Before changing the shock absorbers, carefully inspect the drum of the machine, shining a flashlight inward, perhaps a foreign object is stuck in it, which can be pulled out without disassembling the body of the machine and the tank. Perhaps this particular object rattles during the rotation of the drum.
As for the shock absorbers, they, like in many other washing machines, change according to the same algorithm. There is a detailed article on this topic on how to change springs, shock absorbers and dampers. If the noise is caused by a loose counterweight on the mount, then tighten these mounts. The counterweights are located under the upper housing cover and below.
If you cannot fix the counterweight, then you need to replace it with a similar one. This failure is quite rare.
German electric motors for washing machines are an example of quality that rarely breaks down, nevertheless, it happens.
There are two ways to solve the problem. The first involves dismantling the engine and handing it over to specialists for bulkhead and repair. There is a chance that they will be able to fix this expensive unit. If repair is not possible, then you will have to make a replacement, and in some cases this is almost 1/3 of the cost of a washing machine.
Getting to the engine is easy. You just need to dismantle the rear wall of the machine, then look under the tank, there is an engine with a drive mechanism. To remove it, you need to disconnect the supply wires and the sensor from it, and also unscrew the three fasteners that hold the engine. Before removing the engine, experts recommend checking the sensor capacitor for operability. To do this, arm yourself with a multimeter and connect its probes to the contacts. The value on the instrument panel should be from 20 to 50 ohms.
If you suspect a malfunction of the washing machine control unit, the only thing you can do is either call a specialist who will come and solve the problem, or dismantle the control unit and hand it over to a service center. Experts strongly advise against getting into the electronics of German technology: changing programs, reflashing, connecting to a computer and testing. To do this, you need to know many nuances - entrust this work to professionals.
What happened, why Bosch washing machines that have proven themselves on the market began to break down more often, because this is one of the most reliable companies? And all because some of the enterprises from Germany were transferred to Turkey and Russia, where they began to use cheaper parts.
For example, the metal tank was replaced with a plastic one, and some of the parts were purchased in China. Cheaper products and led to a decrease in quality.
The German quality standard remains only in those washing machines that are assembled in Germany.
Therefore, when purchasing such a machine, you need to pay attention to where it was going. And if a breakdown occurs, then specialists will be able to repair the Bosch machine without any problems. Although partially, it is still Bosch.
So, do-it-yourself repair of a Bosch automatic machine can be overwhelming, in some cases you cannot do without the help of a specialist. However, serious breakdowns in this technique are quite rare; after all, Bosch washing machines are of high quality. And in each individual case of malfunction, you need to approach the repair creatively.

Washing machines from Bosch, 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 the sales leaders for many years, despite the fact that many manufacturers tried to launch more versatile units on the market.
But the engineers of the company "Bosch" continue to develop models of this popular direction, and very successfully. An excellent solution during 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 with the fact that the functionality of the machines is a little weak. This is especially true if someone has used machines of a newer generation.
- the washing tub can only hold up to 5 kg of laundry;
- 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 the automatic shutdown works clearly if an emergency condition has occurred.
Merciless time
What ideal quality the washing machine would not have, but its constant use leads to the fact that parts begin to wear out gradually, the systems function worse and worse. But you won't have to part with your favorite household appliances.

In order to gain experience with the wff 1200 and 1201 series washing machines, the masters underwent special training, first theoretical, and then they were able to put their knowledge into practice, and acquired skills in machine repair, and this is the most important factor when a professional is really needed.
To carry out repair of boschwff 1201 washing machines, special training is required, since this series belongs to the latest editions that have an electromechanical control module available. The company has not returned to them since 2002.
Specific model breakdowns
To the special specifics that are required when conducting repair of bosch washing machines wff 1200 or 1201, applies to work on the electric motor. Replacing the engine brushes does not require such a lengthy procedure as disassembling a complete unit to remove the engine from the tank.
The knob for selecting the wash program often breaks if turned counterclockwise. It must be admitted that this design is the weak point of this excellent technique.But the control unit differs in this model in reliability and fails quite rarely.
The technicians are often called due to any breakdown of the drain pump or, if required repair of bosch wff 1201 washing machines, due to heating element failure.
Common troubles of washing machines
The repair work required for this household appliance is, in most cases, the same as for other washing machines. The problematic ones include:
- the machine did not turn on at all or the drum does not rotate;
- there is no filling of the tank with water or the drain has not occurred;
- water at a given mode remains cold;
- no spin with the set program;
But not worth producing repair washing machines wff 1200 by their hands, because not possessing the proper skills and not knowing its specific features, the likelihood increases that it will be much more difficult for a summoned master to repair a car.

It is advisable to explain, if possible at the time of ordering, what happened to the household appliances. There are certain officially accepted error codes to washing cars wff 1200. They were compiled so that it was possible for the unit to carry out self-diagnostics, and for the master to determine which unit was out of order. The system issues an error code, and the master deciphers it and proceeds to repair, having previously prepared those parts that will need to be delivered instead of 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, and this may mean that the filter in the hose is hopelessly clogged.
