SOURCE: BOSCH WASHER REPLACEMENT PART

I have the same problem. Bosch no longer stocks the replacement for my particular washer which has the same model no but could be a different fd #. I now have the wrong part as directed by bosch which doesnt have the hose connection. I am not sure what to do with the hose leading to nowhere. Bosch is living off of an undeserved good reputation.


In the present, the reputation is not deserved. Bosch products should only be recommended to enemies. The company and the especially the customer service is beyond deplorable. I hate these appliances. I feel ripped off! The part by the way, which is wrong, is 100.00 with tax.

SOURCE: I get a check water tap error 2 to 4 times a load

I have this problem. This code is due to restriction of water flow. In my case, we have sand in our water, and I have installed a filter between the water line and the washer. When it gets clogged, the flow is restricted and the Check Water Tap message appears. Your washer has filters on the back of the washer itself that may be clogged and need cleaning (which is why I installed the water filter between the washer & water line to prevent it from getting into the washer filter). Your washer manual shows you how to check/clean them. Also, you may have low water pressure during summer months due to lawn watering in your area that could cause this lower water pressure.

SOURCE: While washer is on spin

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.


Based on your post,
"sounds as though there is a coin or screw spinning around in behind trap door" this is usually associated with something in the drain pump or pump filter.
Yes you should open it...however make sure you have a wet-dry vacuum or lots of towels first as there is likely some water present since it is the drain pump and filter you're dealing with. These are the steps I'd suggest you take to move forward...


**Unplug the washer from the wall or turn off the breaker before attempting any repairs**

Get some towels and if possible a wet/dry vac. as I mentioned If the machine mostly drained, it won't be too bad.
( maybe you`re lucky enough to be close to a floor drain )
Lets begin...

  1. Locate the round door on the front of the machine (about 6" in diameter, lower right corner) macmarkus_26.jpg
  2. Find a drill bit or small screwdriver that fits in the hole in the round door.
macmarkus_30.jpg

3. Insert the bit into the hole in the door. It will push in a tab, it doesn't take much force. Rotate the hole (clockwise) to 6'oclock and it should come free. (the edges are very sharp so be careful...I usually cover the edges with electrical or duct tape or wear welders gloves).

4. Once the door is out of the way you'll be greeted by a 3-4" plastic cap with wings so you can unscrew it by hand or with the aid of pliers.

macmarkus_32.jpg

( you should also see a ring with a string attached, if you pull this the door should unlatch, but getting the water out first is usually a good plan )

macmarkus_31.jpg THIS RELEASES THE DOOR LATCH IF PULLED

There is a small collector lip at the bottom of the cap, that is where you can hold the wet/dry vac to catch the water. Unscrew slowly so you don't get flooded, until it is unscrewed all the way out

5. Now pull out the trap and visually inspect the inside of the pump as well as the filter/trap.

Hopefully you'll find the item/debris that initiated your post here.

6. After removing any debris or obstruction`s re-install the button trap/lint filter and plug the washer in to power or reset the breaker and give it a test.

7. Run a load and watch for leaks. Leave the pump access door off until you are sure you screwed the cap in tight and there are no leaks.

Let me know if you require further assistance and if not and this solves your problem, please rate the solution I provided accordingly.

Thank you for coming to "FixYa" and good luck.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

Hello there, I have a Bosch Logixx dishwasher which I purchased just over 2 years ago. My upper dishwasher tray is not fitting properly into the hose pipe holes on the inside of the back wall of the...

Hello Deepak,

You can definitely fix this yourself, but I'm not entirely sure from your description which part is "dropping off". It may be a simple fix where something needs to be clipped back into place or you may need to replace something. Please can you take a look at the images below and identify which part you are having trouble with.

Below is the back of the upper spray arm which clips on to the upper rack. It has a grey plastic cover behind which is a large white plastic washer / gasket. The washer simply slots in to the back of the spray arm and the grey cover clips in over the top.

Your description suggests the grey plastic cover and/or the white washer are dropping off. If the grey plastic cover is missing, it may have fallen into the bottom of the washer under the lower rack, in which case you should be able to find it and clip it back on. If it's missing or wont clip back on, you will need to replace the upper spray arm as the cover and washer are not available separately.

belectric_191.jpg

This is the water delivery tube which clips to the back wall of the washing compartment. There is a metal clip which secures the tube to the wall. The open hole and one of the spigots slot in to the two holes in the back of the upper spray arm above. The spigot used depends on which height setting the upper rack is on.

belectric_192.jpg

Basically, everything simply clips together. If nothing is broken, you should be able to fix this at no cost by simply clipping the offending part back into place.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance or help locating replacement parts, please let me know what needs to be replaced. Nearly all Bosch parts are available and in stock direct from Bosch.

Regards,
BElectric

Will not drain

Hello, Welcome to FixYa. You've stated that the drain hose has been checked, have you also inspected inside the drain pump ? Does the unit display any error code, i.e. E13 or E04 etc ? Also if you could varify the unit is indeed a WFMC6400 before going much further it will save on potential mis-information...its best to be clear from afar. I'll watch for your reply so we can move towards a solution for you. macmarkus :)

My bosch wfmc6400 is tripping the breakers and gfis. I try different outlets and all the wires under the top panal are secure. what is the next step thanks bill

There aren't many things that will trip the mains. If it happens straight away or 10mins into cycle it is probably the heating element dropping down to earth. If it is during the final spin it is most likely the motor. Check heater first. Hope this helps.

Washer won't spin out 1 item of clothing

Hello,

most front load washer`s, including Bosch will not spin single items out very well, or at all. The reason is weight differential. The motor measures the difference from one side of the basket to the other as it rotates back & forth, if it is not equal after approximately 15-20 attempts, it will simply advance to the off position.

Try adding another item of equal or similar mass and it should be fine.

Hope that answer`s your question. Thank`s for visiting`"fixya" for your washer inquiry. Let me know if you require further assistance and good luck.

Black spots on plastic items

I have the same problem on my Bosch dishwasher Model # SHX33A05UC. It is about 6 years old. I have replaced three gaskets and it did not solve the problem. I am a 25 year mechanical engineer. I do not recommend anyone changing these gaskets on their own except for the long dishwasher door gasket (which goes along the top, left and right door edges) which is quite easy to replace. The other two gaskets, which were quite difficult to replace, were the gasket at the bottom of the dishwasher door and the sump pump gasket. I am still having the tar like black tiny dots depositing on my plastic tupper wear on the second shelf. I will likely not buy a Bosch dishwasher ever again. I will make my decision after hearing what Bosch tech support has to say about what I need to replace next. Could it be the rubber drain check valve not operating correctly? I need to find out. I have spent so much time trying to solve this black tar dot problem!!!

WFMC3200UC Broken Plastic Piece

here is a link which shows the exploded diagram for your washer - perhaps you can identify the part; https://portal.bsh-partner.com/portal(bD1kZSZjPTAwOQ==)/PORTALFRAME.HTM and here is the parts list; https://portal.bsh-partner.com/portal(bD1kZSZjPTAwOQ==)/PORTALFRAME.HTM at the top you can order parts direct from bosch. Here is the link to the user manual if you need it; http://www.bshextranet.com/files/techtoolbox/WFMC3200uc.pdf If you have no luck with this then; Best thing you can do is to take a picture of the part and where you think it came from, and either post it again here or e-mail it to your nearest bosch dealer (page 26 of the manual has a phone number). Hope this helps :) ps - if you do contact them, please tell Bosch how good the access to their product literature is - if all manufacturers did this our landfill sites would be half as full - they deserve some praise :)
