Hello,

I have tried to find information on this model bosch but it appears that I might be the only person in the english speaking world who owns one... :rolleyes:

I was told that the "pump" was broken. More than that, I had no data. It appears to run for about an hour and twenty minutes, but I never hear the drain pump start up (and, of course, it never drains). It just sucks in water, runs for a while, pauses for a minute or so, and then seems to run again.

So I have a couple of questions:

Is there a recommended way to diagnose this issue?
Is there a place to get a service manual for this machine? (I think I may have found one for $10... should I buy it?)
Is it trying to drain during those silent pauses every so often?
Does anyone have any guesses as to where the problem may lie?
Does anyone know about when this model was being manufactured?
Does anyone anywhere actually own one of these (or do they never break down...)

Thanks for any and all help!
Ben

Update 6/20/2011:

I finally decided to just sell the thing. I don't have the time to fix it. Anything special I should tell the buyers about this model? Anything I should let them know about the possible repairs?

Servicer,

Thanks for the quick reply. I will check the resistance and voltages like you suggested and report back here.
