Scott October 29, 2014 for Model Number SHV4603UC/14 Bosch dishwasher wont drain. Can't find any obstruction and wife said she smelled something burning during last cycle. She also said that she heard the dishwasher beep to signal that it had finished the cycle. However, the dishwasher continued to run. Sounds like the drain pump? Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Scott, This is normally caused by a bad water inlet valve 00263789. It will not allow the water to enter the unit at full force causing a "dribble" of water to drip into the base pan and float the flood switch. When the water valve is off, reach through the opening where the water valve mounts with a towel to "wick" the water out of the base before installing the new valve, (a towel with no fabric softener works best). This will reset the flood switch and allow the unit to cycle through normally. As far as the noise and smell, the drain pump 00165261 is the most common cause of this complaint. I'm sorry but the pump has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Read More...
Tee September 14, 2014 for Model Number SHU33A05UC The water was remaining on the bottom. I changed the pump and clean the filter very well. I found some glass obstructing the pump. I closed the door and power up. With absolutely no water in the machine, I hear the pump running continuously and the the machine is stuck in one cycle, not advancing. Is any reset option? Or what else?
1 Answer Hello Tee. If not draining all the way, you will need to replace the drain pump. Then dry all water out from under the unit. Make sure the valve is not leaking into the unit. If it is , replace the valve on the unit. Read More...
Scott August 05, 2014 for Model Number Bosch SHX45M05UC/48 When dishwasher draining, I hear a strange loud noise. All water does drain from dishwasher. Is the drain pump going bad? If so please supply the part #. Will I need to purchase a wiring adapter to install this pump?
1 Answer Scott, With the noise coming in the drain cycle, you will want to check the drain pump to make sure that there is nothing caught in it. If there is nothing clogged in the drain pump then you would want to replace the drain pump 00642239. Read More...
Gman July 08, 2014 for Model Number shu3032uc/11 Is the impeller suppose to be loose from the drain pump?
1 Answer Hello Gman. No, the impeller should be tight and should not be loose. It sounds like you need to replace the drain pump on the unit. Read More...
James T June 30, 2014 for Model Number SHX43P15UC/60 I am pretty sure that Saturday night we fried to drain pump in the dishwasher. I smelled a strange smell not like an overheated electric motor, etc., but more like a hot plastic and water in the bottom. I suspect a second (I found the first) piece of broken glass got past the larger metal piece that was not properly tied down and jammed the impeller. I would love to buy a new pump from you but I would first like to verify how to get the pump out. It appears to be behind a plastic piece that is itself behind the kick plate. Thanks very much.
1 Answer Hello James. Just test and make sure there is power coming to the drain pump. If so, and the pump does not run, you will need to replace the drain pump. 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...
Vince June 22, 2014 for Model Number shx45p02uc60 The drain pump only runs for a few seconds at the end of each cycle. Leaves water in DW 3/4" high (from pan, not sump). The circulating pump continues to run during what should be the drain part of the cycle. At end of all cycles, dishes are kind of clean, and DW is still full of clean water. drain pump runs strong when it is running, it just quits before the job is done. Drain pump is capable of longer operation. When I do a clear cycle, it runs at the end until the sump is empty. I have cleaned out the drain, removed and cleaned the check valve. I am leaning towards the control module, but would like some confirmation. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Vince, If the drain pump operates properly in one cycle but not another, the issue will have to be the control module 00676964. Read More...
Duy April 05, 2014 for Model Number SHX33A05UC/22 I have a bad drain pump and according to your web site I will need pn 642239. My question is: My pump works but makes a very loud grinding sound. I think it has a bad impeller bearing. Can I purchase just the impeller/core/bearing assembly because I think my coil assembly is still good. The impeller assembly look to be very easy to replace and just snaps in.
1 Answer Duy, Unfortunately the manufacturer does not offer the impeller, core and bearing as separate parts and you would need to replace the drain pump assembly. Read More...
Lloyd R. T September 03, 2013 for Model Number Bosch dishwasher SHU43C06UC/22 Dishwasher is leaving bottom full of clear water after it runs the wash cycle. Used your chat line an they suggested I change the control module behind the control panel part number AP2802870. Ordered that from you an changed it. Dishwasher still left clear water in bottom after wash cycle. Used chat line again an they suggested I change the door latch with new switch part number AP5657279. Changed that an still left clear water in bottom of dishwarsher after cycle. Used chat line again an they suggested I change control module behind control panel with control module part number AP3858379. Why two different part numbers for same control module? An was I given wrong number for control module? This last chat line talk they also suggested I change the pump motor part number AP399662 an use adapter part number AP5323611. Along with the new number for control module, part number AP3858379. Any idea what is wrong with dishwasher? The parts already changed, plus parts suggested I change will add up to just about what a new dishwasher will cost.
1 Answer Hello Lloyd. Check and see if the water slowly fill the tub. If so, it is a bad water valve on the unit. Read More...
Jsr June 26, 2013 Hi I have just installed the drain pump, it snapped in very well. I put the door cover back on. Snapped in place. So now we start the washer on the quick cycle to test it, and behold the kitchen is flooded within 2 mins. What to do now????
1 Answer Hello JSR. Check and see if the leak is coming from the pump. If so, you do not have it seated properly or the housing is busted and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Elaine U. February 20, 2013 for Model Number Bosch SHV4803UC/U07 FD 8004 12 yr old Bosch Dishwasher won't drain at all, cleaned out bottom part and little rubber piece...no blockages. I'm guessing its the drain pump which seems easy to replace myself. What is the drain pump I would need to order? Also should I check anything else because prior to the dishwasher not draining at all, it was backfilling from the sink water too. When I would turn on faucet and then garbage disposal, sometimes the water would fill the dishwasher, I would open it and water would come out on floor. Recently had drains under sink cleaned, but the plumber wouldn't check anything with dishwasher said I needed appliance repairman. Thank you in advance!!
1 Answer Hello Elaine, This sounds like you have removed the check valve 00165262 that allows for either drain or circulation. Without this valve in place, the pump will constantly try to both circulate and drain at the same time, preventing the normal operation in either mode. In case I am incorrect in this assumption and the drain pump is in fact the only issue, the pump 00642239 will have to be replaced with an additional connector 00623143 for the electrical connection. The wire4s are not polarized by the way, so placement of the wires in the connector can be either way. The pump will not know the difference and will operate normally either way. Read More...
