    Re: Bosch SGS66A02 locked up with error code 1

    Thank you. Yes – that’s what I was worried may have happened. I presume there is no master reset function on the control board? Dishwasher was turned off on unit power switch when we went away. It all started up OK this morning, but clearly seems to have had a fit since ;-( Time for a new machine I think…

    The gemilins clearly took residence in the house while we were away. Windows 10 install also locked up at 82{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} this afternoon…

    Yes – that’s one of the odd things – the program reset function has no effect

    No – door open stops the machine as usual

    Just as a belated follow-up to this post, the engineer in me took pity on the poor old machine and I sourced a (used) replacement motor from Germany for about £70 shipped compared to about £115 best price over here and have fitted that. The machine is all well again – until the next thing!

    Thanks for your help Penguin45.

    Thanks for that Penguin45. I came to a similar conclusion shortly before getting your reply as I turned the drum and found that the resistance between winding and earth varied wildly.

    I’ve now taken the motor apart and found that there is only 70 ohms between the commutator windings and the spindle so that’s dead. Only getting away with it not tripping immediately because one of the bearings looks like a good insulator, but the other one looks to be the source of the intermittent path to earth. Other than that, the spindle is isolated. I don’t imagine that it’s normal for the motor drive shaft to be live to mains (happy to be corrected) so I think the machine is for the dump now it’s 10 years old and a replacement motor is £100 or so – presume you can’t get just commutators.

    Bosch a good option for replacement?

    Re: Bosch SS66A02GB Inconsistent Filling

    Thanks for this guidance – very useful – I hope to get a spare hour to have another go in the next evening or so.

    Any tips for cleaning out the apparently gunged uo bit of the matrix. Too narrow a channel to feed anything obvious in and have had a reasonable go with boiling water.
