Super helpful video. Instead of paying $160 for a service call, then $20 for every six minutes of labor ($200/hour), and a $200 drain pump (that was out of stock anyway), I found a drain pump online for $55 and watched this video and installed it myself. Now our 15-year-old washing machine works again! Thanks!
Thank you soooo much!!! As other have stated, "clear instruction, great camera view, concise and to the point." My boyfriend was pleasantly surprised that I was able to do this all by myself. The pump hose was just clogged and once I cleaned it out with the shop vac and some paper towels, it worked great. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video. I didn’t need to replace the pump luckily. I just had to clean out the “filter” area (coins, paper clip and a bra pad!). Washer worked immediately!
Excellent video I have a 300 vision series. Exact location for the pump and easy access. I removed the pump found a 3/8's pebble in the pump, removed it and removed the pump, disassembled and cleaned out further. Ohmed the motor and reinstalled the pump and it is working. Thanks a Million. Your a good man
This was a perfectly detailed, clear and easy to follow DIY job. We just figured out that the problem with our Bosch washer in our new home was a clogged drain pump and the previous owner did not take proper care of it at all and the pump is completely unusable. Just ordered a new replacement drain pump motor assembly and are going to use your video to replace it ourselves. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. Took it apart as you said and the coin catcher was full of coins and some gross stuff. Thanks again for taking your time to make this awesome video!! Robin
This is extremely comprehensive, thanks for the video! I’m having trouble getting the drain hose to sit back in the top firmly, though. Is it tough for anyone else?
The rubber feet do not need to be cut. With enough conviction and two hands, you can slide the pump out. It helps to see how the feet are oriented in this video. Grab the whole pump and push hard and while wiggling back. It helps to also push the feet from the underneath side of the washer if you can fit you hand there. I wash able to remove the pump, and then replace just the motor, and then slide it back into place without destroying the original rubber feet.
I'm having trouble getting the kickplate off. The screws are out, but it won't budge! I need to know specifically which direction to push or pull before I end up breaking it. I'm searching online but I can't find any data on this washer.
Do you have a video or suggestions on where to go to see how to clean the filter? I just replaced this pump a couple months ago and don’t want to run out and get another one already.
Hello. Great video but I have a question. I have the 500 series washer and it’s making a noise when it’s drawing the water in. Any ideas why this might be?
Hi. The top hose for wouldn’t push back in. It’s a 3rd party pump as OEM out of stock. Is it possible the inner diameter is wrong? How to make it fit? Ugh. It’s the right model. I’m stuck.
I replaced my pump about 2 years ago, now it is giving me the same code, but no humming from the pump this time, if I drain the water from the washer and hit the drain cycle, it will cycle through the whole thing and it will not give me any code. Is it a bad pump again? Thanks
Holy hell, that kick plate did not want to come off. The screws were torqued in by the incredible hulk and he must have put glue on under that. Never buying a Bosch again.
Lift it up! Use a crowbar and some pieces of wood and some wood shims, and carefully lift the front up an inch or so, using the crowbar near the feet. I did it to mine, and it had the dryer on top of the washer, and it was fine. You have to be gentle so you don't lift it in the wrong spot. I did it myself. Or get some friends to lift it up and set it on the pieces of wood.

I’m so glad you made this video. It told me everything I needed to know and the confidence to attempt it. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Made the job easy. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Me too! It looks so easy in the vid.

Friday night well spent.

I just now replaced the pump in my Bosch 300 and it's still doing E:13. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You mentioned the filter but didn’t show how you would get it out if it wasn’t lodged. Do you have a video for that
Where did you purchase the pump?
How you get your camera in there freaky?
What type of pump is this, the part number please?
Holy hell, that kick plate did not want to come off. The screws were torqued in by the incredible hulk and he must have put glue on under that. Never buying a Bosch again.
great video but my washer is on a pedastal, how do i remove the cover if the washing machine is sitting on the pedestal.? thanks
Lift it up! Use a crowbar and some pieces of wood and some wood shims, and carefully lift the front up an inch or so, using the crowbar near the feet. I did it to mine, and it had the dryer on top of the washer, and it was fine. You have to be gentle so you don't lift it in the wrong spot. I did it myself. Or get some friends to lift it up and set it on the pieces of wood.
With the pedestals, it's even easier. Just open the drawer and you'll see the three Torx t20 screws at the bottom of the kick panel.
Awesome
what a pain in the ass this is!! I will never get a front loader again
Is there a way to get the door open until I call a technician?
Send me a purchase link
It would have been helpful to include the part number for the pump.
