Washing machine Bosch WFP32 error code F05

[JonasO]

I received recently this error code on my machine and the main motor stop functionning. Bosch Hotline confirm to me that the problem is the motor or the printed circuit that manage the motor.
I detect on that circuit that the resistor R5 has blown. Bosch refuse to tell me the carachteristics of that resistor. So if somebody can go inside his machine and check this resistor and tell me the colors or the value of that resistor, maybe I can repair my machine for one euro instead of about 150 euros. Or maybe somebody has access to the schemas.
The printed circuit is just behind the top cover of the machine and is the one next the rear of the machine with a heat sink above.
Many thanks by advance.

Jonas,

The fault is due to the motor brushes being worn out. Depending on the exact model (Enr & FD numbers) we could supply you with a Motor End Housing (usually 096331) or the Brushes to suit. (Not sure if you are in the UK though as you speak of “Euros” funny money 😆 )

Thanks for your quick answer but I have taken a look to my motor this evening and everything is alright, the brushes are not used.
As Bosch said to me it can also be the control circuit that is broken as previously mentionned.
To show you the blown resistor I have taken some pictures, that you can see on:

What I also can mentionned is that 3 days before the F05, I’ve received a F12 and the machine hasn’t “spin-driven” the clothes. After power down and power up again, the machine made the spin-drying without problem.
You are right, I’m using the funny euro money because I live in Belgium not so far from you.
The complete model number is:
E-NR: WFP3231SN/01
FD: 780200336

R5 is a small wirewound resistor 10 ohms wattage 1 if that helps 6 years later!

If not we could consider burying that info in a ‘Time Capsule’ in the hope one day generations from now will learn from it? 8)
