Bosch logixx7 fault
Hi, we have a Bosch logixx7 that is 9 yrs old and it has started to smoke from the liquid draw and the drum but not every time, we usually wash at 40 degrees but occasionally use the hottest setting for whites and putting a cleaner through, any ideas would be much appreciated

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Bosch Logixx 7 intermittently emitting smoke or steam near end of cycle
- The problem
- A 9-year-old Bosch Logixx 7 washing machine was reported to emit smoke from the detergent drawer and drum intermittently. It appeared to happen at the end of the programme after the final spin. The machine was not reported as unusually noisy.
- Likely cause
- The discussion did not confirm a single fault. The accepted reply suggested three possibilities: steam being mistaken for smoke, friction from something rubbing, or smoke from a heat source. Because the issue occurred at the end of the cycle and was intermittent, the exact cause was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- No repair was documented. The accepted advice was that if the issue is true smoke from a heat source, the machine should be stopped from further use until inspected. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Observed whether the smoke appeared during filling, washing or spinning
- Reported that it seemed to occur at the end of the cycle after the last spin
- Checked for unusual noise; none reported
Safety: If this is genuine smoke rather than steam, stop using the washing machine until it has been properly inspected.

Smoke doesn't sound good. The possibilities spring to mind. Steam mistaken for smoke, smoke caused by something rubbing and causing a lot of friction, or smoke from the heat source. It's important to work out which it is obviously the latter would mean you instantly stop using it until it is looked at. When is the smoke happening? Is it when it is filling up with water, or during the wash cycle or during spin? Is the washing machine noisy?

Many thanks for replying, it seems to be at the end of the cycle, after it has done its last spin, could this be motor burn but it doesn’t always have that sort of smell, it doesn’t do it every time and no, I wouldn’t say it is over noisy
