Chuck January 16, 2014 for Model Number SHX45P05UC/59 Our water pipes that run to the dishwasher froze and a cycle was run before I realized it. Since then, water sometimes remains in the tub after the cycle is complete. It doesn't happen with every cycle, but if it does, we can hear a low hum like it is trying to run. Sometimes it will suddenly begin pumping water hours after the cycle has ended. Should replacing the pump solve the issue?
1 Answer Hello Chuck. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the pump is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Mark December 10, 2013 for Model Number SPS2432AU04 Hi the wash arms just squirt but do not rotate the wash arms, I think the inner impeller has come away and broken off, how much to replace the pump housing only? I have detached from the motor and am just looking to replace part and the seals.
1 Answer Mark, Unfortunately the housing and seals are not available separately and would have to replace the circulation pump. Read More...
Linda M October 18, 2013 for Model Number Bosch SHU 8805 UC My dishwasher fill ups with water and drains but it seems like the dishes are not getting clean. It is also making a singificant noise.
1 Answer Hello Linda. Check and see if the impeller is bad. If so, replace the impeller kit 00167085 on the unit. Read More...
Virginia September 28, 2013 for Model Number shx3ar75uc/07 Dishwasher model shx3ar75uc/07 does not drain completely after wash cycle. The water left in the bottom is cloudy. I clean the filter often. It is not clogged. I called customer service about this, and they guided me through a manual drain cycle by holding down the Start button for 10 seconds, then closing the door. When I do that, it drains completely, and the pump sounds normal. But when I run the wash cycle, it continues to leave water in the bottom. What would case this problem, and what do I need to do to fix it? I would like to repair it myself rather than calling a servicer. (The dishwasher is less than 2 years old.)
1 Answer Virginia, This issue sounds like it would be a faulty control board running some water into the unit while the unit is draining. Read More...
Bob August 02, 2013 for Model Number Bosh dishwasher shu9955 Fills and drains fine no unusual noise - in wash mode rotational noise is heard from the bottom of the unit while water is being moved around during washing cycles. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bob. You need to check and see if the water level is filling up to the proper level inside the unit. If it is low, the water will not circulate properly and will not clean the dishes properly. If you determine it is low, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
Frank M. July 01, 2013 for Model Number shu3006uc Hello, I have a Bosch shu3006uc which I have let sit for years as I mostly do dishes by hand. We ran the machine recently and it squeals and leaks all over the floor. I am sure the seals got hard and brittle but not sure which parts to replace. I am willing to fix the machine but need to know if I should by the circulation pump kit #20 or a drain pump? Please advise, Thanks, Frank
1 Answer Hello Frank, The squeal is from the seal sticking to the motor shaft from not being run for some time. The leak is most likely the same seal that is making the noise. This will be in the circulation pump since the drain pumps usually do no have this characteristic. Considering the design of this unit, I would recommend to replace the water valve also since they tend to stick after long periods of non-use. Since the water valve will normally stick in the open position, this is well advised to prevent water damage to the home. Read More...
Mike May 24, 2013 for Model Number SHY56A05UC/14 Hi, At the start of the cycle the wash fills, but very little pressure out of the spray wands. It sounds like a pump rebuild kit, based on previous posts. Is that accessible from inside the machine, or will I need to pull the bottom enclosure off? Thanks. BTW, great website.
1 Answer Mike, The circulation pump has to be pulled from the bottom do repair or replace. Read More...
Kerry S December 09, 2012 for Model Number SHU5305UC/U12 Unit works occasionally but will end reverting back to either not running or getting stuck in the last cycle and running all night until I turn it off. I call a tech and he found water in the bottom tub below the pumps. The tech thought it may run after we remove the water or it may be a bad Circulation Pump. I removed the Drain Pump and it appears to be ok. Tested i with a meter. After drying the unit again and running the DW, I noticed water entering the lower cavity from the Circulation Pump. I assume its the Circulation Pump that is bad. Do you think installing a Circulation Pump Repair Kit will correct the problem? I assume the water is leaking due to warn gaskets.
1 Answer Hello Kerry, Yes this circulation pump repair kit will work to repair your pump. You may also want to check to see if leak is else where before trying to install the repair kit. Pull the water valve off still leaving connected and using a flashlight with unit filliing with water check to see if there is splashing or dripping. If you see splashing or dripping coming from tub on the side where the water hose goes up then you would need a new water valve. Read More...
Mike December 01, 2012 for Model Number Shx46b05uc/21 My unit starts, fills with water, then pump quits. After short period a slight electrical smell occurs. Does this indicate a failure of the pump motor?
1 Answer Hello Mike, This sounds like you either have a piece of debris in the pump or the motor windings 00239144 have shorted. I kind of doubt the latter, but the first is very possible as I have removed many toothpicks and bones form the pump impeller. Read More...
Survey Bob October 18, 2012 for Model Number Bosch dishwasher shu53a05 My unit controls seem to work as always and the unit will fill and drain water but I hear no washing going on and the soap remains in the dispenser even though the dispenser door is open. I talked to a repairman and he said my pump was shot and if he repaired it I would have almost as much as a new unit. I looked at new comparable units and they go for $1,000 so I think he is off on that. Plus so much of the new one is exactly like mine inside, dispenser,rack,etc. Is there a way to check the pump? Does that sound like the problem? I have it pulled out from under the counter and can access it.
1 Answer Bob, It could be an issue in the impeller assembly 00167085, in the circulation pump 00239144. It is pretty involved, but you're halfway through the repair if the dishwasher is un installed. We'll send you some basic information, and you'll be able to do the repair yourself. Read More...
