Bosch Logixx 8 drainage/waste hose replacement
Hello, I need to replace the hose on my machine, but it looks like I'm going to have to drill out the rivets that are holding the back of the top on, to be able to access the unit? Is that right? Is the hose a separate piece, or part of a unit, and why have they made it so difficult just to replace the hose?

Bosch Logixx 8 drain hose access query
- The problem
- The owner needed to replace the washing machine drain/waste hose and was unsure whether the top rear section had to be drilled apart because rivets appeared to block access.
- Likely cause
- No fault diagnosis was discussed beyond the need to replace the drain hose. The accepted advice indicates the hose is normally a separate hose connected to the pump and routed through the cabinet, rather than requiring dismantling of riveted top panels.
- What fixed it
- The accepted recommendation was to access the hose from underneath by carefully laying the machine on its front, disconnecting the drain hose from the pump, and pulling the hose out through the cabinet opening. The replies advised that drilling out rivets or removing the top/back should not normally be necessary. The exact repair completion was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Owner observed a metal plate on the bottom preventing visible access to the pump.
- Accepted reply advised the drain hose connects at the pump and is usually pushed through a hole in the casing.
- Further reply stated pump access would normally be from underneath rather than from the back or top.
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Replacing the drain hose should involve laying the machine down carefully on its front and disconnecting the drain hose from the pump. Then pulling the drain hose out of the machine. You shouldn't normally have to be drilling out any rivets for any repair that I'm aware of. Normally the drain hose will just pushed through a hole in the casing. Maybe a photo might help?

There is a metal plate on the bottom of the machine, so I can't get access to the pump unless I remove that, or the back plate
I would expect the metal plate should be removable but who knows what crazy things manufactures are doing to make their appliances less and less repairable. They've already welded their drums together, and some have welded the front panels and back panels. Normally though, even on an old machine with nothing welded and full access to all parts you wouldn't normally have to take the back panel or even lid off to replace a drain hose. Access to the pump would be from underneath.
