Re: Bosch Exxcel 1400 Spin cycle problem
I’d like to let you all know how useful again I found this forum. A similar spin problem happened again today and on re-reading the threads here I decided to look at the motor again – (cheap) brushes still fine but commutator heavily carboned. Lacking a ‘comstick’ I cleaned it with emery paper and BINGO!
For the mods and ‘Martin’ – still ‘Plumbers Mate Free’. No cold turkey/withdrawal symptoms. 🙂

Doctor Martin – I am cured of my Plumber’s Mate-it-is 🙂
Sorted and dry as a bone now – thanks again all.

….Plumbers Mate indeed…Good Lord?
– just remember you are dealing with an amateur here 😀
Did all that first time round but it does not seal properly. I’ll have another go and put the PM out of reach…….
Re: Bosch Exxcel 1400 Spin cycle problem
Funny you should ask………………….. I needed them on Saturday with Mrs threatening divorce as the washing piled up so I bought ‘look-a-likes’ – HOWEVER, the bizare news is that 2 washes have gone through this am with NORMAL spin, so I guess you may be spot on! I did wonder also if I might have thrown some water around in the process and it has dried out?
Further query now the major panic MIGHT be over (marriage saved…… :rolls: )
1) The little black drain tube produces no more than a few drips when the drum is full – is it prone to blocking and can it be cleared?
2) I removed the pump chamber cap during the work on Saturday and now have a small weep from it, despite a little jointing compound applied. Is there a ‘trick’ to seal it or do I need more Plumber’s Mait?
