Re: Bosch Classixx 1400 Express washing machine won,t spin

Hi Silverbroom, thank you for your time,

the machine is used twice a day – we have 4 children who like mud!.

Ive removed one of the brushes and its about 10mm in length from its base (where the braided wire connectes into it) to the worn surface that mates with the motor shaft. Is that too short now for the braided cable to permit the spring to make a good contact with the motor shaft? – that would kinda make sense actually cos I can get the machine to turn at all now! Ive looked on the net and can get replacement brushes – since you have helped me is there a shop or site that you favour or work for? – Im happy to use it, and should I buy genuine Bosch or aftermarket product?

thanks again for your time,

Stew

Hi Silverbroom, thanks for the reply,

Model No. E-Nr. WAE28162GB/03 FD 8603 605134

yes I should have been more specific – sorry, the machine will turn the drum and yesterday, after posting my message, it ran through a whole wash and spin cycle absolutely fine. The motor sounds fine and washes fine but its again now not spinning after a wash cycle where it has heated water, turned the drum to wash the clothes as normal but won’t spin the water out. I can only think that its a sensor or circuit board fault, If I turn it to ‘DRAIN’ it empties fine too. Its odd cos when I select any spin speed the related ‘diode’ lights but a couple of the others are dimly lit too – I don’t think that its a spread of light from the selected ‘diode’ – Ive never noticed this before,

Its as if the machine has become confused as to what it should be doing next or as if there is some ‘prohibition’ on it spinning – it can do it but seems to be choosing not to!!!

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Stew
