I have a bosch washing machine exxcel 1400.
I put a load of washing in and put the machine on. The cycle won't finish and the door won't open. When I turn the dial to rinse/ spin / drain, nothing happens.
What can I do?
Sounds like you have a blocked pump.To empty the machine manually lower the drain hose into a bowl or bucket.Once emptied the door should open.On most modern machines there will be a filter behind the kick plate at bottom front of machine, Check this for any foreign objects then try a spin before putting on again.If problem persists come for further options.
If the pump runs but drum does not turn then the next step is to check the motor brushes.To do this take back plate off machine and remove belt and motor.At rear end of motor you will see brush holders with a wire attached.Remove brush to check for wear.When new the carbons are around 40mm long. Let me know how you get on,

Thank you for this advice. I drained off several litres of water. I then found a couple of bits - old coin, broken paper clip in the filter. However it still doesn't work in the spin cycle. What can I try next?
Washing machine door is locked. Now that the cycle is finished the door will not unlock. I have tried turning it on and off with no luck.
