Bosch 1200 Classixx 6 continuously filling

[Frankiee]

Hello, firstly thanks if you've stopped by to offer any advice:

The issue I'm having is the drawer is continuously filling with water as soon the dial is turned to any position. I've replaced the inlet solenoid valve but the issue persists.

From what I researched it was definitely the inlet valve is constantly filling but replacing it has done nothing...

Is there any other issues that could be causing constant drawer filling?

Blocked nozzles in the dispenser drawer?

If the softener nozzle is blocked would that cause the main nozzle to continuously flow?

Bosch Washing machine is overfilling​

A fault with the water inlet valve


The water inlet valve allows water to enter the washing machine drum, and if there is a problem with the washing machine overfilling, this can be caused by a faulty water inlet valve. This is not a fault that you can repair yourself and will require a repair by a trained and qualified plumber.


A fault with the pressure switch


The pressure switch, or water level switch, is responsible for sending signals to the water inlet valve to control the flow of hot and cold water into the washing machine according to the temperature setting for a particular programme. If there is a fault with this switch, this can cause the washing machine to overfill. This is not a fault that you can repair yourself and will require a repair by a trained and qualified Bosch engineer.


A fault with the pressure chamber


The pressure chamber fills up with air by the rising level of water in the drum. This air is then pushed up the pressure hose and activates the pressure switch to commence the wash cycle. If there is a problem with the pressure chamber, such as a blockage, this will interfere with this process and could cause the washing machine to overfill. This is not a fault that you can repair yourself and will require a repair by a trained and qualified Bosch engineer.

This advice is from the Bosch website so they will say that a qualified engineer is required. But to be honest if it is any of those faults then you will need an engineer. I would think it's the pressure switch or the pressure chamber not filling. That could be caused by a blocked nozzle but you would have to find the nozzle that fills the pressure chamber.

thanks for pointing me in the direction of pressure chamber and switch. Not being one for warnings I disconnected the switch and blew down the pipe to dislodge and build up and check for flow. There didn't seem to be any blockage so I assume it's the switch.

Are you saying the inlet valve is energised and taking in water before you hit the start button.

Yeah as soon as the dial is turned from off to any position the valve is energised.

If the valve was faulty it would continuously fill until the water supply was shut off.
