Bosch wff 1200 DIY repair

Details: bosch wff 1200 do-it-yourself repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Hey BOSCH experts!
Washing machine BOSCH WFF-1200
S/n 7603 50091
On the washing machine (front, full-size) the command device does not rotate. I checked all the peripherals - everything is normal. The commander is hybrid, the stepper mechanical part was checked by plugging the motor into a socket, and the terminals with a multimeter for “ringing” - everything is also normal. There is a suspicion that voltage is not being supplied to the processor, but maybe the processor also does not reach the relay for controlling the motor and motor of the command officer.
The problem is that there are a lot of planars on the board, and it’s impossible to stupidly track where the voltage disappears.
Who knows at what points (legs) and how much voltage should be on the working command?

The data is like this:
K / device AKO 513011 306 3737 AA2 076 (hybrid)
Sticker 3995970 B007778AB5
AKO board 15621 02 S 1
Processor AKO 451279
BSHG_MH1_V1.10
OF80B
HLFQ9603

At the same time: who knows where to get a circuit for such a machine, and even better for a module. Maybe for money.

If you turn the commander by hand, he does everything: fills, drains, heats up. These functions are controlled by the mechanical part of the commander. And the motor (main), and the motor of the command apparatus, are controlled by the processor. These functions, respectively, do not perform.

There are five zener diodes (or diodes), all planar.
three electrolytes. There is some voltage on them, from 2.7V to 9.8V constant.

The question is, where is the voltage supplied to the processor, and what?

[quote=”@lex”]Check the power on the processor itself, the generation of quartz.

There is nothing like quartz there. Please tell me how it looks or is indicated.

Video (click to play).

I'll try the electrolyte today.

Edison, if you were an electronics specialist, then you would not have created this topic here, since there is nothing complicated there and a circuit is not needed. Although in this case success is not guaranteed, since the processor could also die. But since it’s difficult for you and you can’t figure it out without a diagram, then you won’t figure it out with the circuit either, especially since the command switch is simply designated on the diagram as a black box that includes wires. Therefore, there is only one solution for you and forget about other options - order a new commander.

Masters, somebody help. The Bosch WFF 1200 washing machine does not drain. My wife promised to lynch me if I did not deal with the problem on my own. I took apart the washing machine, cleaned everything from scale, but it still does not drain the water. WHAT TO DO.

Scale does not affect the drain, look into the pump filter.

2 Grizel And check the drain hose, if the filter and hose are clean, then check the pump. Has the car been working for 5-6 years already?

IMHO, judging by the alphanumeric model number, she is 10 years old, if not more.

PS. The programmer is probably mechanical. IMHO, it is reasonable to start with him.

what does it mean it doesn’t drain - the pump is spinning? - it seems that the shield is removed from the front and then access to the pump is provided, find the plugged hose - pull out the plug and drain the water into a basin, then unscrew the large plug from the pump and remove the filter.
In short, does the mop spin?

There was a similar problem. The pump kept spinning. It was decided by replacing the appropriately sized pump nozzles from Ariston for about 700-800 rubles. The pump from Bosch was rejected because of the zhlobsky policy of the Fritz (engineer call 2500 rubles + the price of the pump, which they won’t sell you without a call).

I was in s / c Bosch. Everything is for sale. What is not in stock - to order.

before buying - you need to decide if it does not receive power, or the hose or the filter itself is clogged

Maybe the Fritz changed their minds. I had this situation 4 years ago. The native pump worked for about 5 years.

The pump is a tricky mechanism. If you are sure that the drain system (in the car and pipes to the riser) is clean, there are no blockages, then change the pump, it's in it.

I also bought parts there in January. And their prices are cheaper than in stores for the same goods (an impeller for a rec. pump costs 500 rubles, and for ZIP M, PartList from 800 rubles).
What, they stopped selling it now?

2VVP I tried for a long time.
So I'm just asking, how are things now?

