    Hi all

    Hopefully someone out there might be able to help me

    Just did a wash there and the machine will not spin the drum,
    the filter in bottom of machine is fine nothing blocking it,

    The motor does try to rev up but then it just stops dead and does no more

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated as money is tight and cannot afford
    a costly call out!!!

    Thanks
    Ger

    Is the pump emptying the water before the spin ??

    If the pump doesnt empty the water fully then it will not spin, the filter maybe clear but there could still be a blockage.

    had another look at filter nothing at all in it,
    and it does not empty the water out

    brushes could be worn down on the motor

    Thanks was thinking along the same lines myself i took them out there is a good 20mm left but they are worn unevenly in the shape of a half moon if that makes any since, would that be a cause??

    i am definitely no expert when it comes to home appliances

    brushes sound ok.Bosch machines are prone to getting 20 cent coins wedged in the pump,usually just where the drain hose clips on to pump.very common.From your description the brushes sound ok.you can try pulling machine out,tilting it back as far as you can.Take filter out and reach into hole.There is a hole just above impellor if you can meanoveour your hand you might be able to feel a coin.Hope that makes sense, I come across this a few times a week!

    I have taken out the filter and moved impellor with my finger it is good and free when i select drain on control panel it will do it but takes a while just thinking is there a solenoid gone dodgy will try and look early in morning or more than likely get an expert

    Thanks everybody

    As previously said, just because the filter is clear it doesnt mean its draining, if it doesnt drain quick enough (partial blockage, coin, sock) it will not spin, follow GMANs explanation of how to clear it.
