I ran my bosch through a maintainance cycle today, and i went down and it was on the end of the cycle line. and the door was still locked and the prewash light was flashing! So i ran it back through a spin and it emptied and worked fine. But now and again the pump does stick and buzzes as opposed to just draining. So i'm suspecting a faulty pump. However for the price of a bosch pump i could get another 2nd hand machine. Theres nothing in the manual to tell me what the flashing lights mean and theres never too much info on bosch machines on the net. I'll just keep my eye on it and some cash aside and see what happens. Darren |

Okay, So i cleaned the pump. only the tinyest bit of grit and fluff and i mean hardly any not enough for a problem. So i guess its just a tired pump? Yes dyson2drums its indentical to my bros machine i've gots of on youtube except its 1400rpm. I'm tempted just to buy it now purely because its a bargain! Darren |

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I mentioned it to my g.f and she said i should have kept the hotpoint lol. no way. But she was obv leaning towards me spendin £10 on a pump rather than £50 on a new machine! Though it's a hell of a bargain. Favorit: I always enjoy your input. And your are right. There is more flexibility with her. You can do a short cottons wash with maximum capacity in 1hr! Though the things enticing me about the younger model is the 6kg capacity, 1400rpm spin...hmmm. Darren |

Hows the pump Darren, all sorted?? Hi Nick, good overview of machines had, I must admit I have never had a great run on Bosch washers but sold two to friends and family recently and they love em and I`m really impressed with them after using them!!!simple & stylish, yet do the job, one replaced a 12 yr old zanussi 1000spin 4.5kg load and cant get over how big the 6kg drum is and how much drier the clothes are at 1200spin.... |

Hey guys, So i've got my pump and i'm planning to do the changeover today, however i was thinkin i would try and change it from the bottom of the machine so i don't have to strip it down as i'm not o'fair with how bosch machines come apart i.e the controls, do they pull off? Do you have unscrew anything. And i don't really want to have to mess around realigning the door seal and spring. But having looked through the panel at the bottom, the jubalee clips holding the hoses to the pump are pointing upwards. I do think it would be possible to change it from underneath but axcess will be compromised. Any input from anyone would be cool Darren |
