Bosch Wff 1201 Slow To Fill Up

[tadaska]

Hi,

Been looking online for answers why my Bosch WFF 1201 fills up slowly. At start briefly it fills with good pressure to one powder container and stops. Then it starts to fill to the other powder container with good pressure at first but after a few moments pressure drops and it carries on filling with low pressure. It takes long and doesn't wash down all of the powder. The cold/hot inlet valve filters are clean. The initial good pressure seems to indicate that it is capable of filling with good pressure but for some reason it doesn't. Any ideas? This machine came with my newly purchased flat so I don't know any of it's history. But I want to use it for a while and spend money on more important things first.

Cheers

An unusual fault. Have you taken the hoses off and run them into a bucket for at least 30 seconds to check the water supply pressure? If there was a problem with one of the supplies it might be possible for water to fill up the pipework and be sent into the machine but then struggle to get enough water to replace continue filling.

if the water pressure is fine, then it must be the inlet valve which is not expensive to replace.

Thx for the replies guys, I've been too busy to actually look into it. Will come back to it when I have more free time. For now it will just have to do as it is.
