Do the following.

  1. Switch off the machine and disconnect the mains power.
  2. Remove the access panel on the lower right front of the machine.
3. Remove the filter and make sure that the filter is not blocked and is clean and clear of all debris. Clean as required. Note that depending on the machine type you may get a lot of water coming out of the filter when you remove it if the machine has not drained successfully. Note that if the machine has stopped and not fully drained then you may be able to drain out the excess water by removing or disconnecting the waste hose and laying it on the ground in a tray. It may take a few minutes to empty but it will save a small flood.
4. Proceed by checking the drain hose for proper connection and kinks and make sure that it is not blocked.
5. Also check that the main waste drain pipe, if you use one, is not blocked and clean if required.
6. Reconnect the power and switch the machine on.
If the problem persists then do the following.
7. Switch off the machine and disconnect the mains power.
8. Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure it is operational.
9. Remove the connecting hoses, and expect water to drain out and make sure the pipes are not blocked with debris or any object blockage.
10. Makes sure the pump appears clear and that the impeller looks in good condition.
11. Reconnect the hoses and then reconnect power and switch the machine on.
12. If problem has not been corrected, then remove the pump and check that the drive coupling to the motor is OK and that the motor turns OK. If all is well then replace the pump.

My Bosch classic 1200 express washing machine wont drain or spin

Possibly a blocked filter or pump.
Ths filter should be at the bottom right front of washer, sometimes behind a removeable cover at the bottom of washer.
To clean it, unscrew anti-clockwise, remove and clean.

Bosch Classixx 1200 Express wont spin!!!! HELP

Make sure that all the water has drained from the washer, if it has a filter, remove and clean, it is located behind a removable plastic panel at the front of the m/c, if it still does not spin, suggest you remove motor and check the brushes for wear, this is often the reason it won't spin, but will wash o/k.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks

Bosch Exxcel 1200 Express Washing Machine spin not working

I had the same problem- machiine not spinning and a few days later not turning at all. Display would go from 11min to 1min.
I did 2 things - 1) changed the brushes on the motor- cost £7.50 .
2) whilst working under the machine disconnected pipe from drum to pump and emptied it- found 2 coins in the bellows.

Not spinning

I found my Classixx 1200 express with a flashing spin light, the water wasn't up in the drum, so I moved the selector to rinse, and pressed start, pump was noisy but worked, I could hear water going into the drain, thinking I'd got a blockage in thye pump, I drained machine using small hose and inspected the pump orifice at the front of the machine (towel handy to catch spillage.
No obvious blockage and the pump could be turned by hand, tried rinse again with water feed turned off, (otherwise it pumps for a while and then lets water in to rinse - which comes out the open pump housing!) I could see the pump impeller spinning but also sticking, its was also noisy.
Solution - new pump, according to my local spares shop, the pump is available as either motor & impeller (back half), or complete with black housing that the pipes fit to, to get the front cover off, and to remove the pump, you need a "star" screwdriver or key, and a pair of pliers to undo the hose clips - have a bowl ready to catch the water, and make sure the machine's unplugged before you start!
