Bosch WFF 1201 GB /01 replaced heater, now won't spin

[Dr Rock]

Hi all,

Bosch WFF1201 GB/01 washing machine kept on tripping the RCD, so I replaced the heater element, which had a hole in it...

Now the machine will start a wash cycle, but it won't spin and keeps on heating the water to very hot.

It sounds fine when it is turning the drum.

Any suggestions as to what to look at next?

have you checked the NTC located in the heater itself.
or the pump to check it pumps out as they wont spin if full of water.

NTC? Hmm, they have those on Saabs: Normal Temperature Something or other

So how do I test it, and the pump?

Many thanks for your reply!

the pump is easy as just check water empties on drain,as for the ntc it is abit difficult but you could put it on a 40 wash a check that it completes the cycle as long as it pumps out catch the water and temp test it.
