An addition.. pulled one apart, pulled drum apart and guess what I found.. the so called "spider"(the thing that attaches spindle that goes into bearing, and other side connects to the steel drum) is made if alloy and TOTALLY corroded by detergent.. Bosch didn't know that detergent is a corrosive substance???? I guess German engineers are .. put your own word.. ;)

if machine new have transit bolts been removed from rear of drum it amazes me how many of these get left in after delivery machine will go crazy if these left in drum should move backwards and forwards easily when door opened and drum pushes if solid remove bolts.

most front loaders are balanced by a large: ready for this: cement block inside at the top of your machine and because spin is so fast it can sometimes hit inside your machine or it has brokin a peice off ,sorry but yours going to have to get the repair person out.adrian

your main bearing is failing. this is a mayor repair issue. you need to call a repair expert. the bearing are molded at factory and require special tools to install. if you try driving them in by hammering you will damage them or wont last 3 to 6 month. depending on how old and how much you paid for the washer you may consider replacing it.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
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.
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!)
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!