If the client notifies the company dispatcher that an error has occurred under the number "3", it means that the water is not drained, and repair washing machines bosch wff 1200 on the home will require you to check if the pipes or hoses for draining the water are heavily clogged, how the pump works and the electronics that controls the drain system are in order.

Hello everybody! The machine was 10 years old and worked perfectly, then a master came, replaced the pump in 2008 for 3,500 rubles (I was in the hospital for an operation) and it worked successfully for a year. Then it began to glitch, I opened the machine twice, the second time I turned off all the electrics, cleaned the boards and after that it worked normally for 5-6 months. Now, in my opinion, a lot of faults have arisen, or one, but which, as it were, shows that there are many of them. 1 After loading the laundry and turning on the CM on red 1,2, 3, it skips these numbers and starts collecting water through the right tray, bypassing the powder in the left tray. 2 After pouring water, she “Thinks” for 30-40 seconds while the drum rotates clockwise for 1-2 seconds and counterclockwise for 3-5 seconds So she “thinks” for 3-4 minutes, after which the washing process begins without powder and continues to end. Drain water, spin, one rinse and end. Sometimes after rinsing the water drains, sometimes not. Pozh. tell me the reason. THANKS!
val912 , I corrected the topic, but who, besides the master, will be able to understand your typewriter?
Thank you, but maybe someone had a similar defect, they will tell you.
val912 , can anyone have a profile, fill out
Was it dirty? mouse cockroaches? then not everything was cleaned maybe.
The boards were clean, but the pins on some of the wires were oxidized. The oxide was under the tips and was not visible.After removing the tips with an ordinary rubber band (eraser), I cleaned the contacts on the board and everything went well.
val912 So does it work or not ?? if not, what and how I checked. give information, or call the masters.
Good day! It seems to work, but in fact it is buggy. But in order: on Saturday I opened the typewriter, did an external examination, everything is OK. Below, to the right of the heating element, there is a plastic tank, from which a rubber tube goes up and it seems to be cloudy. I poured some water by hand and blew it back and forth. The water in the tank became cloudy. I poured the water through the pipe coming from the pump, there was a lot of husk in the drained water (scale or slag, I don’t know what to call it) I touched all the contacts and started the machine without clothes on red text for washing. ——She “washed” the laundry twice without any problems ._______ However, on Sunday, when I started it on a real wash, she started to wash it well (she took a little water into the right tray, drained the water, scored it through the left tray, all the powder went into the machine and the washing began , everything went well, but the water did not drain and the laundry did not wring out, and it turned off with water on the red text. I had to put on rinsing on blue numbers and the wash ended correctly. During the second wash, the sequence of work was disrupted. After washing with powder, the water did not drain completely And the laundry did not wring out, added water and began to rinse, but finished washing correctly, the water was drained and the laundry was wrung out (but not rinsed).
val912 Then check the voltage on the pump at the moment when the drain should be performed, and then draw conclusions.
Is that all? And what did you check? Pure observations are probably for astronomers and forecasters.
It's my fault, I probably didn't realize it right away, the reason is that when the command device comes to the right place in the algorithm I don’t know how to write it correctly, in short, when it should be allowed to drain or spin, the command device skips these places very quickly and transfers the machine to the next operation. So that the pump is fed and then disappears because the drum of the command apparatus has slipped through this place. Here another trick is that it worked two times without linen, but it was lousy twice with linen. I thought there was a problem with the heating element, measured it alive and did not call the body.
val912 , all your opuses are fairy tales about a white bull, here on the forum fortunetellers and psychics are not found, call the master from the ASC and do not fool yourself or others, you will not repair your car using a scientific poke
Many thanks to SHAITAN for the informative advice. If we do not know ourselves and do not admit our ignorance, then we give the most “correct” advice - to call the master.
val912 , sound advice sounded from shaitan .
Well, where does the heating element have to do with it? So we will guess for a long time. Need to poke a finger?
I suppose: without powder is normal, with powder lousy?
Yes, absolutely right. It's lousy with the powder. Trying to run today on blue text on wash. In general, dear professionals, in my opinion there is a kind of floating defect (it manifests itself every time in a different way), and maybe I am mistaken. Of course, it is easier to repair when the engine does not rotate, not from the first not from the tenth attempt, but every time everything is different for me. I am not asking to be shown exactly where the malfunction is, but you can hint at it. I will repeat myself to make it easier to understand: the controller skips the necessary cycles at a high speed, and therefore the operation algorithm is violated.
val912 , can still refer to the advice in the instructions?
