A very useful video but my Bosch WFL 2450 washing machine had the pump secured to the pump housing with a single screw that had to be removed before the pump could be turned on the bayonet fixing and released. It was difficult to see the screw head so my suggestion is to check for its presence before applying any force to release the pump.

@eSpares 5 лет назад

Hi Deanne, thank you for your post and the information you have supplied on your model which will be useful to other people read your comment.

@robertbotman4881 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video..... For general knowledge.... On my Bosch Nexxt 300 series WFMC2201UC, the specifications from the repair manual are as follows. Measure resistance all parts disconnected. Heater 13.7 - 15.2 ohms NTC 22.8 - 27.4 kilo ohms @68 degrees F. Water inlet valves 2.7 - 4.5 kilo ohms. Drain pump 140 - 200 ohms. Also, E13 can be a pain to fix.....Usually is the pump, but also too much detergent being used can throw that code too. One often overlooked repair is to remove both drain hoses and thoroughly clean them out. They may be restricting drainage flow from pump. (One hose comes from pump to back of washer from inside machine. The other is the drain hose from the back of machine on the outside.) These hose can get clogged with all sort of crap and build up. OK....still with me? Steps for a happy Bosch washer. Clean drain hoses or replace. Descale heater element. Clean water inlet valves. Try a little spray of auto brake cleaner spray into front and back of valves......Obviously wipe excess and run some empty wash cycles. Mine cleared out some stuff. Check to make sure screens are clear too. Check water supply hoses for good water pressure. (disconnect and see how water flows into bucket. Should be a pretty strong flow. Clean pump trap....or replace pump if needed. I hope this helps some people with their repairs.

Thank you for this info. I can't afford tradesmen anymore, they charge like a wounded bull. Now I see how easy it is to replace parts too.

@bigroo 11 лет назад

So easy with your clear instructions. Using your videos, I narrowed it down to the pump & will change that soon. Thanks :)

@ourhouseuk 6 месяцев назад

This was helpful. On our older washer the pump is at try e front and to really get purchase on the hose clamp you have to release the small housing which can be done by releasing four clips on the inside of the front and then a screw next to the drain filter

@bvishal6819 5 лет назад

You saved me at least $200 if not more. My pump was working but filter was blocked completely with 21 collar stays- both metal and plastic ones. I had made three attempts to open the front panel of my Bosch washer dryer but was not successful. After watching your video, I had the courage to make another attempt and was successful this time. Opened top panel, followed by back panel, then removed the three screws behind the laundry detergent sliding plastic compartment. Then removed the control panel (containing knob with various washer dryer cycle options ) by pushing the white colour latch on the right hand side from behind, outwards. It needs a simple push outwards whilst pulling the top 3 plastic bits (also) of the control panel using hand. I could then access the screws holding the front panel in place. I removed washing machine door also. Then removed the metal wire containing spring around the (rubber) cover of the drum. I then laid the washing machine on its back (rather than one its side) and removed three bolts at the bottom holding bottom panel and front panel in place. I then removed 4 screws on the plastic panel that sits at the bottom of the front panel which has the drainage tube and filter plug. I could then remove the front panel and access the filter. Removed the collar stays blocking the filter.

DAMN, That was it. You saved us $$$$$. We washed a 3" X 3" micro fiber cloth that got sucked in the lint collector. So easy. Just one thing. You should get a wet dry vacuum and get as much water out of the drum as possible. Then have towels for the water that is in the hose that will drain out. Thank you!

@eSpares 8 лет назад

+Deborah Eckdahl Good tip about using a wet and dry vacuum to help empty the water. Glad to hear you sorted your problem.

@MsAmandawood 9 лет назад

Thanks. I checked this video as my machine stopped draining properly and I figured it wasn't pumping. I had tried to clean the fluff filter but it would only move half a turn. We tipped the machine almost onto it's back and removed the one end of black rubber pipe that is attached to one end of the filter. From there we were able to access the filter from the side and pulled out several hair clips, a coin, wet fluff, and a usb. After that the dial loosened and we were finally able to clean it out properly. Thankfully, we didn't need to replace the pump. The machine is working properly now. :) Your clip definitely gave me the confidence to give this a go. Thanks

