This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Bosch WFF 2000 sticks on main wash
- The problem
- Bosch WFF 2000 washing machine was reported to stop on the main wash stage. The user could manually help it past the sticking point, after which the programme continued normally.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion is failure to heat the water, causing the programme not to advance when it should reach wash temperature. The accepted reply also notes there are other possible explanations, so this was not confirmed as the definite fault.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to investigate a likely no-heat condition, as the cycle may be waiting for the correct wash temperature before progressing. The exact repair was not confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Observed that the machine sticks on main wash but will continue if helped past that point
- Consider whether the machine is heating the water during the wash cycle
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It's relatively unusual for a washing machine to get stuck on a wash these days. This is because they all have built-in error code trapping and if something goes wrong they now tend to abort the wash cycle and indicate some error code either directly or by flashing certain lights.
There are some anomalies which can allow a washing machine to just stick indefinitely which are mentioned in my article here - washing machine not heating - this article is the most likely to help you not heating is one of the main possibilities. When on the wash cycle a washing machine should be heating up the water and when it reaches the correct temperature it should move on. If it is not moving on it is likely to be because it isn't reaching the correct temperature. And the most likely explanation is that it isn't heating water at all because if the heater was working and it was not moving on than the washing machine should just get hotter and hotter until it boiled.
There are other possible explanations so don't get hung up on the idea that it is definitely a heating problem but it is definitely worth reading the above article carefully.
