Bosch Logixx 8 Fault 43 Help

Hi, any advise appreciated.

Our Bosch washer got through most of the cycle, but stopped short of the spin cycle I think, as clothes inside were very wet still - and very heavy load. Apparently there was a fault code F43 on the display (according to wife), but now there is no display message. The control dial lights up, but only the first machine cycle (to left or right direction) and then this is only the temperature and spin speed indicators and nothing else will work. If the dial is moved to different wash cycles nothing changes.

Any ideas on how to test further or what this could indicate?

Thanks

Dom

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 Logixx 8 showing F43 and not progressing through programmes

The problem
The washer completed most of a cycle but stopped before the spin stage, leaving the clothes very wet and heavy. An F43 fault code was reportedly displayed. Afterwards the display no longer showed the code; the control dial lit only the first programme position and only the temperature and spin speed indicators responded, with other programme selections not changing anything.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states that Bosch Logixx F43 indicates a motor fault. The exact cause within the motor circuit was not identified in the discussion.
What fixed it
The thread only provides the diagnosis that F43 points to a motor fault. No further test procedure or confirmed repair is documented. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • Reported F43 fault code on display
  • Observed cycle stopping before spin with laundry left very wet
  • Checked programme dial behaviour and indicator response after the fault

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

According to my sources a Bosch Logix with error code F43 has " a motor fault". This is a prime example of how useless many error codes can be, especially to the public. It could be several different things but it presumably thinks the motor has a fault, with no indication of how serious.