@eSpares 9 лет назад

Hi Amanda, your blockage was explained in another one of our videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frEJhX9Sppw.html Glad you managed to sort it out and may we recommend a couple of other videos that may help your washing machine to last longer:  ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uKBy-9NEF5A.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ifWK9df1qgg.html

@michaeldaniel4088 9 лет назад

Viewed your Video and greatly appreciated your presentation. I have a BOSCH Washer WFK2401UC which is very similar to the one in the video. I was able to diagnose that the poor draining and damp clothes was most likely an accumulation of the dirt and particulate buildup over the years of use. I removed turned off all of the electricity, water , and disassembled the back and top installation plates, and removed the Pea Trap and hoses from the drain pump. The buildup was considerable. I cleaned all of the hoses up and reassembled the components. The Washer works great now. Thanks so much for your presentation and time. You really assisted me in the task.

@eSpares 9 лет назад

Hi Michael, Not sure if that was causing your problem or if it has just cleared temporarily. Damp clothes after a spin suggests either the motor brushes are at the end of their live giving intermittent drive. or the problem could be due to an out of balanced load stopping the machine from spinning to full speed. Check out the following videos in case the problem re occurs. How to replace washing machine carbon brushes on a Bosch washer How to Prevent a Washing Machines Spinning Noisily

We have the Bosch NEXXT 500 series. Couldn't remove the bottom as you recommended in the comments section, but we were still able to complete the task with this video as a very helpful guide. Because of the bottom not coming off, our son held the pump in place from the front while hubby attached the hose from behind. It was quite a pain, but achievable. Thanks!

I have a Bosh classixx7. Thank you for this video. It gave me confidence to tackle my machine. It was my fluff bit, smashed and stuck by a 2.5" screw also jamming against the pump. After a lot of whiggling and carefully tweezed out bits (as there is a channel inside, above the pull out drain pipe) I ordered just the fluff bit from eurospares. My machine works! Thank you, you saved me money

@eSpares 8 лет назад

RE Michelle Ebbett's comment: The machine is filled by mains water pressure when the inlet valve is opened. If you have had a blockage it is possible the pump is damaged and the machine recognises this and prevents it filling.

@brianchapman9576 7 лет назад

Video gave me the confidence to try this out so thanks for that. A couple of niggles. My Bosch has a metal plate on the underneath so access is not as easy as shown on the video. Had to take the front foot plate off to access. Plus the spare part I ordered was the complete pump, not just the motor. Would be good to include a video showing the complete pump replacement as that's what I did.

@eSpares 7 лет назад

Hi Brian, thanks for the comments. As you found out manufacturers often change the designs of machines although the parts are often similar if not the same. We have many 'pump replacement' videos, some just the motor, others the complete assembly. If you are following a video for a part and it seems different to the machine you are working on it is worth looking for other videos as we may have a more similar machine layout that is from a different manufacturer.

@ELOGLE3 10 лет назад

Thanks for this video. It encouraged me to tackle my Bosch pump. It is fairly simple although there can be little differences and annoyances. The main one is, on the pump there is a grub screw that secures the pump to the housing. It cannot be seen in situ, but look at the replacement and you will see the need for its removal. Use a mirror and torch. The other is the screws which secure the back, top, pump have "torx" screwheads. I know it says this in the video, but I wasn't aware of the name. Luckily I have a set of these. I thought they were called "star" bits.

Yeah, so thanks for this video. I gleaned some useful information from it, such as stabilizing the drum before turning the machine on its side. However, few if any of the other details described my repair on an early model bosch nexxt. Maybe a disclaimer that states this only describes repairs to later models?

+cliff huffman The principal for pump replacement should be similar on most Bosch products and we hope this gave some general guidance. With literally hundreds of models we could not and not being the manufacturer we could not produce videos for them all.

For anyone trying this - My Bosch is very similar but there is a single screw at the back of the pump that needs to be removed first. Use a small mirror to find it.

Siemens WM14S794/GB here. I was choosing between the universal drain pump and the whole universal drain pump and filter assembly for a few quid more. I went for the latter.

For info, this model also has a screw behind the drain pump and no access through the bottom.

Thanks for the video! I have a question for you, my washer is giving me error code 13 so I'm sure it's probably just blockage, but when I twist off the cap to the drain pump it doesn't open all the way, so I can't get anything out; it's a different model than the ones on your videos. Would you have any idea how to open that up on a 500 series WFVC6450? The only thing I can think of is to take the washer apart and take the pump out as if I were replacing it, but I don't really want to do that. I have looked everywhere online that I can think of and I can't find instructions on how to open that specific kind of pump.

