This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Bosch Classixx6 VarioPerfect leaves clothes wet and sudsy, wash light flashes
- The problem
- Bosch Classixx6 VarioPerfect, type WIM40, was reported to rinse for a while and then the 'wash' light started flashing. The flashing continued into spin, and the clothes came out wet and still had suds on them. The owner also reported water being sent down the powder drawer during rinse and spin.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply pointed to poor draining as the most likely cause. A further forum reply suggested the machine may be filling and draining at the same time, but this was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Check for a drainage fault, particularly the pump filter and whether the machine is draining correctly. The owner stated the filter had already been cleaned and the drain hose flow looked normal, but no confirmed repair was posted. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Checked hoses for blockages
- Drain pipe removed and observed during draining
- Pump filter checked and cleaned
- Observed flashing 'wash' light during rinse and spin
- Observed water entering via powder drawer during rinse/spin

It sounds like it's not draining the water properly. Have you checked the pump filter? Washing machine won't drain water out

Hi Andy, yea I've checked and cleaned filter out to no avail, it's trying to wash while it's rinsing and spinning?? As the "wash" light comes on and water is being sent down the powder drawer ? While the " rinse " us on and then when it starts to spin it's still trying to wash ?
Does it seem to be filling up with water and yet draining the water at the same time?
