A customer in Alliance called about their Bosch washer that won’t drain. We diagnosed the issue but couldn’t complete the repair due to parts availability — the flow meter was bad and on national backorder.
The Problem
The customer reported their Bosch washer won’t drain. Water was remaining in the tub after wash cycles completed.
Diagnosis
We found the flow meter on the washing machine was bad. This component monitors water flow and signals the control board when proper drainage has occurred.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — required part unavailable
- Work performed: Diagnostic service completed
- Result: Machine not repaired due to flow meter on national backorder
Is It Worth Repairing?
Bosch washers are well-built European appliances known for reliability and longevity. The WFMC6400UC is a quality front-load model that typically provides many years of service when properly maintained. A flow meter replacement is a reasonable repair for this machine.
Maintenance Tips for Bosch Washers
- Run the Clean cycle monthly with Bosch washing machine cleaner to prevent buildup
- Leave the door and detergent drawer open after use to allow air circulation and prevent mold
- Check and clean the drain pump filter every 3-4 months to prevent clogs
