AI-generated from this discussion

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Bosch WFL 2450 will not fill on 90°C wash

The problem
A Bosch WFL 2450 washes normally on cool programmes, but on a 90 degree wash nothing happens apart from the hot inlet valve humming.
Likely cause
The accepted reply indicates a hot water supply issue rather than a confirmed internal fault: the hot tap may be turned off, the hot fill hose may be kinked, or there may be no hot water flowing through the hot tap/hose.
What fixed it
Check the hot water supply to the machine, specifically that the hot tap is on, the hot fill hose is not kinked, and hot water is actually flowing through the hot tap and hose. No confirmed component replacement or completed repair was documented.
Checks to try
  • Observed that cool washes work normally
  • Observed that on a 90 degree wash the hot valve hums and the machine does not fill
  • Check whether the hot water tap is turned on
  • Check whether the hot fill hose is kinked
  • Check whether hot water runs through the hot tap and hose

Older hot and cold fill washing machines had a separate hot water valve which was usually used exclusively on the boil wash. Sounds like the hot water tap is turned off, the hot fill hose is kinked or there's no hot water running through the hot tap and hose any more. Use this guide ignoring references to cold water and just check the hot supply - when washing machine won’t fill with water
