How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance immediately to prevent further damage.
- 1. Check drum rotation: Try to spin the drum by hand. If it is very stiff or grinding, the bearings may be seized or a foreign object may be trapped between drum and tub.
- 2. Inspect motor: Remove the rear panel and check the motor for visible damage or burning.
- 3. Remove belt: Take off the drive belt and test the motor shaft and drum separately. If the motor is stiff or rough, it may be shorted and require replacement.
- 4. Professional repair: Due to the risk of further electrical damage, motor and inverter faults should be handled by a Bosch-authorized technician.
