Re: Siemens washer/dryer problem

Thanks, I think I might give replacing it myself a go. Can you please tell me which part number I need for the WXD1260 assuming it would be best to get a genuine Siemens/Bosch spare rather than a generic one? Maybe I’m being blind but I couldn’t spot it in the shop link.

Thanks for your help – is replacing the pump a job for a reasonably skilled engineer or could anyone do it?

Re: Siemens washer/dryer problem

I’d hoped this might be the cause too, the engineer that visited suggested it – indeed he found a button doing exactly that in the machine’s hose. However I removed the extension hose yesterday, peered down each end and gave it a thoroughly good clean with a bottle brush attached to the end of a drain cleaner. It’s as good as new now.

I was reading on this forum other people’s experiences of F04 faults on Bosch machines, though the symptoms were a bit different, and was wondering whether the pump could have gotten weaker over time. It seems to pump ok though I don’t know how strong it’s supposed to be. I’m struggling for an explanation when all the waste outlet seems to be clear.
