Re: Bosch SGS 0902GB/04 will not turn on

Hi Toothbrushes,
That is really interesting because the first time it went wrong I also tested the switch which seemed okay, but when I put the machine back together it worked. Then it stopped working again so I decided to investigate further. At first I was unable to get into the body of the machine not realising you had to remove the ‘lid’ to get into it and so I tilted it backwards (a long way, nearly onto its back) to look underneath. Ureeka – that solved the problem until it was turned off again. Alas, I have just tried similar ’tilt treatment’ again but to no avail. 🙁
I have cleaned all contacts I can find and have also taken the control module out and cleaned all the contacts there and visually checked for dry joints. I am reluctant to try a new board on an 8 year old machine but I would be more tempted if this works for you! I could not find a part no. on this site for a board – how did you manage to find it?
I must admit, I am tempted to dump it and buy a Miele; I have not been impressed with Bosch having a 6 year old washing machine (also top of range) which is cosmetically poor with plastic which became badly discoloured after only 18 months and rust around the soap dispenser. Bosch were very uncooperative when I complained about deterioration of such and young machine and I will not buy their goods again. The Miele fridge on the other hand has been fantastic quality and still looks and performs as good as new.
If you have success repairing your machine please will you let me know; I will re-post here if I succeed.
Cheers,
Guy.
