I have a bosch nexxt 300 series washing machine. The problem is it had beeped code E04 the hoses were somewhat dirty and i cleaned those,but now the pump doesnt seem to be running and its getting hot. How difficult is it to change the pump if this is whats needed?

SOURCE: bosch frontload washer will not drain

This worked! I had the same problem. First, I unplugged the washer's power cord from the electrical outlet. Then I opened the filter door, and unscrewed the plastic cap, I cleaned our the area behind the cap and found two pieces of thin metal and a penny inside this area.One of the metal pieces was actually jamming the impeller. Spin cycle now works! Thanks!!

SUDS OR PUMP BLOCKED - ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL

Bosch Nexxt series 100 place clothes in machine start add detergent as always machine begins to add water for about 30 seconds then stops , sometimes stops and sounds like it is trying to drain sometimes just stops and won't unlock door even if you turn machine off. Sometimes if you switch from hot to cold washer will work just fine for a couple of days then back to just stopping.

SOURCE: Washer stopped. E04 beeps but won't spin or continue any cycle. Have shut off machine but only makes a strange sound.

Error code E04 with a full load of laundry and water in the washer. Unplug the power to the washer. Take off the round cover plate in the front right. Mine did not turn clockwise or counter-clockwise, it was completely stuck. Used two flat tip screwdrivers to carefully pry it away, without damaging anything. The plate is a hard plastic but just pliable enough.
Once removed, you will see the pump (img_0001). Unscrew the pump cover slowly. There will be water coming out, so be prepared. In my case we had a LOT of water, so I drained it gradually into a couple of large garbage bags. Wrap the bag opening tightly against the pump surround to minimize spills (img_0002).
Once all the water is gone, remove the pump cover and clean out any items trapped in the pump and in the drain from the drum (img_0003). In my case it was some loose change and a small ColorCatcher sheet. Reassemble the pump and you're done.

You first of all need to check the pump filter.
This should be located at the botom front right of washer.
Look for a drop down flap or cover, once located, unscrew filter anti-clockwise to remove and clean.

The pump itself is directly behind the filter housing, check there is nothing stuck in the housing.
This should solve the prob.
Please leave feedback for my solution.
Thankyou.
