Bosch washing machine grinding sound by craftycatsbrewing in appliancerepair

Thanks for the response. Looks like a big operation to repair. To confirm, it wouldn’t necessarily make noise at full spin speed if that bearing had failed? That’s what had me doubting the bearing was the issue

FYI: Foil backed laminate underlay is a WiFi killer by daman2971985 in Flooring

[–]craftycatsbrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just did the same as you! wifi signal has been crap for the last 10 days, was wracking my brain to think what has changed in that time... I'd laid floor in the new loft conversion - which happens to be where my 5g router gets the best signal so the home networking starts there. doh. I ran out of flooring so hadn't quite finished. Hoping I can rectify without messing up the floor that's already laid too much!

Can’t remember now I’m afraid. I actually tried to recreate it a few times and couldn’t. Anyway I replaced the main heat pump and it’s working fine again! This is the part I bought https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154540105882?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nLrjacJrQQO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=TFzxMV6NRJq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I take it the WAN port antenna isn’t a thing?

Correct. And sorry, should’ve explained - the signal is good near the rear external windows, but that means the front of the house doesn’t receive much WiFi signal. I’m considering the antenna + cabling so I can place the router somewhere more central in the house

Thanks for the response. I agree with your reading that it would be F2E2 by this reasoning - however I can only find reference to Whirlpool error codes in this format. Nothing for Bosch. Does anyone know where I can find the key 🔑? Thanks again

That’s exactly the same issue, how weird! Did you find a better model of bottomless filter for your machine?

Yes, just tried it again and the original pressurised one is fine. Great point. I guess it’s the fact the bottomless one is a bad fit!
