How to Troubleshoot & Replace Bosch AP5781602 / 00617642 Hose Clamp

Leak was slow but becoming gradually worse. Pulled dishwasher out from under counter then visually inspected sump while it ran. As soon as the water got very hot, I could see the sump leaking where it meets the stainless pan. Searched for the correct sump gasket without success. Turns out that the gasket is built into the sump for this model. The built-in gasket is very narrow (under-engineered IMHO which is probably why it developed a leak). Thanks to Simon's excellent videos at appliancepartspros.com I was able to pull the sump, remove all the critical parts (diverter, circulation pump, drain pump and aqua-sensor) and then "rebuild" the sump system. The most perplexing part was figuring out how to remove/install the water diverter since my internet searches were unsuccessful. You need to locate the locking latch on the perimeter of the circular diverter housing. Make a mark on the housing and the sump so you remember the correct orientation. Now, while you release the locking latch push down on the circular housing while you turn it counter-clockwise (?) and pull the entire diverter assembly from the sump. Installation is just the reverse except you need to make sure that you properly orient the diverter into the sump housing before turning clockwise and hear the locking latch click into place. Also you have to be very patient as you figure out how to disconnect all of the plugs on the wiring harness as to not damage any of them. Finally, just follow Simon's video on replacing the circulation pump to get everything put back together again and cross-your fingers that everything works upon testing. Only special tool needed is the Torx T-20 screwdriver. 

I pulled out the dishwasher and found the leak. I then went to appliance parts pros and watched a couple of videos to determine what part to order. (so helpful) The diverter came in two days ahead of schedule(also so helpful) The repair was very easy(thanks to the video) and I had it back in a few minutes later. 

Replaced inlet valve. Took a while to diagnose, I could see water in the base after the cycles were complete, it would be present in the center of the base. What I couldn't see was the water that dripped into a channel directly under the water inlet valve. When the water under the valve channel reached a certain level, it would flow into the center of the base. The video for the replacement of the valve was great and made the repair easy. 

Removed the dishwasher, found the leak causing the code. It was at the water inlet valve, Knowing that AppliancePartsPros.com has helped me in the past with parts. I ordered a new water inlet valve, which arrived in two days. Thanks Installed the new one based on the video provided on their website. All went great and the leak and code fixed 

I watched the APP video on the subject. trouble shot the problem down to a malfunctioning inlet water valve. I ordered the valve from APP and as I was reviewing the video on how to replace the valve I identified another possible problem with the replacement. The internal inlet hose could be damaged. Another quick call to APP for the hose and clamps. Between the two orders total shipping time was 3 days. The repair it self from getting the dishwasher out of the cabinet and replacing valve and hose took @ 1 hour. I ran the dishwasher sitting on the floor and everything worked as it was supposed to and all connections were tight and dry. I'll reinstall the dishwasher this afternoon. I cannot say enough about the quality of the customer support provided by every member of the APP staff I interacted with.