@eSpares 9 лет назад

Reply for Cindy Swaidan. When leaving comments ensure you do not 'disable replies as you may not receive notification of others comments. The likely reason for the pump blockage and stuck 'filter' is likely to be hair grips coins or other debris that has entered the pump from the tub hose and is preventing you removing it. You may be able to carefully lower onto its side and remove the tub hose from the pump to remove this debris and then the filter should come out.

@eSpares 9 лет назад

Jen Smet It can be surprising how little debris can stop a pump. If the pump plays up and does repeatedly get stuck replace it as this can sometimes be a problem.

@jensmet6208 9 лет назад

eSpares The pump works fine, no debris. Never thougt it could be possible but I found a sock in the drain between the tub and pump. I checked the "easy" things first, before getting all that rubber out, the drainpipes in the kitchen for example.......(and off course filter and pump)

@markhodges1276 5 лет назад

Quick question - given the bottom of the machine doesn't have a cover, why did you need to remove the top and back panels? Was it only to slip the cardboard in there? I have the original moving screws that lock the barrel in place, so theoretically I could just install them and tip it straight on it's side ride?

@eSpares 5 лет назад

Hi Mark, thank you for your post and you are correct it was to show more clearly on film where to put the cardboard on film if you do need to put it on its side just take care.

Very good video, but one important step missed out. After a long time trying to twist off the drain pump, with absolutely nothing moving, I removed the whole unit (fluff trap body complete with pump) from the machine. It was only then that I saw that on my Bosch model (Classix 1200) there is a screw holding the pump in, that has to be removed before the pump can be twisted off

Nice video but note my experience!. A blocked pump has plagued my 12 y.o. Bosch Maxx machine twice. Called an engineer first time (about 5 years ago) - nice guy I've used before- £35 for a 15min fiddle and errant 5p coin removed. He showed me enough to confidently try myself yesterday but I 'revised' by watching this item.I have the same model as in the video but....... Drained the flooded machine using the front tube and checked the filter -fine. NB no need for top off as the underside is open! Back of mine has oval inspection plate- one torx screw to remove then wedge the drum as shown in video. Rest machine with pump side down to easily access it-- NOW THE BIG DIFFERENCE- after wrestling with 'twist the pump off' for about an hour bemoaning age (59) and arthritic hands (wish this on your enemies- my thumb base joints are excruciating) I was ready to call the engineer again. I then spotted it was easy to remove pump and filter together in one piece. Lo and behold they were screwed together! Aagh!. I then spotted the problem - a corroding hair grip had wedged behind the impeller blades (half it's normal thickness- it had been waiting to cause a problem for some time). Job done- reassemble etc. All works fine again. A final point - If I had looked really closely (torch) during the initial filter check I'm sure I would have seen the problem and removed it (thin pliers) without any other work at all...dooooh! Morals-You can do these jobs- a bit heavy and awkward at times- constructions vary so Utube may not be the right way- it takes a while sometimes- look very closely etc to save time- don't forget to unplug!

@eSpares 8 лет назад

+Stephen Palmer Hi Stephen, thanks for your comments. It is not unusual for coins and grips to jam the filter preventing it being removed. Some people try and force this and end up braking the filter using grips. We are glad you resolved the problem and just remind any one who loads the machine that a stray hair grip or coin can do a lot of damage so it is important to ensure you check pockets when starting a wash. NB: You may be able to 'edit' your post and amend the crossed out line. All we can do is remove a post or accept it. :-)

@emberhxc 9 лет назад

Hi E Spares, is it really necessary to remove the top cover and tilt the machine on its side to replace the pump? My washer has a dryer installed on top of it, wich makes it difficult to move the machine. I can however reach the back panel easily.

@eSpares 9 лет назад

emberhxc There are often a number of ways to carry out a repair and if you can reach from the back and replace your pump by all means use that method. Just don't forget to disconnect the power and drain the water from the pump first.

@emberhxc 9 лет назад

Thank you, fortunately it was not necessary. The filter was clogged but i was able to get it out, and now a machine that hasn't worked for almost two years is washing perfectly again! thanks for the reply and the videos as well!

emberhxc Glad to hear your machine is back in action, to prevent damage and blocking the filter always ensure you check the pockets of all clothes before filling the machine. If your machine has any smells, mould or you live in a hard water area try our washing machine cleaner as shown on our video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ifWK9df1qgg.html

....final spin. If I switch it to drain or spin at that point it drains ok.

