Re: Bosch WF02865GB washing machine not spinning
Thanks for the reply, nomadPaul. It is a Bosch WF02865GB, exactly the same as the original post. At present, no spinning at all. I tested the water level switch with a meter, and took the back off to have a look. Nothing obvious wrong, but I have just set it up to do a 40 deg wash, with the back cover still off, and there is noticable arcing from the motor brushes. I will certainly replace these if there is any chance it will solve the problem. How does the spin get shut down? Is the controller looking at motor currents and detecting unsteady currents as it spins up as an indicator of unbalanced load?
Re: Bosch WF02865GB washing machine not spinning
I have exactly the same problem. It first occurred a few years ago, but after poking about a bit, it disappeared. It has now recurred, and I am looking into it again. I suspect is is more likely a sensor than the motor itself, e.g. is the water level switch malfunctioning? The instruction manual says it has a cut-out if that prevents it going to high spin with an unbalanced load. Could this have triggered and then stuck? Did you ever get a solution to the problem for your machine>
