Bosch Washing Machine No Power
Hi
I have a Bosch washing machine (WAS68460GB) that won't power on and am wondering if there's a simple way to make it work.
A technician from the gas company had to move the machine to get to the meter yesterday and since then it won't turn on. The dial doesn't do anything and the power button doesn't work.
I've tested the plug socket and it works, and tried the machine in a different plug and finally replaced the fuse on the machine's plug.
Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sean

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Bosch WAS68460GB washing machine completely dead after being moved
- The problem
- A Bosch washing machine, model WAS68460GB, would not power on after it was moved to access a gas meter. The selector dial and power button were both unresponsive. The plug socket was confirmed working, the machine was tried in another socket, and the plug fuse was replaced, with no change.
- Likely cause
- The discussion supports a general electrical supply/control fault within the machine, but no exact failed component was identified. Possible suspects were mentioned only in general terms and not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- No simple user fix was provided. The accepted advice was that the obvious external checks had already been done and that the fault now needed electrical tracing with a continuity meter. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Tested the original plug socket
- Tried the machine in a different plug socket
- Replaced the fuse in the machine's plug
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Plug fuse
- Continuity test meter
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Unfortunately you've checked the main things for a dead washing machine. Without a continuity test meter there's not much else you can do as the fault needs tracing electrically with a meter. There's some rudimentary advice here including naming possible suspects - Washing machine is dead, wont start
