Re: Bosch Exxcel 1600 Express – intermittently loses power

Hi, although the machine sometimes will work perfectly, this is now rare and the cutting out is happening very frequently and is getting worse.

I wonder if some capacitor is involved because after it cuts out and the screen goes black, if I switch off at the mains, after a few minutes, the door lock clicks unlocked and then if I switch it back on at the mains she starts up again.

Thanks.

Martin,

Any other ideas? This machine is still arbitrarily switching on and off but sometimes gets to the end of a cycle by itself.

I recall that it first started malfunctioning after a period in the winter when I had the water turned off.

Many thanks.

Martin,

Many thanks for your reply. The first thing I did was check the fuse on the plug and it was OK. It was connected to a connector block with other appliances running off it. I have since connected it directly to a wall socket and totally disconnect it from the mains when not in use. Still the same problem however plugged in. There is no strain on the cable to cause an obvious bad connection.

Oddly, when it is playing up, the door unlocks, which I don’t think it would do if there was just a simple power failure.

Thanks.
