Re: Bosch SMS4472GB 20 “hangs” twice during cycle

Hi K,

Thanks for your prompt reply; calling in the pros could be the best bet, if I could only find someone who’s interested! Just tried the “find a service engineer” on the site, and apparently none in my area (BN7, Lewes, Sussex). I haven’t tried recently, but when we had problems with our washing machine a couple of years ago I must have made 10 or so phone calls, all to no avail. Eventually found someone, but they’re now no longer trading.
Anyway, I’d like to persevere a bit longer if possible, before going throough the lengthy grief of finding someone competent and willing to fix it. I’m loathe to throw away a machine that doesnt leak, and works nearly perfectly. I work with heating control systems for a living, so I’m fairly competent with a meter and used to the hazards that water and mains electrics throw up!
The problem I’m having is knowing what the wash cycle is supposed to be doing at any particular point. I guess that Bosch must produce a flowchart which tells you the seqeunce of events , is there such a document, and if so, who has access to it? I’ve bought a couple of generic manuals including the Haynes one, but frankly its pretty useless on this topic.
