Re: Bosch V696 motor not turning
Capacitor found, a new one fitted and, hey presto, the old machine lives again. Sadly, the drain pump is leaking now… does UKWhitegoods stock a replacement?

Re: Bosch V696 motor not turning
Thank-you for your response Martin, although it appears that your exclamation key is sticking…
I have had a further look at the V696 washer-dryer and cannot locate the capacitor, to which you refer.
I have taken a few pictures; three dials are at the front of the machine. Working clockwise in this picture:
I can see the pressure switch, the timer’s wiring connector, a metal plate that runs from to the back of the machine and an extension bar that leads to an extra timer for the dryer function, which is situated out of shot.
This is what is situated beneath the metal plate, which is connected to the middle dial:
It does not look like a capacitor to me, unless I am mistaken.
I have taken a look at the schematic diagram (http://www.bosch-home.co.uk/store/spare … /V69635/00) and the part is identified as a “regulator – temperature”, which leads me to believe a capacitor is unlikely to be incorporated.
There is a capacitor, located on the backplate, but it is pretty small, part number 043806, and I doubt that this has anything to do with the motor but, again, I am prepared to be proven wrong.
Finally, here’s a pic of the sticker inside the door.
Any further ideas as to where I can try next?
Thanks again,Rob
Re: Bosch V696 motor not turning
Thanks for your reply. Things have been so busy with a baby arriving but i can spare a bit of energy fixing the machine.
I have taken the top off. There is no capacitor adjacent to the main wash timer that i can see. There are three dials. The main timer, the wash temp dial in the middle and the dryer timer selector on the left as you look at the machine.
Any other suggestions as to where the capacitor might be? I have found that if you turn the drum manually, it runs fine but there is no ‘kick’ to start it turning…
Any more ideas?
Thanks guys!!
Re: Bosch SGS55C02GB – any good?

I will try and get a pic if the machine up here soon. Basically, it will be free to a good home!
Anyone interested?
Re: Bosch SGS55C02GB – any good?
Thanks Jim: I had wondered whether I had asked an idiotic question…
Basically, the Miele will cost at least £60 in parts to repair, assuming I have made a correct diagnosis. Getting a Miele engineer out is just not cost effective, sadly. It is a pity, considering the machine had a brand new Miele pump fitted around 2 years ago.
I am also a bit tired of Miele’s attitude to retaining info and spare parts availability. I wonder if it is breaking any European Block Exception legislation…
Anyway, I have been offered the Bosch for £75 but, even if it breaks down, at least engineers have experience of the model and can get hold of the parts!
Re: Miele G540, not heating water
Right, I managed to get beneath the machine last night and found that, tucked up inside its gubbins was a little pouch that contained a wiring diagram, dated 1981. Result!
Or not. I checked that the hoses leading to the two pressure switches were unblocked, which they were. Looking at the wiring diagram, there are several thermostats (50, 58, 67 and 72 degrees) and so, thinking logically, surely a thermostat failure would only affect one washing programme and not all of them?
The wiring diagram also describes a Klixon Thermostat and a Klixon Heater Limiter L 170. What are these components for?
Failing me making a diagnosis, does any engineer in the Kidderminster/Worcester area work on Miele?

Re: Miele G540, not heating water
Thanks for the reply. I was getting worried then. I will have a little invesigation at the pressure switch blockage and will let you know.

Re: Gran’s Bosch washer
Parts arrived, many thanks; but I am a little confused with the pump. An Askol 291024 has been provided which looks nothing like the original drain pump (see image below). Is it the correct part and if so, how is it meant to be fitted?
Re: Gran’s Bosch washer
thanks Martin but the plastic moulding section that forms a hinge at the rear of the pump is broken, so is that section replaceable or am I looking at an alternative pump?
Re: Gran’s Bosch washer
next stage of the saga: the pump! I have to be honest, I would like to replace the pump because, if the pic below works, it has been leaking for some time and also one of the hinges that attach the plastic section to the pump (secured by the metal retaining clip) is broken.
Would a replacement pump simply bolt on, or are the original pumps still available for less than the price of a world cruise?
Thanks again! (pretty pic attached – hopefully!)
