Joe G October 03, 2014 for Model Number SHE44CO2UC We replaced the kitchen sink and after hooking everything back up, I believe we ran the washer without turning the water back on for about 10 minutes. When we realized it, and turned the water on, the units sounds like it wants to start and then something kicks off and it just hums. Did the pump motor burn out or something else? Thanks
1 Answer Joe, If the unit is off and just humming like the pump is running then you will want to pull the front off the unit and check for a leak in the drain pan under the unit as it sounds like the flood switch may be activated. Read More...
Mark August 22, 2014 for Model Number Bosch SHX55M0UC/46 My Bosch SHX5505UC/46 dishwasher is not cleaning dishes. The dishwasher fills with water but after that there is no sound. I replaced the water inlet valve 4 months ago. I checked the spray arms and they are not clogged. The impeller moves freely and does not appear damaged. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Mark. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the circulation motor is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Lorie July 26, 2014 for Model Number she3arf6uc E-24 error on Bosch dishwasher. Drain pump issue. Can I reset the drain pump or troubleshoot it somehow before I go through taking it out? I probably have to take it out to reset the drain pump. Can you tell me how to do that?
1 Answer Hello Lorie, First look at the installation. Not draining properly does not necessarily mean the drain pump has failed. Make sure if the drain was connected to a garbage disposer that the plug in the disposer connection was knocked out. Also make sure the drain line has not gotten crimped. The next thing to do is open the door, remove the filters. There is a single screw with a torx head that will need to be removed. This will expose the drain pump impeller. Make sure there is no foreign objects in this area. The best way to clear the area is with a "wet vacuum". There is no "reset" for the drain pump and it can be replaced from the front through the kickpanel. Read More...
Kyle May 25, 2014 for Model Number Bosch SHU43C06UC / 14 I have a bosch shu43c06 uc/14 dishwasher. It fills and drains fine, but it doesn't push enough water throught the washer arms to spray the dishes. From reading other responses it looks like a need a new circulation pump since I already changed the water inlet valve. However, you offer a new pump and a circulation pump repair kit. What situation will the repair kit work, and when do I need a new pump.
1 Answer Kyle, Typically the pump repair kit is used when the impeller is broken or possibly in a situation as yours. Normally when the motor has to be replaced is when the motor burns out or is not strong enough to pump the water. Read More...
Phil April 17, 2014 for Model Number shx55m05uc/46 My circulation pump start and stops 4 times and then does nothing for the full cycle. If I open and close the door it will repeat this process and sometimes continue to work and clean the dishes. Other times nothing. I think it is the circulation pump but I do not want to invest $200 for nothing. Any ideas?
1 Answer Phil, Based on information provided it does sound like the circulation pump could be the issue. You will want to check the pump impeller to make sure that there is nothing that is in the drain that would cause the pump to not run. Read More...
Natasha March 27, 2014 for Model Number SHE43MO6UC Bosh dishwasher four years old started to make noise when water is moving inside the machine washing dishes. It fills water and drains well, dishes are coming out clean, no water left on the bottom. The noise stops in between when the water goes in and out, then noise starts again when water is moving.
1 Answer Natasha, You will want to check to make sure that there is nothing in the pump causing the noise issue. It sounds as though there is something that is hitting the impeller as it turns and creates the noise or the wash motor bearing may be going out. Read More...
Rich March 08, 2014 for Model Number SHy56A05UC/14 Dishwasher didn't finish cycling. There is a little water in the base it and makes a wuring noise. The water sprays out of the arms at a very low rate but the arms don't spin. What are the possible issue the unit is 10yrs+ old?
1 Answer Hello Rich. You need to check the water valve and see if it is bad and is not bringing in enough water to fill the tub. Read More...
Geopix February 17, 2014 for Model Number SHU42L06UC Dishwasher is making gear turning noise, water is coming in and draining but no spray. From earlier reply sounds like the impeller is bad. If the water is coming in and out does this mean the moter is still good? How do I check this to see if it is the impeller that needs to be replaced, or the whole motor? How do I get the dishwasher to run with door open?
1 Answer Geopix, We do not recommend trying to run the dishwasher with the door open. To access the circulation motor you will need to pull the unit from installation and rolling it on its back. You will then remove the screws holding the base pan in place and allow the base pan to partially open. You will then be able to access the circulation pump. Check the impeller for damage and for something being caught in it. Read More...
Mb February 09, 2014 for Model Number Bosch shx46ao5u My bosch dishwasher started making a load sound when I would first turn it on and also during the cleaning cycle. It cleans the dishes and it drains. I cleaned the drain filter and removed a couple small pieces of glass.I then removed the cover over the propeller and removed the rubber backflow preventer. The rubber backflow preventer was broken the round part of the preventer was stuck and I was able to fish it out. I did NOT replace the backflow preventer yet but reinstalled the propellor cover and the filter. Then turn on the dishwasher and the sound was even louder. I know I have to install a new backflow preventer but do you what can be causing the loud noise? It sounds like a loud spinning sound?
1 Answer Hello MB. It sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Scott M S February 09, 2014 for Model Number shx56b0suc/14 The dishwasher I have I can hear a pump working but the machine is not running and water seems like it is just trickling out like it has no pressure inside to even spin the washing arms I have a new braded water supply line installed on it so I know there are no kinks.
1 Answer Scott, You will want to check to make sure that there is no water in the in the base of the unit which would cause the units drain pump to continue to run due to a flood sense. This would cause the unit to not run except the pump and would cause water to not enter the unit. If there is water in the base you will need to determine the source of the leak. Read More...