I apologize, but I wrote about this at the beginning ”” ”” However, on Sunday, when I started doing a real wash, I started to wash well (I took a little water into the right tray, drained the water, typed it through the left tray, the powder all went into the machine and the washing began, everything went well, but it didn’t drain the water and didn’t wring out the laundry, and it turned off with water on red text. the laundry was not wrung out, added water and began to rinse, but finished washing correctly, the water was drained and the laundry was wrung out (but not rinsed).I had to put on the blue numbers for rinsing and everything ended up right there. ”” ”” ” I get a positive result. I don't understand how the powder negatively affects the algorithm of work and what does the instruction have to do with it.
Take it to the workshop and watch it for a long time and tediously. I do not envy that master
val912 I went to a meeting with you leaving a topic for discussion by other masters, although from the very beginning she asked for a basket. Therefore, you will have to be tolerant of any statements and grateful for any advice.
Hello everybody! Melior thank you very much! In many ways, you know for what, Thank you again, but if only advice from you on the repair of my dastardly unit would have been absolutely excellent. Here they hint, maybe poke my nose, so I would not mind, well, I’m not very good at this, sorry. I wrote all this because yesterday I put the machine on the wash with blue numbers (this is 5,6,7 ,,), so imagine that you washed everything with powder and rinsed and wrung out. After releasing, I turned the drum back and forth and turned off. There were no complaints. BUT ON RED NUMBERS GLUCKS. HELP!
Hello! Professionals and amateurs, please tell me if glitches in the SMA could arise due to temperature switching during washing. Now, analyzing my adventures, I remembered that after the end of the wash, I turned off the heating several times while rinsing. On Sunday, I put on the red numbers, on the main wash mode, did not switch anything and the machine finished washing without incident. The instructions for the machine do not clearly indicate the prohibition of such a procedure as turning off the heating when the power is on. Thanks!
Good day! The commander dropped out, on the first biscuit near the motor there were burnt contacts, all the biscuits were cleaned, assembled, soldered, put the board in place, connected everything, started the machine, almost the same story, only when switching from WASCHEN to SPULEN, the KA began to slip even faster - a set of water (a fraction of a second for the first time and about 0.5 seconds for the second time) I have not figured out the operation algorithm yet, but it looks like the machine wanted to rinse the laundry 2 times. Today I will go to Mitino to buy a pump, put it on, and report the results.
Good afternoon everyone! Alas, attempts to reanimate the car with a new pump did not bring success. Everything is the same, but there is some benefit. When the machine skipped rinsing and spinning and at the end squeezed out the laundry with powder, I decided to rinse the laundry with blue numbers and put SPULEN there, but the device took in water and then the drum somehow lazily spun in one direction and the other with an interval of 2-3 minutes , drained the water, squeezed out the linen. I didn’t like rinsing and I don’t remember in which mode I took water, but with WATER I PUT ON WASCHEN on red numbers, closer to the line where SPULEN, so imagine, I ran the laundry as if washing for about 5 minutes, then reached the line, drained the water, wrung out laundry, took water, rinsed, drained, wrung out, and turned off. That is, everything is fine if you turn it off and put it back on the wash closer to spinning. But I didn't check it again. I'll check and write everything down. After removal, the pump checked for lateral play in the bearings. It was, but much less than two new pumps offered in Mitino at the entrance for 1200 rubles. And in the room I bought it exactly the same as at the entrance, without visible external defects for 650 rubles. By the way, a similar malfunction was with a master with a Bosch 2200 car (I read it on the forums) I sent him a letter in a personal message. Thanks to everyone who can help with advice.
in the trash, such topics should be read
For fun, powder can interfere with the turbidity sensor.
Melior , this topic looks like this: I stroked her and spoke affectionate words, but she does not want to be a bitch
val912 , since this S / M does not have any indication, the error can only be shown in one way - to interrupt the program flow and turn the commander to the OFF position. Since you described S / M most often behaves in case of problems with the pressure switch levels, other reasons are also possible. This machine is equipped with a service test that facilitates troubleshooting. And since you are not a master, there is no special point in prompting (it will not be prompts, but driving by the hand.) And do not take offense at other participants, because 70% of these advisers have not seen this car in their eyes. And some, having heard about the test, almost start to fight (like this cannot be.).
angry uncle regiss do not understand jokes
Video (click to play).
Good afternoon everyone! So, the malfunction of the refusal to rinse the laundry clearly jumps (there is no draining and spinning after washing) in the SPULEN mode. The master Zmey 125 had a similar malfunction. On the forum he received 9 answers. Unfortunately, he did not fix the car, because. the owner said that he would be fine anyway. Regiss Thank you very much for your answer, although according to the peripheral connection scheme, I would also say that this machine does not have a test mode, there is no error indicator (screen, piezoelectric element). That is, the machine should emit one peak, two, etc. for various malfunctions. In the factory service manual, where the connection diagram and wiring diagram are not indicative of the test. If no one answers, like the Zmey 125, you will have to come to terms with this malfunction. Thank you.
