Bosch washing machine WAA20160GB/01 Drum does not turn and will not spin, but the water empties

I have a washing machine that is no longer spinning or turning. It will finish the cycle and removes the water out of the drum, but the clothes are still soaking wet. Have you got a video to show me what the problem could be

I will try and help with this problem bosch Washing machine WAA20160GB/01

Good afternoon Richard, yes I've put a video below to assist you in this problem. It is usually the carbon brushes in the motor but you will be able to inspect them. I've also put some other information with common faults with these machines and also exploded diagram of your machine below with all the parts listed.

The Bosch WAA20160GB washing machine has proven to be a reliable appliance with only a few common faults. One such issue is the absence of water entering the machine, which could be attributed to a fault in the water valve or the pressure bowl system connected to the pressure switch.

Another prevalent problem is the machine's inability to spin or rotate, often caused by worn carbon brushes in the motor. Additionally, the heater may occasionally become open circuit, leading to faults such as tripping the RCD supply or failing to heat the water.

In some cases, the machine may struggle to empty within the designated time frame. This issue can be traced back to a blockage in the pump, sump hose, or sink fitting. Though the circuit boards for these machines are generally robust, they have been known to fail on rare occasions. It should be noted that replacement boards must be matched to specific model numbers due to preloaded software.

To assist with component replacement, instructional videos are available, as well as new and second-hand parts for this particular model at the bottom of the page. We strive to recycle whenever possible since many parts remain functional when a machine is scrapped due to worn bearings or corroded spiders, rendering it uneconomical for repair.

Changing the bearings on these machines is indeed possible - I hope this information proves helpful.
