Bosch Classixx 6 stopping at rinse cycle (SOLVED)

[Ray1000]

We have a Bosch Classixx 6 Vario Perfect which has taken to stopping usually when it should be starting to rinse.

We find it with all the lights out.

To get it going we have been setting it to rinse & spin on the assumption the washing cycle is complete.

Sometimes it may stop again during the R&S period.

Any help gratefully received

So far I have ...

Turned up the mains water pressure

Unplugged the machine for a minute

Opened and closed the door repeatedly for a few seconds

Cleaned the bottom front right filter

Thanks

Ray

Sounds like you may be having problems with unbalanced loads. Do you find it worse with partial rather than full loads.

Only to this extent …
She washes towels Saturday on 40 degrees
Dark colours on Sunday 30 degrees
Light colours Monday 30 degrees

It seems to have only run all way through lately on Saturday at 40 and when the load is higher

At first I thought it might be set to Rinse Hold but seemingly not

Started machine on 30 degrees this morning.

It went off after a minute or so ... ALL the lights out as usual.

Turned my attention to the power supply.

Run an extension cable from the house to the washhouse and the machine worked perfectly.

Checked the 13amp socket with a tester and found it would go off just moving it around.

Could get the test light to go off by fiddling with the switch.

Checked for loose wires, all OK ... Operated the switch fifty times.

I need to renew the 13amp switched socket - in the meantime we're leaving it turned on at the wall.

Thanks for your help
