isn’t fully closing and will need replacing.
Unless you can isolate which, you may have to change both.Greg

Hi
The hot valve is 154645 @ £17.86 +VAT etc
The cold is more intensive as it has numerous valves, p/no 261841 @ £62.86 + VAT etc. Spares are available from spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk if required 😀Un plug appliance if you are to investigate yourself :plug:

Hi again
It’s definitely the cold valve. Is it easy enough to fit, or should I get a professional to do it?
Many thanks

How long is a piece of string?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
If this was a Hayne’s manual, I’d give it 3 spanners 8)
Of course, unplug the appliance first!
