Cheers Don. I haven’t my local Bosch sales guy for a while, because last time he refused to even acknowledge us 🙁 Time for another try maybe!
Re: washer over fill
A model number would help here, please.
It could be a problem with the pressure system 😕
Can Repairs@ help?
Unplug the machine if investigating further! :zap:

A new motor from VAX is £70ish, but Dave might be able to get a non-genuine motor cheaper than that 😉
Give him an email…
Re: New motor brushes Vax 2100
Hi Zaphod,
IIRC they can’t be exacted 🙁
And if they can, they’re not provided as a spare by VAX. Unfortunatly, it’s the industry standard in vacuum cleaners, that carbon brushes aren’t provided, just entire motors.
Are you sure the brushes are faulty? What’s the symptons? Have you exacted the motor?
If you having a look, make sure the machine is unplugged! :zap:
Re: Retailer versus Internet
Whoo hoo! 😀
No replies Don, but we’re all cheering along with you 😉
I just need the Bosch rep to actually talk to me now 😕

Is the drum loose? Open the door, and grab the inner drum. Can you lift it away from the tub? Is it noisey when it spins?
Don’t worry about the soot, that’s carbon dust from the brushes, that might of gone, but if your drum is snapped, then that’s alot bigger problem, which superceeds the brushes 😕 🙁

The website never was that daunting. It will just always be at the back of the queue when you have software installed on the PC from Electrue/Qualtex, or manufactuers dics. It’s just alot fast for finding spares.
Constructive criticism?
Errr…..errrr……
Sorry about the timer gripe, but it really annoys me that this spare just dissapeared during the takeover. We were buying those while they obsolete for a long time. Sob, sob, good ol’ days, etc.
Re: Partscenter Friend or Foe??????
Nah, that’s for the 1012. We sold 100’s of RWM1041’s 🙄
You remember how wash-vac used to work! If you ordered the same ‘special order’ enough times, it became a stock item.
We bought 100’s of them off wash-vac (twas a very common fault on a 1041) right up until the take-over, and they always had plenty in stock. I know there must be some lying in a bin, somewhere in the warehouse. But because Herloni tells Parts-centre it’s obsolete, it never made it onto the new system 🙁
BTW, I’ve just noticed, if you type MER068886 in connections, in seems to be a different timer to PHL068886.
Both obsolete, so who cares?
Re: Crazy
My engineer went to an intergrated, 15 year old, slimline, Hotpoint (Bosch) D/W this morning.
Herloni has been out to it the day before. 🙄 The engineer had tryed to pull out the machine, without sucess. According to the customer, he huffed + puffed for half an hour, before making 5 or so excuses to why he couldn’t fix it, then unsucessfully tryed to chargeher the £89 call-out charge, then left. 🙄 😛
My engineer, removed the front panel, and repaired the broken wiring in the door. 20 minutes of a job! 8)
