The Bosch WFF washing machine is a legendary series of machines, many of which have now managed to serve their owners for 20 years. Simple and reliable, they still cope with washing clothes 5 points. These models can no longer be found in retail stores, but they can still be found on the secondary market. Repair experts recommend buying them, since the quality of the famous Wff cars is the highest.
Is your washing machine acting up? Not sure if repairs are needed?
Call . In most cases, the severity of the problem and the cost of repairs, if necessary, can be determined in a couple of minutes of conversation with a specialist.
If “REPAIR” is described in the instructions for your equipment, the dispatcher-consultant will not make a secret of this. We don’t go out to diagnose faults, we go to repair washing machines! This is another of our secrets.
We charge money for “DIAGNOSTICS” only in those few cases when we can repair your equipment for the amount agreed upon over the phone, but you decided that the repair is not practical. Our technician will definitely advise you about the likelihood of new failures of your washing machine and hidden defects found in it, if any.
If the repair turns out to be more expensive than the amount quoted over the phone, you can refuse the repair without paying for the technician’s visit and diagnostic work.
Before calling, if possible, check the brand and model of your washing machine (they are usually written on the control panel, for example Siemens WM12S47AOE (IQ700) or Bosch WAS24441). All the necessary information can also be found on the marking sticker (nameplate), where the product and serial numbers are also indicated, which are needed when ordering spare parts. If you have already had your washing machine repaired by us or another service center, try to remember what defects were eliminated and what components were repaired or replaced.

Bosch WFF 1200 washing machine: the most popular model in the series
The machine is designed for 5kg. The maximum spin is 1000 rpm, which is more than modern budget models. Boil mode available. The machine, of course, does not boil water, but can process it at a temperature of 90°.
The machine has a filter where coins and torn buttons forgotten in pockets accumulate. All this can be easily pulled out by first draining the water through a special hose.
Available options:
- Temperature adjustment.
- Additional rinse.
- Prewash. The option is designed for work clothes and things (kitchen or children's) with stains.
- Spin speed adjustment.
- Stop rinsing. Enabling the option will allow you to wash and rinse the laundry, but not drain the water. After the last rinse, things will simply remain in the water. The function will also be useful for those who have a car in their living room. It will allow you to wash and rinse things at night. And the spin can be done in the morning, when the noise will no longer disturb anyone.
- Spin adjustment. By default, the machine spins cotton and other stress-resistant fabrics at 1000 rpm, and wool and delicates at 800 rpm. The user cannot increase the speed, but can reduce them to 600, which is recommended for thin and stretch-prone fabrics.
### The model has 13 washing programs:
- For white cotton with medium soil. Temperature - 90°. Loading is maximum.
- For colored cotton and other fabrics. Permissible temperature is 30-60°. In this mode you can also load a full tank.
- Quick program for lightly soiled items. True, by modern standards the cycle is quite long. Therefore, it would be correct to say that the machine does not have a short program. But there is a mode that lasts more than an hour for things that do not require thorough cleaning. Suitable for synthetic fabrics, since the water heating temperature does not exceed 30-40°.
- Let's do it.
- For unpretentious, not too dirty laundry. Temperature - 0-60°.
- Economical washing of non-fragile laundry at temperatures up to 40°. This mode reduces energy consumption due to weaker water heating and shorter program duration. You can clean up to 2 kg in this mode.
- A shortened program for lightly soiled, non-fragile laundry at temperatures up to 30°.
- Spin.
- For delicate laundry.
- For woolen products.
- For delicate woolen items that require special handling. Cleaning is done in cold water. As a result, powder detergent cannot be used. However, it is not advisable to wash woolen items in it in any case.
- A shortened program for cleaning wool items.
- Pumping out water. The mode is designed to remove water from the tank after stopping the wash.
This model does not have a very short program that allows you to wash sports T-shirts or refresh only purchased items. The shortest mode lasts just over an hour.
## User reviews Despite the unanimous positive opinion of users about the machines in the series, they still have drawbacks. Especially when compared with modern assistants. ### Reliability Having served for two decades, the WFF 1200 continues to delight its owners. There are few reviews on the Internet, since at the time the series of slot machines appeared, most users did not have access to the Internet, but all of them are positive. Someone's car continues to serve without a single breakdown. Someone managed to carry out inexpensive maintenance by replacing small parts. There are no complaints about the inability to repair the car.
Repairers also speak positively about these machines. It is their quality that is usually cited as an example when they say that the old German assembly is much better than today's Russian one. This is partly true. Cars of those years really have a great resource. But their capabilities are still lower than those of modern assistants. They do not have complex electronics, the repair of which is very expensive. They have a lot less plastic elements. Manufacturers put more resources into them, since in those days the equipment did not become outdated so quickly. WFF series machines not only break down less often. These same units are easy to repair. For example, many modern Bosch models have a non-separable drum. As a result, bearing failure costs the user half the cost of the entire machine. Repairing WFF is relatively simple and easy on the wallet.
