Harold R Leander , TX March 02, 2021 Appliance: Bosch Dishwasher SHE55M15UC/64 Bosch dishwasher flooding after freeze. This was not my first rodeo have repaired our appliances and those of our daughters for years, have ordered parts from this site several times. We had a cold spell in Texas, as you may have heard. We weathered it okay but left the dishwasher closed on one of the colder nights, woke up to water on the floor in the kitchen. Turned off the supply line, shut off the dishwasher power, bailed out the bottom, and mopped up. Had a fair idea of what the cause was, checked a few websites, watched some repair videos, including the ones on this site. I'm a belt and suspenders type, so I got both the float assembly and inlet water valve assembly. As is generally true of all appliances, there are several variants of this model dishwasher, so videos can't show all the ins-and-outs for each specific model. Had a little trouble deciding which inlet valve assembly to get, as equivalent/upgrade parts were not indicated, but went with the assembly that looked the most like the one in the machine. As in the past, got them in short order, even with the bad weather and ensuing mess. The videos showed the replacement of the float and valve separately, but the dishwasher must be pulled out to do the float, so decided to do them together. That turned out to be a good idea because even with door disassembly, assessing the valve was difficult, particularly the waterline, which was difficult to reach and hold from the front. Removed the old float assembly, took the valve out through the side to replace it, then installed the new float assembly. The line was clamped to the valve with one of those coiled spring gizmos that are difficult to work with, pulled it off, and replaced it with a 7/16 screwed band clamp. Some expletives were deleted during the process, but it all went together fine, at least until the final stages of re-assembly. The curved splash-guard that goes under the door is held by two long pointed screws that go through deeply-recessed tubes and mate with openings in the base. Probably easy to do with the machine on its back, but I had to do it from the front while lying on the floor. I'm a former electronics tech and have devices for holding and inserting screws, but it required several tries with steady hands for each screw. More expletives were deleted. A tubular driver that firmly held the screws would have been ideal. Didn't have one, but finally got it done. Put the dishwasher in the cabinet, re-connected the water and electric lines, and it's all good. After thinking about it, believe some tightly-fitting thin fiber washers or just some thin pieces of plastic with punched hols pushed on neat the points after the screws are insereted through the tubes would work and conserve expletives.

Mark I Grand Rapids , MI December 21, 2015 Dishwasher ( bosch ) water not getting to unit when called for My dishwasher stop working when my water pump for the house was changed out due to it dying & no longer working. The guys who changed it out back flushed the line & all the sediment came back through the lines in the house, on of the lines was the dishwasher. We ran the dishwasher to clean the dishes that evening & noticed that it wasn't running like it normally did, upon inspecting it I noticed that no water was reaching the inside to do any cleaning, I checked the repair site on AppliancePartsPros.com. The Video of the repair was very helpful & explained what the possible problems could be, the water valve assembly was damaged, it couldn't work properly due to the sediment that came back through the line to it, I ordered a new water valve assembly. I paid for, regular shipping, they said it would take 4 - 6 working days. I got it the next day, wow!!! . I also changed the supply line ( I got from the box store ) as it wasn't much good either...Great service & quality product, dishwasher is ready for the Christmas clean - up, Yea!!!

James H Saint Paul , MN January 14, 2018 Appliance: Bosch Dishwasher SHE68M05UC/47 Bosch dishwasher loud noises and slowly filling with water My water heater broke and I had to shut off the hot water. After I repaired the water heater and turned the water back on, my dishwasher started making noises. Not all the time at first, but it progressively got worse, until a couple days later the noise was constant and the tub was not filling with water. Based on other posts online and where the noise was coming from, I decided to replace the water inlet valve. The part arrived quickly and swapping it out took me about two hours. Most of that time was spent figuring out how to get the bottom off of my unit. My model (SHE68M05UC/47) was a little more complicated than the videos that I found online. Once I had access to the part, getting it out was easy accept for getting the hose off. That thing was locked on tight, but I managed to pry it off with a screwdriver. I was worried about mangling it, but the hose has a memory and I popped the new part in and the hose slowly tightened around it. With the clamp back in place, it was all good. Besides that it was just unplugging wires and plugging them back in. Took a few tries because small space/big hands, but I got it all done without having to take the dishwasher out/disconnect water. I replaced the check valve too just to be safe. It is working great and the swelling of my pride is an added bonus.