@Lindab123 12 лет назад

how on earth do you get to the pump? in the video it looks like more than the top and back panel have been removed because the pump is sited near the edge of the removed panel. when I removed the back panel the pump is right at the back! sorry, am total novice!

@robthesamplist 10 лет назад

my washer is clicking when turned on like 2 relay clicks then goes into e13 error and wont start any programs with beeping pls help its a bosch wkd28350gb

@philippatterson1573 Месяц назад

I wonderful why I need to remove the top? The pump is at the base of the machine and the bottom panel is riveted on so cannot be readily removed…

My Bosch Maxx Classic WAE18060AU flashes on the wash / pause light. After trying to start the machine it won't start and the door do not lock and water do not comes into the washing machine. Can you please let me know which part needs to be changed? Regards.

@eSpares 8 лет назад

+IronmanTeachMaths Check the motor brushes are not worn out and if these are OK check the door lock.

@IronmanTeachMaths 8 лет назад

+eSpares I checked the motor brush and it has about 20mm length. Is it alright? I need to check the door lock.

@eSpares 8 лет назад

+IronmanTeachMaths The brushes sound OK so looks like a door lock problem.

Have followed your video,, however the pump will not turn to disconnect it.. So my question is do you have any idea why my pump will not turn to screw off??? thank you

@eSpares 8 лет назад

+Sheena Randell The likely reason for the pump blockage and stuck 'filter' is likely to be hair grips coins or other debris that has entered the pump from the tub hose and is preventing you removing it. You may be able to carefully lower onto its side and remove the tub hose from the pump to remove this debris, then the filter should come out.

@sheena105fm 8 лет назад

+eSpares ,, Thank you for your reply,, At last I have removed the pump, it was screwed to the filter... Anyway there is no blockage at all.. I do know that the pump is running as I can hear it running, I left filter cap off and put the machine onto a drain program, I saw that the pump propeller did in fact spin.. I am at a loss??? Do I need a new pump or not?? Or is now a job for a repair man? Many thanks regards Sheena

Sure be nice if i could see a video on model # WFMC4301UC Bosch Nexxt washer, my drain pump is not working and i need to replace it, not sure why I would have to remove the top panel when the pump is on the bottom of the unit, do you happen to know of any links that would help me?

@eSpares 8 лет назад

Thanks for the comment. Usually the process on Bosch machines is fairly similar.Unfortunately we do not have individual model videos as of yet.

@pamelaswords989 8 лет назад

Excellent, - we tried this, but you need to show how you actually tipped the washer and accessed the pump that is located in the lower front of the machine - the pump is VERY hard to reach, did you also remove the side?

@eSpares 8 лет назад

+PJ Swords The back panel can be removed but not the sides. The best way to access the pump is usually from underneath when you lay onto its side.

"Remove pump by twisting anti clockwise".....only problem with my Bosch Maxx WFL2260/UK12 model was that it was held by a tiny hidden screw underneath to the filter. Pulling it out broke the plastic that held it or sealed it to the fluff trap. Now with the new pump in place it's peeing out water because of the broken plastic. What part do I order now that holds the pump? The filter's OK.

@onestepbeyond5221 7 лет назад

how can you decide if its the pump or the impeller faulty?. It spines/starts if I flick it with a screwdriver.

@eSpares 7 лет назад

Hi Steve, some pumps stick as they get old and do not start unless given a slight push. Sounds like a new pump should resolve the problem.

@onestepbeyond5221 7 лет назад

@richiehatch 8 лет назад

Hows things... I have a Bosch Exxcel 8 just over 2 years now. So far we have had an engineer out 2 times. Once for an Error E18 which he replaced the pump and another time for something else. We regularly get an Error 18 but can't find any blockages and the filter is very clean. Checked the exit hose too and all is clear. Its getting very annoying especially considering our last machine worked flawlessly for 15 years..! Any ideas...?