It turned out yes.
I repaired this pump, fortunately: they are not sold in our city, you need to go to Ufa.
Initial data: the pump rotates normally without load. Removed and in place without water. But at some point I noticed that it does not rotate. Spin it - it spins. After that, you immediately put it on the drain - it drains, but in the rinse mode it does not drain.
First I cleaned all the hoses.
Then I disassembled the pump. Pulled the rotor towards the impeller. With a screwdriver, probably 15-20 kilograms of force must be applied. Pulled out with bushings. I did not remove the impeller from the axle. The impeller rotates 180 degrees, probably this is done to reliably start the engine under load. THIS IS NOT A FAULT! That's the way it should be. Synchronous motors are difficult to start. So they come up with all sorts of tricks to facilitate launch. I scrolled this 180 gr a dozen times so that the rotation was free. After that, the pump began to work, for 2 weeks already, pah-pah without failures.
Most likely, dirt and scale interfered with turning 180 degrees. impeller.
So: 1. The impeller must rotate freely 180 degrees in the rotor axis.

The rotor, due to the built-in magnet, must have a clearly defined one (maybe 2) stable position. If you hit the impeller with your finger, after stopping it should vibrate near a stable position (at first I didn’t notice any different resistance around the circumference at all, apparently the axis was very clogged)

Bosch washing machines, namely the wff 1200/1201 series, are unique not only because they are produced by a company known for its excellent quality. It was these machines that managed to be sales leaders for many years, despite the fact that many manufacturers tried to launch more versatile units on the market.

But Bosch engineers continue to develop models of this popular trend, and very successfully. An excellent solution for this period was the change in the design of the back cover, the electric motor was improved, thanks to a successful solution, it became more convenient to use the handle to select the washing mode.

But despite the ease of use, fans of the wff 1200 and 1201 series still express dissatisfaction due to the fact that the functionality of the machines is a bit weak. This is especially felt if someone used a newer generation of machines.

– only up to 5 kg of laundry can be placed in the washing tub;

– 13 programs have been invested. Today it is considered that this is a small amount;

- there are no various electronic devices inherent in more modern washing machines that facilitate the washing process;

- there is no self-diagnosis process in emergency cases, but automatic shutdown works clearly if an emergency condition occurs.

Merciless time

What an ideal quality a washing machine would not have, but its constant use leads to the fact that parts begin to wear out gradually, systems function worse and worse. But you don't have to part with your favorite household appliances.

In the event of a breakdown repair bosch washing machines should be entrusted to the specialists of our company. Knowing thoroughly the entire design, schemes, the most common breakdowns, professional craftsmen will be able to return the washing machine back to working condition.

In order to gain experience with washing machines of the wff 1200 and 1201 series, the masters underwent special training, first theoretically, and then in practice they were able to put their knowledge into practice, and gained skills in repairing machines, and this is the most important factor when a professional is really needed.

To carry out repair of washing machines boschwff 1201, special training is required as this series is one of the latest releases available with an electromechanical control module. Since 2002, the company has not returned to them since 2002.

Specific model failures

To the special specificity that is required when conducting bosch washing machine repair wff 1200 or 1201, refers to the performance of work on the electric motor. To replace the motor brushes, you do not need such a long procedure as disassembling the entire assembly to remove the motor from the tank.

The handle designed to select the washing program often breaks if you turn it counterclockwise. It must be admitted that this design is the weak point of this excellent technique. But the control unit is distinguished in this model by reliability and fails quite rarely.

Masters are often called due to any breakdown of the drain pump or, if required repair of washing machines bosch wff 1201, due to heating element failure.

Common washing machine troubles

The repairs that are required for these household appliances are for the most part the same as in other washing machines. Problematic ones include:

- the machine does not turn on at all or the drum does not rotate;

- there is no filling of the tank with water or there was no drain;

- water remains cold at a given mode;

- no spin when the program is installed;

But don't make repair washing machines wff 1200 their hands, because without having the proper skills and not knowing its specific features, the likelihood increases that it will be much more difficult for the called master to repair the car.

