    Measured the temperature inside the freezer its now -18C (and the warning light is off) – so the defrost worked. Thanks.

    Thanks for your help on this.
    I tested the fan by putting a magnet up to the switch at the front and it works.
    I noticed there is a lot of ice under the coils so I defrosted it as suggested.
    I have powered up again to see it gets down to -18C.

    I turned it on with the fan exposed and didn’t seem to be turning. I unplugged and took the connector fans off and tested it seems to be open circuit. A new fan from Bosch is £198!

    Thanks for your reply.
    Bit stuck about defrosting for 2 days as haven’t got access to another freezer.
    I can’t see a fan in the freezer – just one in the fridge which does come on sometimes.

    In case anyone else needs to know this – Electrofix is correct N is neutral (black wire) – and maybe its a M for motor (white wire) – anyway it works fine.

    I did get confused I thought I had wired the push buttons up wrong – however the version of handle I got has the pump and the power switch logos the other war round. (2301 version).

    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes the terminals are the same size.
    The black wire does conduct to the neutral on the plug so must be neutral.
    The white wire connects to the pump switch button.

    The part number I was sent is Z630G7X50BP. I presume it isn’t the right part if the correct one is obsolete.

    Thanks

    There are small areas of wet again under the corners of the dishwasher at the front. I notice after use there is condensation on the outer side of the door seal – I wonder if this is running down causing the wet patches?

    Thanks very much for your advice. Gave all bits a good clean and so far seems to have fixed the leaking.

    Thanks very much for your help. I have replaced the broken spring, both strings are ok.However the door is leaking now a bit from the lower corners. Do I need to replace both springs to even the tension or does the door seal need replacing or could it be the lower door seal (how do I tell).

    Thank you

    I notice the metal strap on the inlet valve is getting hot – does this sound like it needs replacing?

    Do the inlet valves get scaled up and reduce the water flow?

    Re: Bosch WVT1260 steaming

    Water seems to be flowing into the condenser at all times – but will keep checking. Could it be things are getting too hot?

    Could the thermostat not be working? When its hot its reading open circuit across the terminals. The thermal cut out is reading closed circuit at the moment.

    What sort of temperatures should the ducting get to? I have an infra red measuring device.

    Thanks for all your help on this.
