    Re: Bosch SMS50E02 check water light on

    Brilliant – thanks very much. I’ll give that a try and hopefully stop having to wash up by hand!

    Re: Bosch SMS50E02 check water light on

    Thanks for the reply.

    That would explain why I couldn’t see how the valve and hose came apart then!

    Is it a practical DIY fix? I class myself as fairly compentent – I served an engineering apprenticeship (years ago!) and I’ve changed drain pumps on washing machines and elements on tumble dryers successfully.
    If so, do you know the part number I’d be looking for?

    Thanks again,
    Phil

    Wow, yes it is. I’ve just looked it up. Time for a new machine I think. Thanks for your help over the past few weeks.

    Re: Bosch WTA4107 not heating

    Still trying – I have to wait until the fault reappears each time which can be a few days but it’s still there.
    The problem seems to be with the control board that sits at the top of the machine on the right hand side – the one with relays on it, not anything behind the controls. I can’t see any burnt or damaged terminals in the connector, nor any dry joints, cracks in the board or components which show signs of heat. That may be as much to do with my eyesight as anything else though.
    Do you know if the board is available as a part and if so how much it costs please?

    Thanks Martin. That one checks out ok as well.
    I have found that waggling the connectors on the control board and switches at the top of the machine gets it running for a few loads but then it stops heating and needs doing again. I can’t find any connection actually loose though.
    Any other ideas gratefully received!

    Re: Bosch WFF2000 problem

    I debated doing the job myself, but decided in the end that calling someone who knew what they were doing was likely to get the machine back up and running sooner and with more certainty!

    The local engineer from the web site is Carey’s in Ipswich. The engineer has just been, fixed the problem (it was new brushes needed) so we’re back with a working machine.

    Thanks to all on the web site and the engineer for your help.

    Re: Bosch WFF2000 problem

    Many thanks.

    The numbers off the back are WFF2000GB/01 and FD7507. I hope these are the relevant ones.

    I took the back off and had a look (not gone any further). There is a black coating of fine powder around the motor which I guess could well be the remains of the brushes. I didn’t note the motor number and I’ve put the back on again now!
