My Bosch Washing Machine is Not Spinning: Troubleshooting Guide

Common Causes for Spin Failure

1. Check for an unbalanced load: If the drum senses uneven weight, it will limit spin speed to prevent vibration.
2. Inspect the drain pump filter: A blockage in the filter prevents water from draining, which stops the machine from entering the spin cycle.
3. Examine the carbon brushes: Over time, the motor's carbon brushes wear down, preventing the motor from turning the drum at high speeds.
4. Check the drive belt: Ensure the belt connecting the motor to the drum has not slipped or snapped.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Pause the cycle and redistribute the laundry evenly inside the drum.
2. Locate the drain filter at the bottom front of the machine, place a tray underneath, and unscrew it to remove debris like coins or lint.
3. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or obstructed, allowing water to flow freely into the wall pipe.
4. Perform a 'Drain/Spin' program reset to clear any temporary electronic glitches.