Many customers already know that repair washing machines Bosch wff 1200 is the prerogative of a specialized company. Calling the wizard is very simple, you need to contact the dispatcher by phone or use our website.

It is advisable to explain, if possible, during the order, what happened to household appliances. There are certain official error codes to washing machines wff 1200. They were compiled so that it would be possible for the unit to conduct self-diagnosis, and for the master to determine which particular node failed. The system issues an error code, and the master decrypts it and proceeds to repair, having previously prepared those spare parts that will need to be supplied instead of the used ones.

For example, F 01 will tell you that the door does not fit snugly, and therefore the machine will not be able to function.

Error F 02 will tell you that no water is coming in, which may mean that the filter in the hose is hopelessly clogged.

If the client notifies the company dispatcher that an error number "3" has occurred, then the water is not draining, and repair washing machines Bosch wff 1200 on the home you will need to check whether the pipes or hoses for draining the water are heavily clogged, how the pump works and the electronics that control the drain system are in order.

Fully repair washing machines Bosch wff 1200 price depends on the extent of the damage, which parts were replaced. There are prices for each type of work, and the client discusses all questions with the master so that there are no misunderstandings during the calculation.

Contacting our company, customers are convinced that as much as it costs to repair washing machines bosch wff 1201, it is quite acceptable to pay for any family at a price, and in return, the washing machine will again work efficiently and reliably.

The Bosch WFF washing machine is a legendary series of machines, many of which have by now managed to serve their owners for 20 years. Simple and reliable, they still cope with laundry by 5 points. These models can no longer be found in the retail network, but they are still found on the secondary market. Repair masters recommend buying them, as the quality of the machines of the famous Bosch Wff series is the highest.

Appearance of the Bosch WFF 1201 machine
On the Russian market, the series is represented by only a few models. 1200, 1201 and 1401 have survived to this day. Their characteristics are somewhat different even within the same model. Now this is impossible.Bosch almost every year updates the line of washing machines. Units do not stay on the market for a long time. The slightest difference, improvement, refinement, leads to the emergence of a new model, and not a modification, as it was before. As a result, the user often cannot understand how one model differs from another. With Bosch Wff it was different. They appeared at a time when manufacturers wrote in the instructions "model specifications are subject to change without notice."

Models WFF 1200 and 1201 were produced in 1997-2002. They turned out to be the brand's last units with electromechanical control. During all 5 years of production, the developers were engaged in improvement. Changes were made to the design of the motor, control panels, etc. One of the goals was to improve maintainability. And it succeeded. Maintenance of the series machines is inexpensive for users. And even now, after 15-20 years from the date of issue, WFF machines are successfully repaired if necessary.

Program controller model WFF 1200
- Temperature regulation.
- Additional rinse.
- Prewash. The option is designed for work clothes and things (kitchen or children's) with stains.
- Spin speed adjustment.
- Rinse stop. Enabling the option will allow you to wash and rinse the laundry, but not to drain the water. Things after the last rinse will simply lie in the water. Also, the function will be useful for those who have a car in the living room. It will allow you to wash and rinse things at night. And the spin can be done in the morning, when the noise will no longer bother anyone.
- Spin adjustment. By default, the machine spins cotton and other heavy-duty fabrics at 1000 rpm, and wool and delicates at 800 rpm. The user cannot increase the rpm, but can reduce it to 600, which is recommended for thin and stretchable fabrics.

For medium soiled white cotton. Temperature - 90 °. Loading - maximum.
For colored cotton and other fabrics. Permissible temperature - 30-60 °. In this mode, you can also load a full tank.
A quick program for lightly soiled things. True, by modern standards, the cycle is quite long. Therefore, it would be correct to say that the machine does not have a short program. But there is a mode that lasts more than an hour for things that do not require thorough cleaning. Suitable for synthetic fabrics, as the temperature of water heating does not exceed 30-40 °.

