Hello
I have looked at the common problems/troubleshooting section on this site, but the below problem appears to be a different one to those covered there.
We have a Bosch washing machine which has worked well for several years. We normally use the same program, 40 degree wash which takes 1 hour 10 minutes.
However, for a number of days, on this program it now:
i) just washes for 1 hour 10 mins (no rinse/spin etc). The timer counts down to 0.01
ii) then continues to wash with the timer on 0.01 for about 30 minutes
iii) the timer then goes to (approx) 45 minutes, and then continues to wash, spin, rinse, spin etc to 0.00, as if on a normal wash.
The washing comes out fine and the machine does not display any error codes etc. The problem is that each wash now takes approx 2.5 hours, not 1 hour 10 mins!!!
Any ideas? I have unplugged etc, and also tried using other programs etc to try and "reset" the machine, but no luck. Some sort of program board problem?
Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully received
thanks
Mark
