Re: Bosch WFR2860 Washing machine – Pump blocked
Sounds similar to my problem which turned out to be the pump.
Re: Bosch washer won’t drain – i’ve tried everything! help!
Just to complete this post, i changed the pump and it all works perfectly now. As the pump that I bought from Shop@ was £25 I expected it to be a pattern part but it was the same manufacturer as the OEM part being replaced – what a great website! Thanks a lot for your help guys.

i was extremely careful, but take your point it wasn’t the best idea. 😳
Re: Bosch washer won’t drain – i’ve tried everything! help!
i fear you’re right DDSDDS. I got the pump out, removed the black housing and ran it hanging out of the machine. It buzzed and moaned and when i gave the impeller a shove it started spinning again. Tried it a few more times and it behaved the same. There’s no sign of anything wrapped round the impeller and there doesn’t seem any way of breaking the pump down further. We had problems with our drains backing up recently and i suspect the poor old pump motor took a battering.
I’ll buy the new pump and give that a go, but it looks like this will solve my problem. Thanks a lot for your help guys, i was on the point of throwing the machine out in a huff.

linrew you rock! I gave the impeller a shove with the drain hose and it started spinning. I’m not really sure what noise it should make, but it sounds like it could have something wrapped behind it. I’ll have a go at stripping the pump tomorrow and let you know how i get on. Thanks for your help.
Re: Bosch washer won’t drain – i’ve tried everything! help!
Just had a look at shop@ and couldn’t find my model number (WFX3267GB) under the three available Bosch pumps. Does anyone know which pump works with my machine?
Re: Bosch washer won’t drain – i’ve tried everything! help!
thanks. It’s not drainig at all, when i put it on a drain cycle it just makes a kind of quiet straining buzzing noise, that sounds a bit like a knackered electric motor. I’ll try a new pump. I’m feeling a bit anti-bosch as i paid a fair bit of cash for it thinking it would last.
