Ed May 28, 2016 for Model Number shx33a06uc/42 The dishwasher won't fill. The screen is clear and the inlet valve has good continuity. Where is water level sensor?
2 Answers Hello Ed, The water valve can be seized and not physically opening. The water valve is the most common cause of this complaint. The water level control assembly 00440670 is located on the left side of the appliance as you face it. Read More...
Vanessa December 15, 2015 for Model Number SHX55R55UC/64 I troubleshooted my dishwasher on here and order the float switch. I was getting an error 01 and was hoping this would fix everything. repair was simple but did not change anything. Water is coming in through bottom arm but not reaching the upper rack. I was hoping that I didn't need to replace the circulation pump - but it isn't circulating.. given that the error code means heater - would replacing the heating element fix this?
1 Answer Vannessa, With the Error 01 being a heater issue you would want to replace the heater. It is possible that the heater could be clogged causing an issue with getting water to the upper spray arm. Also check the pump and the screens to make sure that they are not clogged causing an issue where the unit is not drawing enough water. Also check to make sure that there is enough water getting into the unit. Read More...
Larry E. February 26, 2015 for Model Number she43f02uc/48 bosch dishwasher I have just put a water inlet valve on and still not getting water into the dishwasher. Would the float switch prevent a water fill?
1 Answer Hello Larry, The float switch can cause this but you should verify water pressure to the unit and voltage to the valve since it cannot allow water to enter if the valve is not energized. If not voltage is present during the fill part of the cycle, you will need to verify the door switches are closing and voltage is being passed through them. If no voltage is getting there, you could have a bad control module 00676960. Read More...
Bruce C February 20, 2015 for Model Number SHU3035 UC/12 (FD 8006-) I have an intermittent problem in that sometimes the timer knob will not advance beyond the 6 o'clock position and once it didn't advance beyond a little past the 9 o'clock position. In both cases the pump keeps running, circulating water. If I move the knob 1 click it completes the cycle. I'm hoping it's not the timer 'cause they're no longer available. Like I said, this is an intermittent problem and it's only happened 2 or 3 times.
1 Answer Bruce, With the unit sticking at certain points then it would most likely be the timer in which the contacts are sticking. Read More...
Robert February 04, 2015 for Model Number SHI6805 UC/06 Water continually flows into the dishwasher even when off. Dishwasher fills up with water and leaks out the door when off.
1 Answer Hello Robert. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Gerry June 14, 2014 for Model Number he43m06uc/52 I have no water coming into my Bosch dishwasher, No kinks in line. Replaced water inlet valve. Should I replace float switch. Not sure if water inlet valve is getting power. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Gerry, You should check the flood switch assembly 00440670 in the base. If there is any water in the base assembly or the switch is stuck in the up position, the only thing that will work on the unit is the drain pump. Read More...
Mike March 17, 2014 for Model Number SHX46A02UC Dishwasher cycles for around 4 hours. Opening door every 45 minutes bottom full soapy water.Eventually drains. unit cycles spraying water seems normal just long. Power outage during cycle .could be cause.
1 Answer Mike, Yes, the power outage could have caused an issue. The most likely issue that would have been caused would be a issue with the heater circuit. With the unit washing for 4 hours it sounds as though the water temperature is not hot enough. Read More...
Siesta July 07, 2013 for Model Number shy56a05UC - FD 8405 Sink drain clogged up. While attempting to unclog, caused water to back up in dishwasher. (Perhaps it was running and door got shut in process and it started again.) It flooded. Got water out. After sink was unclogged, DW drain motor operates with door open. I read an answer you gave on forum: "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." I know that the water valve could be broken, but I would like to try and dry out any water still in base. Can you advise where the moisture sensor is? Is that the same as a "float switch"? I found this same situation described in the PDF troubleshooter mentioned in your forum on page d3 in this post: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/dishwasher-repair/7123-bosch-dishwasher-troubleshoot-manual.html#post19321 (although this PDF is prior to my model). Could you give me the least invasive first steps for potentially removing water that could have resulted when I plunged the sink? I did see some of the enzymes I had tried to break up the drain clog in the DW, so I'm assuming I backed the water up into it. Thank you
Larry July 03, 2013 for Model Number shu9915uc No water. Check water line, ok. Change water intake. Still no water.
1 Answer Larry, You will want to check to see if the water valve is getting power to it. If not then check the float switch to make sure that the switch is not bad. If the switch checks ok then you will want to check the wiring from the valve back to the control board and if ok then replace the control module. Read More...
Ron November 27, 2012 for Model Number SHE56C05/38 First thing we noticed: it pumps water out for a short (3 to 4 seconds) time then stops a short time then pumps again,some times all night. Now it does the same thing but has over flowed out the front door, this time he had to turn the water off to get it to stop. Doyou think it is relay or fill switch? is there anything else could cause this and where are these parts located to check.? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Ron. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
