Bosch WVT126S Washer Dryer not drying

[davep]

We have a Bosch WVT126S Washer Dryer that is 3 yrs old and the dryer is heating clothes but not drying them (they come out hot and wet). Also the washing cycle is occasionally taking a lot longer than normal (for an equivalent load).

When the machine was 2yrs old (and under warranty) the drain pump was replaced due to the waste pipe being badly fitting and putting strain on the pump (so I was told). I’m wondering whether the same could be happening, we’ve had a new kitchen fitted and when I checked where the waste pipe went. It went down to the floor (under a unit) and then back up and attached under the sink which doesn’t conform to the manual, so I’ve rerouted this now.

The symptoms still persist so I wonder whether the pump has been damaged by the extra load on it to …. There was also a bad smell before (presumably stagnant water in the waste pipe) that has gone since I rerouted the waste pipe.

Does this all sound plausible ? Is the best way to replace this pump from underneath ?

Any comments appreciated.

it could just be blocked

if you wanna change it, check if it has a sealed base 1st

if it hasnt, yes u can do it from underneath

Hmm, I begining to think that too since I’ve taken a look at the old pump that was replaced last time and its mechanically (and electrically) so simple that I can’t see it half working really, either it works or it doesn’t I would have thought. I can’t actually see anything burnt out on the old one either ….. (replaced under warranty but I wonder whether it was needed now).

I shall take the machine out once more and check for blockages again. The base isn’t sealed as this is how I looked at it last time.

Thanks for the response.

Cheers
