Don P. April 19, 2012 for Model Number SHX46A07UC/21 The cycle completes and the drain pump keeps running. The water is all out. The unit switched cycles on its own. It went from normal to pots and pans cycle. The drain pump ran all night. I am thinking control box Don
1 Answer The Bosch dishwasher has a moisture sensor, (flood sensor), in the bottom assembly that will shut off the units' ability to do anything but drain out. The drain pump will run as long as the moisture is sensed and nothing else will work on the unit until the moisture under there is dried up. Normally what I see in this case is a bad water inlet valve 00425458. Occasionally, there will be a leak around a hose or seal but this is a situation where a technician has to "clamshell" the unit to gain enough access to locate the leak. Since the water inlet valve is the most common failure, I would change it before calling anyone for the more extensive repair. Also, while the old water valve is out, before you install the new one, I use this opening with a towel or paper towels to dry up the water that is in the base already. Doing so will enable the unit to operate again. You can, if you desire, leave the water valve off for a day or so with a fan blowing into the base to evaporate the moisture. This takes a while if there is water puddled in there so if this is the method you want to use, wick the majority out with the corner of a towel then use the air flow method to dry out the remaining moisture.

Ron August 08, 2011 for Model Number SHX46B05UC/21 I have Bosch dishwasher which stop working, on/off will turn the lights on buttons, when I close the door, the washer would start for about two seconds and stop. I have remove the outer door fascia and can hear the control unit clicks and then stop. Is there way to test the control unit? Any information you can give me would be appreciated. Thank you
1 Answer Hi Ron. The control board assembly is included in the control panel area. It will have relays on it that will do the same issue as you described. The control board is part # 00496013. Thank you. Read More...
