That’s a good point. I’ll take a look at that first.
Thanks Dave.

True, but us diy’ers often have to resort to the process of elimination. If the valve doesn’t fix it then I’ll need to move to the next thing. It normally works out cheaper than getting someone in and can be very satisfying?

Re: Powder vs Liquid vs Tablets?

Thanks for that.
Will these powders leach colour from clothes over time or is the oxygen based bleach ok in that respect?

Re: Powder vs Liquid vs Tablets?

I’m trying to clean up my Bosch wfl 2260 after years of cool washes using liquid, and no maintenance washes. It is not a pleasant job. I was almost sick when I emptied the drain.
I’ve run a hot wash with Soda Crystals, followed by a hot wash with Ariel (bleach agent containing) powder. Even now I am still getting lumps of scaly gungy stuff floating in the drum, so I’ve just repeated the second wash.
My wife won’t use Biological powders (insists that they irritate her more than I do), and I can’t find a non-bio containing bleaching agents – do they exist?
Many thanks to the pro’s on this site for your help. Reading past threads has got my machine running sweetly. A few years ago I would have binned it and sent a few more Euros into Germany. The WFL has done 6 years with just brush changes, so can’t complain – having 3 kids means it gets used about twice a day.

Re: Bosch WFL 2260 Access

Thanks all.
Replaced the brushes last night. I lay the machine on the front surface after completely draining it. Running well now although when first powered up and set to spin it didn’t move and made some crackling noise. I figured that the brushes were not “bed in”, so I gave the drum a careful bump start and off it went.
