My Bosch Logixx 6 washing machine just stopped working with error code 08. That's all I needed! Does anyone happen to know what this error means? Online, it says something like "No signal from the motor tachogenerator." If it's a motor failure, is it worth calling a technician, or should I just buy a new one? 🙁
Intuition.
No, an electric motor hardly ever breaks down. What usually fails are the brushes, which are cheap wear parts. But the tachogenerator is supposed to give the electronics an impulse. Let’s say you set a spin cycle at 800 revolutions per minute because otherwise your blouses get too wrinkled. Now, this needs to be monitored to make sure the motor doesn’t speed up to 1400, which it can do... I suspect your issue lies somewhere in this area.