For unpretentious, not too dirty laundry. Temperature - 0-60 °.
Economical washing of non-whimsical linen at temperatures up to 40°. In this mode, energy consumption is reduced due to weaker heating of water and a decrease in the duration of the program. You can clean up to 2 kg in this mode.

The hatch door in the WFF 1200 opens 120 degrees

Despite the unanimous positive opinion of users about the machines of the series, they still have disadvantages. Especially when compared with modern assistants.

Having served for two decades, the WFF 1200 continues to please the owners. There are few reviews on the network, since at the time of the appearance of the machines of the series, most users did not have access to the Internet, but they are all with a plus sign. Someone's car continues to serve without a single breakdown. Someone managed to carry out inexpensive maintenance by replacing small parts. There are no complaints about the inability to repair the car.

WFF 1200, like any modern machine, collects water in the rubber cuff of the hatch. It needs to be removed manually.

Repairmen also speak positively about these machines. It is their quality that is usually cited as an example when they say that the old German assembly is much better than today's Russian one. Partly it is. The cars of those years really have a great resource. But their capabilities are still lower than those of modern assistants. They do not have complex electronics, the repair of which is very expensive. They have a lot less plastic parts. Manufacturers put in them a larger resource, since in those days the equipment did not become obsolete so quickly.

Machines of the WFF series are not only less likely to break down. These units are easy to repair. For example, many modern Bosch models have a non-separable drum. As a result, bearing failure costs the user half the cost of the entire machine. Repairing the WFF is relatively simple and not burdensome for the wallet.

Characteristics Bosch WFF 1400

Modern models are produced taking into account rapid obsolescence. It makes no sense to put a huge resource into equipment if after 5-7, maximum 10, years it will no longer meet modern requirements, for example, in terms of energy consumption.

You can't call it very quiet. When spinning, the Bosch WFF washing machine is relatively loud. Not enough to spoil the relationship between the owners of the machine and their neighbors, but still, in this indicator, it is inferior to later Bosch models.

As mentioned above, the Bosch WFF washing machine has a control panel in German. Therefore, despite the many advantages and the low price of these used machines, it’s still not worth buying her grandmother to the country. Even with instructions, an elderly person whose memory leaves much to be desired will constantly get confused in buttons and programs.

Bosch WFF in the interior

The Bosch WFF series machine washes well. This is not surprising, given that the minimum wash cycle lasts more than an hour. And the bulk of user complaints about the quality of washing is caused by the use of accelerated modes with a large load of dirty things. Those. when used inappropriately. However, machines of not any brand cope with washing soiled clothes even with a long wash. Bosch is at its best here.

As you can see, the Bosch WFF washing machine is not inferior to inexpensive modern models in most parameters. And even has an advantage over many. Of course, over 20 years of service, the plastic part of the machines turned yellow, and the cars no longer look smart. But for work they are still relevant.

The washing machine itself is a complex mechanical device with an equally complex electronic control unit. Household appliances from Bosch are known for their reliability and quality, but, like any device, they can also fail. This may be due to both a violation of the rules of operation, and in connection with the natural degradation of parts and elements of the machine.

In order to be able to perform professional repair of washing machines with your own hands, you need not only to understand the principle of operation of the device, but also to have a variety of tools, have knowledge in electronics, and be able to read electrical circuits. But to carry out a simple repair under the power of everyone. The main thing is to accurately determine the faulty node, this is helped by the self-diagnosis function built into the washing machine.

Regardless of the brand of the washing machine, the device of models from various manufacturers, whether it be Atlant or Bosch, practically does not differ. The main nodes include:

frame;
drum;
pump;
Control block;
heating element (TEN);
engine.

