Bosch washing machine will not spin

 

 

There are a number of reasons why your Bosch washing machine will not spin, watch the video for the 3 main faults.

 

This video will show you how to find the fault on your Bosch washing machine that will not spin or turn the drum during the rinse cycles.

There are 3 possible causes to this.

1 Your Bosch washing machine can’t drain the water.

2 The motor is at fault, this is possibly the brushes.

3 There may be a fault on the wiring or one of the PCB’S (printed circuit boards)

If your Bosch washing machine is not turning the drum at all, then there is a chance that it could be just a problem with the motor, wiring or PCB and nothing to do with a blockage.

    I have a Bosch Washing Machine that does not spin because a shirt got caught in the door after the machine started to run and the spin cycle will not work. the stuck shirt was not allowing the drum to spin. The motor seemed to be trying to turn the drum but could not do it.
    Can you tell me what happened? Did the motor burn out our did a belt come off?

    Washing done stopped about 24 mins from end then went on when finished machine beeped but washing still soaking wet

    • First thing to check is the pump for any blockages and make sure that all the pipes are clear at the bottom of the machine, the next thing you need to check is the carbon brushes in the motor

    My Bosch Axxis doesn’t spin. We’ve checked the hoses (no blockage), we’ve checked the motor (nothing), and replaced the carbon brushes. Where can I find the printed circuit board on the stacked washer/dryer (dryer on top)? Thank you in advance.

    Hello, I have a Bosch washing machine. When there is 1 minute left in the cycle, the machine just keeps going round and does not stop. I have to stop it manually but the clothes have not been drained. I then put it on the gentle spin cycle where the clothes are drained and spun and then the machine stops automatically as it should and the clothes are fine.

    We have checked for any blockages in the filter and checked that the propeller freely spins and that’s all fine. So we are not sure what the problem is? Please could you help? Thank you.

    Hi,

    We have had a Bosch front loader washing machine for about 6 years.

    For the last 15 months it has been in storage because we were overseas.
    When we tried to use it the drum will not turn. The motor seems to be trying, but nothing happens. Also, we cannot manually turn the drum.

    Any suggestions?

    Paul

    My washing machine won’t spin it makes a clicking sound (almost like a miniture jack hammer). It hadn’t drained either. I have removed the filter plug and a large amount of water has come out.
    I then tried putting it on a spin cycle and just got the clicking noise again with no movement.
    Can you please advise what I should try next?

    hello
    My washing machine squeezes the water in some programs, and in other, it does not, and then a filter mark icon appears on the display panel. In other programs, as I mentioned, it does squeeze the water and everything is normal. What could be the problem?
