Our Bosch Classi XX 6 1200 Express seems to have got itself into a state.

My wife thinks she set it going as normal then, accidently, pressed another
button or buttons, as she reached over the machine after it had started.

We've tried restarting the program. Turning off and leaving.

There is no mention of a "reset" or this fault in the instructions.

Display is 43 and the red light on the start button is flashing.

Any ideas, please?

This is a motor fault. Not limited to but most likely to be worn brushes.

Thank you, further Googling had suggested something like that.

I was hoping for a "reset" option. Thankfully, it is under 2 years old so
still under warranty.

What is it with modern appliances- one of our first washung machines lasted
17 years. Our first Microwave about the same. Later ones have averaged a 3
or 4 years and our new AEG microwave is the most unreliable bit of domestic
appliance junk I've ever come across.

Have you tried unplugging it from the mains for a short while? That's
successfully 'rebooted' our Bosch in the past

Modern stuff is built for people who have come to expect very short
lifespans from products, I think; the majority of folk don't realise that
things *could* be better (that seems to apply equally to appliances,
cars, computers etc.)

As I've said before in other threads, our current washing machine is 25
years old and runs at least once a day - as things stand I can still get
parts for it (not that it's needed any); I'll only retire it once parts
aren't available *and* I can't make my own.

Our dryer and cooker are a similar vintage. Our fridge turns 35 next
year. Our well pump is 40 years old... and they all do exactly what I
need them to do, so there's absolutely no need to upgrade to something
modern which I bet won't have anything like the durability or lifespan.

cheers

Yeah, but it ran on clockwork and elastic bands.

Part of the problem is changing standards and technological advancements.
Take a few examples since the 80's:

1) video recording (including non recordable home playable media)
Laser-disc, Betamax, Phillips 2000, VHS, VCD (less so in the UK), DVD,
Bluray

2) TV - DVB, satellite, HD DVB, HD sat

3) Computers - if your hardware survives more than 5-6 years, it won't run
the lastest bloated software

4) A few descrete leaps in technology but now the smartphone is basically a
PC in your pocket where 3 applies.

Think how long 405 analogue TV survived, then 625 colour. Rather than making
one jump and sticking with it for 20-30 years, there are micro jumps at
frequent intervals.

Fortunately, with TV, one can choose to stick with a level - I don't need HD
and we only watch a few special programmes.

People have got so used to "upgrading" every few years with the above
technologies, they don't think a washing machine, freezer or hoover (whose
improvements are usually very small) should last 2 decades

And yet, anyone over 40 will remember expecting just that and those under 40
will have had parents who thought that.

My Hotpoint freezer was bought in 1995, my Bosch tumble dryer around 1989
and both are in my kitchen now running faultlessly.

I am on my second kettle since 1995 too and the first one was subject to
very hard water (gold plated "plate" element, wise choice, very resliant).

Washing machine and fridge date to 2003-2005 because I sold my previous on
with my flat, didn't need in rented (came with house, until they died, told
the landlord I'd buy my own then).

I'm on my 3rd generation of home computers since 1998 ish, the second
generation (circa 2001-2002) only died last year after giving sterling
serice as a backup server. On my 3rd laptop - they do traval every day - but
second generation is limping along on daughter's desk.

It is still possible to get long service, but it requires a reasonable
amount of effort to buy well to start with and also not to be a fad-jockey -
or at least have a place to use the cast offs until they really die.

As far as I'm concerned there is nothing worthwhile they can do with TV
until they invent holographic projection ;-
