Is it definitley the filter LED ? This doesn’t appear to be an error code as they tend to be accompanied by an ‘F*’ error displayed . Isn’t the machine less than 2 years old ? A service call to BSH if it is , maybe .

You haven’t at all Rob, rest easy mate. Ask for the FD Number of the machine (written after the model number by the way) The FD number shows the YEAR and the MONTH it was made and will establish if it is covered by the 2 year guarantee? 😉

HI. even still, she has no reciept so we have to assume that i’m fixing it. I don’t understand this website sometimes. We are after service calls and I always see moderaters and other people helping the public. Every time I see someone answer a question to the public…another call out charge is losted. You have to understand that a bosch engineer who works for bosch isn’t going to give or know all the answers. Thats why he or she still works for Bosch. Its crazy for someone to answer a question when he still doesn’t answer a question. Sorry if I seem brash but if you look at my question…am i any closer to a remedy? Do we need to answer…no but we seem to be having a chain of emails for no reason. Wouldn’t it be better to tell everyone to answer only if an answer is available, and not just ask “am I sure if I have checked”..or maybe by someone who has experienced the question. Once again thankyou for your moderation Martin but too many things like call out charges are lost on this website. The public section should be closed and the engineers should be verified like i am. Too many public on trade enquiries. I only ask a question after my fool proof test procedures have failed, and I don’t answer people unless I have had experience in that field. I am an approved and trained Whirlpool engineer and I see faults on here that I have never seen or heard of on Whirlpool appliances.I look and wait if i don’t know. Sorry to chew ear but lets all think about the buisness cos the way things are going, there won’t be one left soon if we keep answering the punters or giving wrong or no answers. We need definates and not are you sures…Rob

As i said Rob , i havn’t seen it and its not on our list of fault indications. I was only trying to clarify the exact nature of the indication. Sorry i can’t be any more helpful

Lift pump failure or blockage will cause the filter light to come on. Mind you, I had to sit back and think about for a while.

The rest of that last post is a large number of spherical objects.

Thankyou everyone for your help. I’m sure you all agree that theres nothing worse than taking something completely apart at the end of a very long week and finding nothing wrong but it still doesn’t work. Am I right in saying that the pump could be blocked or failed? cheers