After turning on the machine and selecting the program, the pump starts pumping water into the drum through the fill valve. The drum is a container made of stainless material, with many holes over the entire surface. Through these holes, water penetrates into the tank, reaching the desired level. The pressure switch monitors the water level. The drum is connected through a belt drive or directly connected to the engine. According to the selected program, the engine starts its work, causing the drum to rotate. In front, the drum is connected through a rubber cuff to the tank.

At the end of the wash cycle, the water will begin to drain. The main unit of the drain system is the drain pump. A special hose is connected to the pump outlet, through which water is drained from the device. The last step in the operation of the machine is the spin. For its implementation, the engine starts to rotate the drum at high speed. Under the action of centrifugal force, things inside are pressed against the surface of the drum. Water is squeezed out of things and exits through the holes in the drum. The squeezed out water accumulates at the bottom of the tank, from where it is pumped out by a pump. The pump and motor are controlled by the electronics unit.

Water heating in the device occurs with the help of a thermoelectric element. It looks like a bent tube, inside which there is a conductive thread in the middle of the insulator layer.

In addition to the main components, sensors are important elements in washing units. They allow electronics to control the processes that take place during washing. The following sensors are used in the machines:

Pressure switch. It can be performed both mechanically and electronically. Its job is to control the water level.
Thermostat. It is located at the bottom of the tank and is designed to monitor the temperature of the water.
Tachometer. Measures engine speed.
Hatch blocking device. It is an electromechanical device. Informs about the opening of the hatch and blocks it when washing starts.

Leaving the tank empty, close the manhole cover.

Set the program selection switch from the "Off" position to the "Spin" mode. As soon as the LEDs begin to blink, you will need to press and hold the "Spin Speed" button. The LED should turn off and then blink again.

The program switch is set to the "Drain" position, the "Spin speed" button is released.

Using the program selector, the node to be tested is selected. For each series of machines, the position number corresponds to its node.At the end of the test, information will be given whether it passed or not.

But most often, self-diagnosis is rather superficial and may not include checking all the components of the Bosch washing machine. The instruction manual contains only an initial description and is unlikely to help in case of a serious breakdown. Although, along with it, a service manual is also issued with a detailed description of the device and possible solutions for troubleshooting. It is difficult to find it in the public domain, since it is intended for service centers.

If a surface inspection could not identify the problem, and the operability of the system for connecting to the water supply, sewerage and electricity is beyond doubt, then you will have to disassemble the machine to gain access to the faulty components. The main reasons causing malfunctions of the Bosch washing machine can be the following factors:

Assuming the cause of the breakdown and its severity, if necessary, you will have to proceed with disassembling the Bosch washing machine.

Such repairs must be carried out with special knowledge. If you suspect an electronic unit, you can remove the board from the plastic container, after disconnecting all connectors, and carefully examine the soldering points. Often, due to the vibration of the machine, they are destroyed. Also, if washing powders get in or in the event of a leak, plaque may appear on the textolite board. In this case, it is recommended to wash the board with an alcohol solution.

One of the important parts of the control of the machine is the programmer. Its other name is the command apparatus. This detail is responsible for the choice of modes. It can be mechanical or electronic. In the case of the electronic form, a microprocessor is used. The mechanical programmer also tends to fail. When disassembling it, care must be taken, as there are springs inside. The programmer consists of a set of gears and a synchromotor. In principle, the command apparatus is rather complicated, and without experience it should not be disassembled. Particular attention should be paid to the contact group, it often oxidizes, which leads to malfunctions.

Complex mechanical devices cannot last forever, but it is possible to delay their failure. To do this, you must comply with the technical conditions for operation and carry out preventive measures:

After washing is completed, the door must be left open and the rubber seal wiped dry.
Clean the drain filter regularly.
To clean the heating element, periodically run a wash cycle without clothes, but with an anti-scale agent.
The electrical part of the Bosh machine, although it is made reliably, does not like power surges. If the power supply is poor. better to use a stabilizer.