Modern models are produced taking into account rapid obsolescence. There is no point in investing a huge resource in equipment if in 5-7, maximum 10, years it will no longer meet modern requirements, for example, in terms of energy consumption. ### Noisiness It cannot be called very quiet. When spinning, the Bosch WFF washing machine is relatively loud. Not so much as to spoil the relationship between the owners of the machine and their neighbors, but still in this indicator it is inferior to later Bosch models. ### Interface As mentioned above, the Bosch WFF washing machine has a control panel in German. Therefore, despite the many advantages and low price of these used machines, it is still not worth buying it for your grandmother at the dacha. Even with instructions, an elderly person whose memory leaves much to be desired will constantly get confused with buttons and programs.
### Washing quality The Bosch WFF series machine washes well. This is not surprising, given that the minimum wash cycle lasts more than an hour. And the bulk of user complaints about the quality of washing are caused by the use of accelerated modes with a large load of dirty clothes. Those. when used for purposes other than their intended purpose. However, not every brand of machine can cope with washing soiled clothes even after prolonged washing. Bosch is at his best here. As you can see, the Bosch WFF washing machine is not inferior to inexpensive modern models in most respects. And he even has an advantage over many. Of course, after 20 years of service, the plastic part of the machines has turned yellow, and the machines no longer look elegant. But they are still relevant for work.
Will it work through the hose?
In some cases, you can quickly empty the drum of water through the drain hose. It is important that access to the sewer system is free, and there is a place for drainage of waste liquid - a large basin, washbasin or bathtub. The draining process looks like this:
- disconnect the hose from the riser by loosening the fixing clamp;
- unhook the hose from the “back” of the body by removing the plastic latch from the base of the hose;
- lower the corrugation below the washing machine tank, placing the end disconnected from the sewer in the washbasin or prepared container;
- drain the water until the flow dries up.
It is impossible to empty Bosch manufactured after 2015 through the drain hose.
The simple method has a significant “minus” - not all Bosch washing machines can be emptied this way. The fact is that modern machines are protected from the “siphon effect”, spontaneous leakage or intake from the sewer, for which a special loop or check valve is built into the system. With such equipment, it will be impossible to empty the washing machine through the hose.
Through the trash can
If the machine breaks down during the washing process, it is easier to empty the drum using a drainage filter. This is a spiral-shaped plastic attachment, which is located in the lower right corner of the machine behind the technical hatch door. It got the name “trash can” for its function - the water leaving the tank necessarily passes through the spiral, and debris and foreign objects that get into the washer cling to the plastic. This way the system is protected from clogging of the pump and impeller.
It’s easy to drain water through the trash can:
- use a slotted screwdriver to hook the false panel;
- release the latches and remove the door;
- we find the “trash can” plug – a dark “washer”;
- tilt the machine back, lean it against the wall and place a basin to collect water;
- cover the space surrounding the washing machine with oilcloth and rags;
- holding the “handle” of the plug, slowly unscrew it until water flows out of it (there is no need to completely remove the spiral - the pressure will be too strong!);
- drain all the water from the tank.
You cannot unscrew the garbage filter after a high-temperature cycle - there is a risk of getting burned by boiling water.
This method has only two drawbacks. Firstly, it cannot be used if there is hot water in the tank - a stream of boiling water can seriously burn you. Secondly, you will have to put up with a dirty floor, since even a basin and an abundance of rags will not save you from a small soapy flood. But draining through the “garbage bin” is the fastest, easiest and safest - the main thing is to follow all safety precautions.

Risky way through the hatch
If you cannot empty the drum through a hose or garbage filter, you will have to take drastic action - open the door and scoop out the water manually. But first you need to assess how full the tank is and play it safe by tilting the machine back. As a rule, the liquid level in the washing machine exceeds the lower limit of the hatch, and if you immediately and sharply open the door, a real flood will occur.
So, we proceed as follows:
- tilt the machine back;
- open the door;
- Use a mug or ladle to gradually empty the tank.
Simple instructions are complicated by only one thing - opening the hatch of a frozen car is not so easy. When the cycle starts, the electronic locking is automatically activated, after which it will no longer be possible to unlock the door in the standard way, using the handle. You'll have to do it another way:
- prepare a long and thin cord;
- insert the rope into the hole between the hatch and the washing machine body where the locking mechanism is located;
- pulling the ends, place the twine as deep as possible;
- Pull the loop until you hear a click from the lock opening.
You can only open a machine full of water if for some reason you cannot use other drainage methods. It is worth understanding that manually emptying the drum is very long and difficult - you will have to spend a lot of time on monotonous work. Also, in this situation, you won’t be able to drain everything; a certain part of the liquid will remain in the tank and pipes.
