Alc April 20, 2013 for Model Number Bosch dishwasher model SHU5315UC/U06 Circulation pump seal is leaking. I think the O-ring and motor are in good condition, but the water trough has a broken area at the thinnest part about 3/4" long segment. I think the water is directed in this area is leaking past the o-ring. My question is can the water trough be replaced and what is the part #? Or does the whole motor need to be replaced?
1 Answer Alc, The circulation pump motor goes into the housing which is part number 00263838. If it is leaking from this housing then it can be replaced separately. Read More...
Weneng April 12, 2013 for Model Number Bosch Dishwasher SHX-46 I insalled new garbage disposal and forgot to remove the plug for dishwasher drain. Ran dishwasher and it filled with water and wouldnt drain. Realized my error and removed the disposal plug. Dishwasher started and drained but won't fill. Sounds like its still trying to drain if I poured water into the basin, it gets sucked out to the drain. What is the fix.
1 Answer Weneng, You will want to make sure that your drain hoses goes up to a loop which acts as a siphon break. Read More...
Mark F. April 09, 2013 for Model Number SHU43C02UC/17 The circulation pump impeller has failed, (two pieces, the green impeller has broken off the white base that screws onto the motor shaft). Is this left hand threaded? I cannot find a impeller listing for the /43C02/17 unit. Only 12's & 14's. Are they the same unit? Thanks, Mark
1 Answer Mark, according to your model the circulation pump 00239144 is the correct part used on your appliance and will fit. Thanks. Read More...
Bill March 31, 2013 for Model Number shu5317uc/u12 The display was showing 9.1. then 8.9. and is now showing c.l. and seems to be stuck on drain. The original problem we had was that it stayed on all night and had to be manually turned off. When I used it again it seemed that it wasn't getting enough water to spin the arm. I am not sure what part would take care of these issues.
1 Answer Hello Bill, These units have a flood switch made under the unit in the base assembly. If water down there raises the float even by a hair, the unit will drain the water out and will not complete the washing cycle. The most common cause or the issue is the water inlet valve 00425458 not fully opening, which causes a dribble of water from the fill assembly on the side of the unit. This small dribble accumulates in the main base and generates the issue. Read More...
Pjsey March 09, 2013 for Model Number SHX33A05UC/14 The dishwasher fills with water but the water is just trickling out our the rotating arms. The pump seems to be making more noise than usual. I paid $135 for a repair visit and after 15 minutes of poking at the pump and turning the wash cycle on and off his diagnosis what the circulation pump was no good. Is it possible to determine this with such minimal inspection? Which part should I order: 19? or 19A? what is the difference? Do you include installation instructions or diagrams? Thx.
1 Answer PJSey, You would want to check to make sure that there is nothing clogging the recirculation pump which would cause it not to spray properly. If there is nothing clogged in the pump then it is bad and will need to be replaced. The Circulation pump part number is 00239144. It does not come with installation instructions, but to replace the pump assembly you will have to remove the unit from installation. Turn unit on its back and and remove the base of the unit.

Jesper W. February 17, 2013 for Model Number SHU4326UC The washer is running i.e. the timer on the front is counting down, but is doesn't sound llike water is entering the dishwasher. The pump is running but no water and the pump makes an awful noise. The pump smells like it is overheating or caveating . Is it the water inlet valve and if so how do I check it? Can I do it from inside the dishwasher? Thanks, Jesper
1 Answer Jesper, The overheating and cavitation noises from the pump, are most likely "normal" a lack of water in the pump assembly does produce noise and possibly a odor from the heater. Your first choice is to replace the fill valve 00425458, based on your post description. Here's some "how to" help "To remove water valve:??Remove two (2) T-20 Torx screws from toe kick and tilt toe kick out from under dishwasher.??Remove base insulation (on models with insulation).??Move sump inlet hose away from water valve (without disconnecting it).??Disconnect wires from water valve, including ground wire.??Remove two (2) T-20 Torx screws from water valve.??Pull valve out from dishwasher and disconnect water hose from rear of valve. Remove any water from sump & base." Read More...
Jay December 13, 2012 for Model Number SHX46A05UC/40 Got a Bosch SHX46A05UC/40 that does not drain after a cycle. Checked all the drain lines on the side of the machine to the sink drain and those look to be clear. Pulled the filters inside the unit and checked for anything clogging the unit and all seems clear. It does sound slightly different during certain phases of the cycle but not sure if that is because the pump is dead or if something is blocking the impeller.
1 Answer Hello Jay. You need to test for power to the drain pump motor. If there is power there, and the unit does not drain, replace the pump. If there is no power, check the wiring. If good, replace the control. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Tom December 03, 2012 for Model Number shu3306uc/u12 Hi I have cleaned up all the inlet ports and my dish washer still only produces enough water pressure to squirt water out of the bottom spray arm about 6 inches should I replace pump and motor or rebuild pump only diswasher is about 8 year old also would this affect the drying cycle
1 Answer Tom, a low water level, can create the same issue, start the machine and allow it to fill and run for 3 to 5 minutes. open the door, and remove the lower rack, the water level in the base of the tub should cover all the upper openings of the filter basket 00615079 (at the least). If the water level is in range, then consider the circulation pump 00239144 it this stage, thats the best bet. As for water circulation affecting the dry cycle, Yes, that can occur, the rinse agent won't be dispensed or disbursed properly, the dishes won't clean properly and the dishes will not "warm" properly to aid in the drying process.

Mike November 17, 2012 for Model Number Bosch SHU9925UC /UC12 Hi, I have a Bosch SHU9925UC12 dishwasher. Water pumps in but the arms do not move. Water pumps out just fine. I took apart the plate and basket, vacuumed out the water, pulled the screw and vaccumed by the impeller (blue plastic) which turns freely. The port on the right is the circulation pump. I can turn it freely with my finger. I put the shop vac on exhaust mode and sealed it to the hole that would feed the arms. It blew air through the port on the right and caused the pump vanes to spin very quickly, no motor resistance. New circulation pump?
1 Answer Hello Mike, I believe you are correct in the diagnosis of the circulation pump 00239144 as long as it is getting voltage. Replacing the pump won't fix it if it isn't getting voltage. I would make sure voltage is getting to it when it should be circulating and go from there. Read More...
Keith H. October 09, 2012 for Model Number SHU3032UC/14 Dishwasher runs, but no water pumps into it. Checked water supply , and hose water is getting to inlet into machine, but not inside tub through sprayers.
1 Answer Hello Keith, The unit should be filling to within an inch of the water touching the heating element. If it isn't, the water inlet valve 00425458 will require replacement. If it is, the pump needs to be opened from inside the unit to check for debris in the pump obstructing the impellers ability to circulate the water. The use of a shop vac is perfect for this after the cover held on by a single screw is removed. Read More...
