    Make note of the FD number then Don to see if that holds true. 😉

    Re: Bosh dishwasher not heating water

    Yes indeed, that involves accessing the heater unit and checking with a meter.

    I have no clue as to what level of skills in electrics/electronics you hold. It does need the proverbial “qualified person” to check it out at this stage.

    Has your drain hose been extended in any way? And you are sure the sink coupling is not restricted?

    But consumers aren’t going to stop buying them any more than the manufacturers are going to start fitting split drums.

    The sealed drum is ‘built for life’ and life for a washing machine is short anyway whether they have a split drum or not.

    Independents may faff about changing bearings but the vast majority are scrapped anyway due to pure economics. ‘Tis the way of the world and all that. 😀

    Quietly replacing the machine is a whole lot cheaper than admitting a flaw in design. Ssssssh 😉

    Heat pump failed or main circuit board issue are the 2 usual suspects. 🙁

    Double check the drain filter in the tub to ensure it is located correctly and that the one way valve operates freely?

    If you’re up to blowing down the pressure tube then you could easily remove the sump filter and then blow up the drain hose to check if the system is clear back to the machine? 💡

    Don’t mess with the pressure switch system as that has nothing to do with the drain problem you have. You’ve blown down the pipe and it’s clear so put back together if I were you.

    Just stick a new pair of carbon brushes in the motor and you’re off again for another 5. 😉

    Re: New washing machine

    Very nice! Way over your earlier quoted budget mind you, and similar in spec to the one I referred to earlier. Except yours features and induction motor and more complex electronics. Your choice after all. 😀

    Exactly that, nothing more.

    As for your old Bosch, I do concur with Andy, it is fixable and can be for years to come. But it’s best days are well behind. It is costly to run and no doubt shakes, rattles and rolls in the process. Might be time to ‘up grade?’

    But, if your alias ‘Scotland’ is a clue then the cheapest option may be the ultimate conclusion. 😉

    CDSL have never been a mystery to me. They are just rip-off middle men charging funny money for Bosch stuff you can buy cheaper anyway direct from BSH. The only time I would buy spares from a wholesaler is if the manufacturer was out of stock and I was desperate to obtain that part. Usually though if BSH haven’t got it then spookily the wholesaler is out of stock….funny that.

    If Jackal and his 30k spares (PER CALENDER MONTH, for Christ sake) purchasing power can’t hit it off with CDSL then how the fuff is a one man band gonna get anywhere with them…….answers on a postcard please to:-

    tangerine81 wrote:Just wanted to add that the washing machine is as close to the sink as it possibly can be, the hose is just far too short!

    Yes and short for a reason in that the tiny little low power gravity pump inside your machine isn’t capable of shifting waste water beyond those rather restrictive limits. So you may need to fit a full length, one piece drain hose. You can buy a 2.5 metre one piece hose. But I suspect that won’t be long enough?

    Out of interest, how far from the back of the machine to the drain pipe does it need to be in your case?
