This is an old posting by jdenyer232 on Fri, Nov 27, 09 at 13:11 which may be most helpful if I could get the manual. Our washer is doing exactly what others had mentioned and we had a repair person come out and then get on the phone with a Bosch tech and he said it was likely the motor control board. I'm not very happy but would like to try to fix before we just go buy a new washer (less than 5 years old too). Thanks--

"It has nothing to do with the amount of detergent used. You can run a self diagnostics on this machine and it will provide a lot of info. I really can't post the tech info here but I can email it to you if you provide an email address. It is a complete teardown and diagnostic manual for a couple of other models, but they also apply to the 500 and 800 series as well. My guesse would be the motor control board has gone out, you can confirm this is self diagnostic mode. Hope this helps and if you can provide an email address I can email you the manual in pdf format."
