Taking Too Long And Load Comes Out Wet?

Asked over 13 years ago 1,879 views

Hi, have inherited a Bosch Exxcel 1400 Express with the new house. It doesn't look very old and I tried it out when our Hotpoint machine broke down, but when the timer is about to end it always resets to a new time and starts counting down again - average wash takes about 2.5 to 3 hrs! Even then the clothes usually come out wet!

Can the machine be easily/ cheap repaired to keep as a spare, or is it scrap metal???

Cheers,

Ian

They can take a long time, and refuse to spin or only spin slow if they can't balance the load prior to spin. Could be struggling to heat the water or a problem with the main board.
