Re: Noisy Bosch WFF1201 Washing Machine ??

Sorry, Penguin45…..power ‘off’, back ‘off’….motor… 💡 thought it was a bummer to remove 2nd big bolt so i’d avoid the ‘dropping on floor…lifting up again’ hassle! in situ i’m afraid!

I didn’t therefore 😳

Re: Noisy Bosch WFF1201 Washing Machine ??

😀 Got the brushes and fitted them 😡 …first one, easily seen on right hand side..was a doddle (what’s all the fuss about i thought! :rolls: ) Then there was the ‘unseen’ one…left hand side from rear….aaargghhh! Spent ages on this…eventually had to cut a bit off the carbon …nope…then had to cut 1cm off the spring….2 hours in and out with the spade connector i did what you do not suggest (and neither do i !) i tilted it at an angle and worked through the gap so i could see what/where it was going in…aha! 😮 it finally STAYED in the slot. Bonus was that the machine did not fall on my neck (it was well wedged and wouldn’t do so but i was a bit daft i know….desperation! Smooth running Bosch now after the replacement fof brushes (and the pump earlier),
Many thanks again …GREAT SITE!!!

Re: Banging Bosch

😯 Despite a total clean-out of filters, etc & removing arms, cleaning them, replacing them & removing and cleaning the inlet and outlet pipes and the wee filter for inlet water pipe it’s only lasted 2 days before the banging comes back again!?
I reckon i may have to live with it…..it’s nearly 9 years old after all so i should be greatful that it’s actually still washing and cleaning the dishes i suppose.

thanks again, tomba.

Re: Noisy Bosch WFF1201 Washing Machine ??

Excellent! Many thanks too!!! Remeber fitting new brushes some years ago to a strimmer and some other motor but no doubt this will be pork by comparison…have read some other comments on other models (e.g. 2 hours….heavy motor, place protection on floor…don’t work underneath, take machine right out etc.).
Hopefully this will be my last Bosch W/M repair for some time.
Many thanks again Penguin45….the wash did go ok apart from a little ‘smell’….cooking a wee bit ( 😳 💡 ).
Will let you know how it goes next week!
Cheers!

Re: Noisy Bosch WFF1201 Washing Machine ??

One week on and another Bosch development 😳 . New pump is fitted and still working BUT the motor (that causes drum to spin etc.) has now started ‘crackling’ and small sparks can be seen coming from the centre spindle (if you lie flat and look through base space :rolls: ). Also ‘electrical burning smell’ now coming from it (it’s running as we ‘speak’). Is it a “simple” matter of obtaining and replacing the motor brushes (if it has any)?
Many thanks again,
Tomba

Re: Banging Bosch

Thanks nomadPaul. I’ll try this remedy tomorrow (on night shifts so a bit ‘wabbit’ just now). I’ll try to follow the other threads you suggested too and will let you know if i’m successful.
Thanks again!

Re: Noisy Bosch WFF1201 Washing Machine ??

Many thanks to all who helped me here. New pump has been fitted and there have been two successful and quiet washes since (and a happy wife). Old pump impellor was movable from side to side as suggested.
I was on the verge of scrapping it as i thought the old Bosch was giving up (9 years and estimated 1800 washes!).
Glad i found this website!

Re: Banging Bosch

Hi, I’ve got exactly the same problem with my Bosch. Model is SGS5002GB (seen on steel at top of door when you open it). It’s developed this random banging noise recently…appears to be nothing to do with the water supply to the dishwasher. Pipies everywhere else in the house are ‘silent’. It’s like a cupboard door getting banged closed…weird! Dishwasher seems otherwise unaffected although the little ‘tablet compartment’ release door hing broke off last week but i think this is unrelated as banging noise persists at same level.
Is it maybe the drain pump starting to give up?
Thanks.

Re: Noisy Bosch WFF1201 Washing Machine ??

Hi, my Bosch WFF1201 is nine years old, regularly (10 times a week) used and has developed what appears to be a similar problem over last 3 months. Intermittent failure to ‘drain’ and reluctance to progress past ‘4’ on dial. It has developed a loud ‘machine gun’ rattling droning vibrating noise during the cycle but it’s not always there(?). Filter is cleaned and clear (wee bit sand…tiny amount, honest, that’s all).
Could this be the same as your problem requiring the £29.95 + £3.45 dely pump? Will the pump sort all noises as well?
Thanks.

Re: Worried re “Diplomat” items ordered via MFI

Hi. Just thought i’d let you know that we have now had a five-burner Diplomat Gas Hob (MFI) for nearly a year now and never had any problems. Reliable, good even burning rings etc. No worries.
