Joe for Model Number SHU66C05UC/14 FD8411

I have a Bosch dishwasher model SHU66C05UC/14 FD8411. Halfway through a wash cycle to starting making a loud squealing noise. I opened the door and tripped the door lock and started the washer, water was coming out of the bottom are very slowly and not spinning. I pressed cancel and the water did pump out with no problem. I then tried to start the washer again and water pumped in with no problem and then stared making the same squealing noise with the same symptoms. I opened the bottom kick plate and the noise was coming from the bottom. I’m guessing it’s the Circulation Pump, your thoughts. Is so is the correct part Item Number: AP2826384 Manufacturer's Number: 239144? Also would you have instructions on how to replace the pump? Thank you Joe

Hello Joe, The first thing you need to do is pull the bottom rack and the screens in the bottom of the washtub. Now when you get the cup screen and the platter screen removed, you will need to use a wet vac to suck the water out so you can see what you're doing. When this is done, look in the bottom of the opening under the screen locations and you should see a small torx headed screw. This will either be a T-10 or a T-15. The screw is stainless which means it is non-magnetic. When it gets to the top of the threads, you can use your needle nosed pliers to pull it out. When the screw is out, use your needle nosed pliers to pull the impeller cover out of the way. Now, the impeller will be in view. You need to turn it a bit using the end of a screwdriver. I always use a screwdriver to turn it in case a glass sliver is under it. Since the material in there is white, glass slivers are invisible, but still quite painful. When you ensure the impeller is free, use the wet vac again to remove anything that may be in there. I will normally hear the piece of glass go up through the wet vac hose. 90% of the time, the circulation pump will now operate normally without changing it.

Hello Jose, There should be no more parts needed, but let me give you a little advice. I was trained by Bosch on the repair of their units, so I learned not to completely separate the tub from the pan assembly. It is much faster and easier to "clamshell" the unit instead. This basically means that you will not completely separate the tub from the base. You only take out the screws on front and rear that will allow the separation so the job can be completed. By the way, this is much easier to accomplish with an assistance to hold the halves apart while you work.

Hello Bill. Make sure there is not any debris in the chopper in the dishwasher. If not, and the noise is coming from the circulation pump, you will need to replace the pump assembly 00239144. Hope this helps.

Leo W. for Model Number Bosch SHU3306UC / U12

Thanks for your prompt answer. Here's where I am. 1. I started the wash cycle and checked the water level inside the unit when it completed filling. Note that on my model a water level of 1 1/2 inches seems like it would bring the water over the level of the door. I do see the trap area fill with water and the level come up to just under an inch (not 1.5") in the unit consistently. (I rigged the door switch so I could keep the door open and watch during the cycle - which would give me a shower if working correctly) When the sprayers activate there is still no water coming from the top at all, and only 4" or so coming from the bottom. Like you, my money is on the circulation pump. Based on this description what do you think? 2. Also while exploring inside I found a medium sized crack in the connecting pipe between the bottom and top sprayer. While the contributes to the low pressure problem, it does so only slightly. When I block it with my thumb the pressure comes up, but only very slightly. Even so, I would like to replace the part. Do you sell this part or the whole assembly and can you give me the number? 3. Finally, any instructions on replacement of the circulation pump you can provide are greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your prompt and thoughtful response. Leo

Leo W. for Model Number Bosch SHU3306UC / U12 FD 8010

The person above nailed the symptoms of my Bosch dishwasher precisely. The unit is making an abnormal noise during the wash cycle when the spray arms would normally be engaged. It spurts water out about four inches only from the bottom arm and nothing out of the top. Drains ok when we hit cancel drain. Like me, the previous poster seemed to suspect the circulation pump went bad. You also seem to suggest in your reply however that the water valve may be the culprit. I like your suggestion better since the valve is much cheaper. :) Could you suggest a procedure that would help me isolate which one it is? Thanks for a great service here, whichever it is I'll be sure to order from you. Look forward to your reply! Leo

Hello Leo. If the water valve is the problem, you can check the water level inside the unit. When you start the dishwasher, there should be about 1½" of water inside the unit. If the water level is low, then the valve is the problem. If the water level is correct, then you will need to replace the circulation pump 00239144. Hope this helps.

Hello Pj. Check and see if something is in the chopper assembly or the impeller. If so, clean out what is blocking the impeller. If all is clear, you may have a water issue. Check and make sure the dishwasher is filling properly and the water level is not low. If the water is low, it can also cause the problem your having. If so, you will need to replace the water valve 00425458. Hope this helps.

Juan, The control unit 00647475 determines when to drain the dishwasher, based on inputs from various sensors or a pre programmed cycle on the "chip". Since you don't have fail/error codes, and the drain hose is not obstructed, the first thing to check would be the drain pump 00167082 and the drain flapper and sump area for clogs and proper movement, operation. Thanks and Good Luck
