My washing machine is about 5 years old and recently the wash programme will not progress to rinse and spin and continues on wash well beyond the full cycle time, resetting the clock and means I have to manually move on to rinse and spin or the machine will continue in wash cycle for hours - help!

Hi,
I`ve just spoken with Bosch Product Advice service about this problem. This could be happen when door is open after programme has been started. I didn`t check yet is working.
Thanks, roman
SOURCE: Bosch classixx 1000 washing machine - stops on spin
Washing machine stops at the spin cycle - light flashes. Have to drain water out manually. Happened last week and was then able to run an empty rinse cycle. Machine worked normally for another week. Same problem today but have had to drain water manually from the drum after trying an empty 90 wash and rinse cycle (both stopped on the Spin and flashed). Any ideas? Thanks. x

Your pump/filter is plugged. (E4) There
is a round door on the lower front of the washer. There is a small hole near
the door. Put a small screwdriver blade in the hole, push in just a little, and
you can rotate the door clockwise, the door will come out and you can get to
the problem. When the water is drained
in machine the door is open able.
Immediately facing you is a black connector, about 4 inches (10cm) in diameter.
When you unscrew this, all the water left in the washer will spill out onto the
floor. Use a plastic bag to catch this or a small pan.(later models have a
drain hose?) The black connector unscrews counterclockwise, and takes quite a few turns. Once you have it out, you'll find
the source of your clog. Remove it, clean out, screw the black connector back
in. You can check with rinse, if you
want to make sure there are no leaks. Put
the door back on and rotate. I will try to come back to you re. the wash, wash.
Pl rate me 'very helpful' for the free help, thanks!

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter.
Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
