I have a Bosch model WFK 2401 front load washing machine. The drum has stopped rotating at all. The machine fills up with water and drains properly but will not rotate at all. I did notice with my last wash that the machine sounded strange. Can I fix this- and where can I find a picture of the inner workings of this machine so I know what to fix- HELP !?!

leaks could be from anywhere. remove the top and back cover, put on a cycle and try to trace where leak is. sorry if this is not very helpful. water in filter should not smell. this may be due to using liquid detergent which causes a smell like drains if used over a period. put on a boil wash and revert to using powder

I'm having a hard time understanding what is happening with my Bosch. Mine is filling and then immediately emptying out. Then the door unlocks but the timer indicates 45 minutes left (or so) and the door lock light is still on. Usually the only cycle that spins now is the spin cycle, but this doesn't help me get the soap out of the clothes still in the drum.

When the machine fills but doesn't rotate, the water level seems low as well. I had a repair man out who thought it might be the door latch sensor needing replacing (honestly, my toddler was pushing that button repeatedly), but I don't think that's it.

What does work: I unplug it for a while. Then if I'm lucky and the laundry Gods are shining down on me, I can wash normally (usually I'm luckier on Permanent Press but I always used to use the Cotton side). However, once I turn the machine "off," that's it all the problems persist so I have to wash it all, one load after another.

Remove rear panel of washer.
Remove drive belt.
Unscrew the 2 bolts that hold motor to tub back.
Remove motor plug
Lever notor back with a screwdriver or similar, keeping a firm hold on motor.and remove motor
At the rear end of motor away from pulley you will see the brushes and the armature.
Remove brushes, and if there is less than 4 or 5mm of carbon left, then replace them.
Lightly clean the armature with emery cloth.
Refit in reverse order. Test.

Hi, How old is your maxx? Have you ever experienced this before?
This is quite a common problem and can be sorted quite cheap to. You will need to take the back off depending on which model you have to access the motor! Take the motor off and then we can sort the problem.....
Get back to me....

Check the exit hose behind the machine, the one going into the standpipe. This should be around 3 feet up from the ground level, and then into the standpipe. It shd be about six inches into the standpipe & not too tight into it.

This hose may have fallen off, the reason why your water drains away, instead of collecting in the machine to commence a wash. The next to check is the thin tube coming up from the pump area to the pressure switch. Maybe this has come loose or there is a puncture in it.

Pl give me a good rating for the free help, if helped ie.
