Re: Bosch WFF2000 Removing brushes

Hi All,

I got the heater element checked and it was knackered. It’s just been replaced, and the washing machine is now working fine again as I type.

Many thanks for all your help

Re: Bosch WFF2000 Removing brushes

Hi Greg,

I have a multimeter, so that is something I can check.

You say access is from the front, is it easy to get the front off? I have only had the back off up to now. Is the heater obvious ?

many thanks for your help

Hi Greg,

85mins sounds about right, is that likely to be something like a new heating element needed ?

is that easy/cheap to replace, or is it time for an engineer?

Cheers

Hi,

I have checked this out more carefully, and it is 2 blinks when the cycle skips to the end. What does this signify ?

thanks for your help

Thanks for the quick reply

My motor does have the white sleeves with the wires attached protruding. I have had a fiddle, but still cannot see how they should come out. I don’t want to force it and break anything.

Once I have pulled the wire off, the little clip that the wire was attached to, moves quite a lot. It appears to be on a spring, and the end that was not attached to the wire, pulls out of a slot on the side of the white sleeve. It spring back in when I let go. But that is the only thing that moves.

I haven’t opened the motor, as I don’t have the correct size screw driver, it is one of those star screws. (Got a set on order)

Anyway while the machine was apart, I decided to check the hoses and plastic box, between the inner hose and outer hose. All main hoses and box were fine, (box was de-gunged a couple of years ago when engineer called). However there is another small hose (about little finger size) that attaches to the top of the plastic box. The tiny hole (in the plastic box) to this hose was solidly blocked. I unclogged that, and put it all back together and hoped that would sort it out.

Unfortuntely not. I Watched it finish the main cycle, then it clicked round to the end as before. This time I watched for the prewash error LED.

It seems to blink 2 times, first time on for about 2 seconds then second time on for about 1 sec, then off for about 2 secs.

Hard to tell if this is supposed to be one blink or 2 ?

Any ideas what this indicates?

Thanks again for your help