@eSpares 8 лет назад

+Richie Hatch If your machine is fitted to the pipework under a sink then the flow may be reduced when emptying so may 'time out'. See another video for more information: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frEJhX9Sppw.html

@richiehatch 8 лет назад

Thanks a million for the reply. I forgot completely I posted here. I got it sorted in the end. There was a small and I mean very small hairball bit of fluff in the pump/filter area that once removed the issue disappeared...!!! Amazed that such a small thing could cause these problems. Thanks again

@steolvsshelly 7 лет назад

Can you add a pic of the pump wiring. I pushed machine back tilted and removed the pump. When i removed the connector for the pump it pulled back off the male connector. THE WIRING WAS WRAPPED NOT SOLDERED SO NOW I AM NOT SURE WHICH WAY IS CORRECT... I CAN GET THE PUMP RUNNING I PROB NEED A RESET

@eSpares 7 лет назад

Sorry we do not currently have access to any Bosch machines. The pump should only have two wires connected, these can be reversed without a problem as it is an AC motor so will still empty.

@steolvsshelly 7 лет назад

eSpares i must need to reset it then a classixx 1200

@eSpares 7 лет назад

Classixx 1200 is the range not the full model number which is likely to start with WA and end with GB/XX. What is the problem?.

@hdebueger1252 7 лет назад

Just an add in, the pump in my Bosch Maxx WFO 2450 is fixed with à screw. This prevents the pump to unscrew itself. The screw was in the inside, hard to see but not very difficult to remove. For my model you don't need to remove the top.

@eSpares 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comment, glad you sorted your problem.

Lisa Day Hi Lisa, we have a video showing this type of repair on a different machine. This should explain how to do it on yours: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q7sdgmuxfjE.html

@lisaday4540 9 лет назад

Iv done this n now its seems to be leaking from other side near drum n drum is wobbly

@eSpares 9 лет назад

Lisa Day Watch another video to check if the problem is from the dispenser: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VS48G_cwCXoI.htmlf it still is leaking disconnect the supply and remove the back then pour a kettle of water or two into the drum and see where it is dripping from. If the machine shakes or wobbles on spin see this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uKBy-9NEF5A.html

@wendyrichards4200 3 месяца назад

You did thanks, though I replaced the pump but it still showed thx same fault code, so I did the much fiddlier thing of disconnecting and removing the waste water hose, removing muck from it, then reconnecting it...and then it worked again, thank God!

+eSpares sorted many thanks was 5p coin , kind regards Richard ps softner will not go in drum , sits in drawer .

+1superocky1 Check the drain filter for coins and other items as this is the most likely cause. For more information see another video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frEJhX9Sppw.html

@robthesamplist 10 лет назад

pump wasnt blocked and i checked it with a multimeter that it wasn't burnt out, my mum didnt like the horrible smell form the 5 year old machine so she got a brand new one exactly the same model at £900 :0 i told her i could of fixed it but she went ahead anyway :/ i took the old motor out the old one and the pump motor, drive belt and fly wheel for spare parts and put them in the loft although i doubt ill ever use them. thanks anyway.

@khewitt782 9 лет назад

Why remove the top and back if you tip the washer on its side and work through the bottom? The video wasn't clear on this. Otherwise its a big help to see how simple it is. Thanks

@eSpares 9 лет назад

Hi K Hewitt, thanks for your comments. This repair can be done in a couple of ways and by carrying out in this manner it is possible to do without disconnecting the plumbing and without lowering for those who may not be physically strong enough to do without potential injury. We have a number of other 'pump replacement videos' that show the easier 'lower and through the base' method.

@ColinWatters 9 лет назад

Seems that some Bosh machine pumps have three mounting lugs and some four. My machine has four and to remove it the motor assembly has to be turned clockwise rather than anticlockwise. There are also two little plastic stops that have to be lifted before it will rotate far enough to pull off.

@eSpares 9 лет назад

Hi CollinWatters, thanks for your comments as this may help others if unsure. There may be several different types of pump depending on the model but we hope the video gives our customers the confidence to examine and tackle the repair. :-)

Had Rory been repairing a 3200UC, he would not have been able to remove the bottom panel, as he did in this video. Furthermore, the discharge hose on the 3200UC does not have a clamp, but snaps into the pump assembly. The pump in the 3200UC, is an integral part of the filter assembly, and as such, cannot be twisted out. The discharge hose on the 3200UC has no clamp, but instead is snapped into the pump assembly. So basically, if you own a 3200UC, and follow this video, you too will be HOSED.
