I’be been shopping too, hence the delay in replying. It’s almost like being a real person…

Anyway, many thanks for that. The pump was completely clear of debris, as was the filter earlier – having eliminated those possibilities I think it’s probably time to use the ‘find an engineer’ section of this website.

Thanks though – it’s worth knowing that I’m not throwing money at an engineer for a simple ‘take the fluff out’ operation.

OK – got the thing on its side, removed the base plate and got the filter out. No sign of any blockage on the filter unfortunately; have set it on a rinse cycle and the drum is still refusing to move.

Number on the side of the machine is WFO2866GB 00589844 9000029223 1400/min line 2.

From other comments in here I’m guessing a blockage in the pump is more likely than the motor having a problem – is there anything I can do from here or do I need to call an engineer?

Many, many thanks for all the responses so far – you’ve been a massive help.

Thanks
Guy

Many thanks. Given that the filter won’t turn round, do you have any idea how I get at it?

Thanks again for the input.

Re: Bosch filter stuck

Thought ‘tI might attack the filter with WD40 – can’t do any harm.

Re: Bosch filter stuck

Thanks. The bottom of the machine is a screwed-on metal plate, if I’m understanding your question correctly. Does that help? Thanks for the prompt response.
