Re: Bosch Excel won’t empty. How do I access pump?

Alongside the pump impellor is a BLACK gasket, remove that with a part of pliers (tweezers even) then clean and replace before re-fitting the pump cover. By the way, the machine will NOT drain with the impellor cover OFF! 😉
Ohh crap!
Why did I not find this site a bit earlier… 🙄

My Bosch has been standing still for about a year now. I just haven’t had the time or the money to fix it. I have disassembled it and thought the pump was broken, since it didn’t empty after running the program.
This week I finally ordered a new pump from Denmark. Got it in the mail today. BUT – before i replaced it, I thougth – “is it really the pump…? Didn’t I see it stir the water around a bit…?”
So I searched for info and “exploded views” and stuff… Found none in swedish. Ended up here and read your excellent answer. So I tried mounting that impellor cover – and it worked! 😯 😆
I suppose there was just some dirt in the way, which I removed the first time I tried to fix it – about a year ago!!

So now it seems to work, and I can spend the time riding my motorcycle in this beautiful weather instead!

So – thank’s a lot!! I got a new bookmark in my browser, for troubleshooting. :worthy:

Have a nice weekend!

Regards from Sunny Sweden! 😀

EDIT: Ohh… By the way… We’ll kick your butts in Germany this Tuesday! 😈
But I love you anyway! 😆
