Mend Bosch Draining Washing Machine

My Bosch WFF 1201 washer has just stopped draining. What can I do?

My Bosch WFF 1201 washing machine has stopped pumping. Right now it is full of water and washing.

The program is running, but when it comes to the part of the cycle when it should pump there is a strange humming noise as if the pump is trying, but the water isn't pumped. Can anyone suggest what to do?

Thanks Darren.

The pump was blocked. Wife's hair clip had been through the wash and was obstructing the pump.

Phew! No expensive repair needed.

hi on the fron of the machine either bottom right or left there shud be a small pull down door behind this should be your filter on some models there is a small black pipe with a bung in the end if you take the bung out you can drain the water out through this when its all out tilt the machine back a bit and undo the filter put a bowl underneath the front because there will most likely be a bit of water still in you can then check the filter and check to see if the pump is blocked, hope this helps
