Hi all (happy new year too)

I own a 2801 & drastically upon my return from xmas hols, its deceided to give me some jip.
It loads up with water & the drum starts turning like usual, but abour 20 mins into the programme after even pumping some water out, it gives an error message!!!

Has anyone got any idea what has gone wrong with my machine?

Huge thanks to anyone who can spare time to reply

Regards

Found your questions a few days ago when looking for the answer to this question myself. Im no technical engineer so excuse my lack of technical terms below and if you already done this.
I had same problem on mine on off for last 6 months but today I think fixed it. First check the waste pump filter (its not really a filter) you can access from the bottom of the front of the machine under the flap on left side by unscrewing the plug, have a bucket for the water that will come out! Mine this time wasn't blocked but has been before with coins and did solve the problem before. I then took the back panel off and where the waste pump leaves (top right side) you see inside a clear rigid plastic pipe that has the bend hose to outside the machine. This snaps out pretty easy with a screwdriver and remove the hoses from both ends and the little one on top inside. In this I found two 5p coins and some other debris, clean this under tap and put back together. Machine done a wash since all OK. The whole thing took all of about 30 mins. Might of already done this but if not hope this helps.

oooops, done it again!

Can anyone tell me where the filter may even be on my Bosch WFK 2801 please ?

I almost forgot! The error message i am getting is Error Code 03 & what i can gether by some other questions/replies, is that it may be a blocked pipe or filter problem.
I have already tried un-blocking the waste pipe (seems O.K) but now feel that i should concentrate on the filter issue.
Any thoughts anyone please?

Many thanks
