Art December 27, 2021 for Model Number SHPM98W75N/01 Purchased October 2017. Foam at end of cycle. I haven’t put any rinse aid in in over 30 cycles and control panel says add rinse aid. Use Seventh Generation detergent powder. Foam at end of cycle even if no wash detergent is used. Rinse dispenser door seals seem tight. Hot water injected into the rinse aid dispenser fill bowl produces lots of suds. Seems there must be a big residue built up in the tank. How can I clean the tank, or is something else wrong?
1 Answer Art, it is recommended that the dishwasher is ran through several cycles using Affresh W10282479 to clean the suds. Read More...
Hunter June 02, 2021 for Model Number SHPM78Z54n Hello. We just bought brand new dishwasher Bosch 800. We loaded dishwasher, added detergent and started to add rinse aid in rinse dispenser, but instead of getting inside it started to leak out from the base on door surface and actually quite a lot. We tried one more time, but with the same result. Just a little inside and a lot of outside. This is brand new machine, which we got 3 days ago. Do we need some adjustment or need to call for service.? Thanks
1 Answer Hunter, This issue sounds like a damaged dispenser and you would want to have a servicer if it is under warranty. Read More...
Howard May 11, 2021 for Model Number SHP865WF5N/11 Rinse-aid dispenser leaked out the bottom from day one. Just had the dispenser unit (item #12008380) replaced by Bosch-recommended local repairer. Not only does the new one leak just like the old one (showed tech before he left; he said "Call Bosch then let me know what they say." After he left, tried running a load ... NOTHING works!!! Will call tech again tomorrow AM - but for now am EXTREMELY disappointed in Bosch support for their product. Any advice????
1 Answer Howard, it would be recommended that the unit is inspected for any loose wires, including the power cord in the back if the dishwasher was moved out from where it is installed. In regards to the new detergent dispenser 12008380, if the leak is coming from where the rinse aid door closes it would be likely that the gasket is not seating properly which can be caused by the door not locking in fully. The rinse aid door would need to be checked for proper alignment and that the gasket is set in proper alignment where it can seal in place. Read More...
Michelle March 31, 2021 for Model Number SHE43RF6UC/64 My Bosch is 8 years old. First it makes a rhythmic knocking sound. There is nothing loose or in the way. I always make sure of that. What is the problem? Also the flap on my rinse aid compartment opens on its own and I noticed when I fill it there is some leaking out in the small area where the soap/rinse aid part joins the door. Thank you for your help
1 Answer Michelle, in regards to the rinse aid compartment, it sounds like the rinse aid solenoid is leaking by and the dispenser assembly 00490467 would need to be replaced. In regards to the rhythmic knocking, if the spray arms have the proper clearance, the failure could potentially be in the circulation motor 00442548 if the noise is occurring during the entire cycle.

Sm February 12, 2021 for Model Number SHEM78Z55N We just purchased our Bosch dishwasher and ran it for the first time. Is it normal for the rinse agent door to be open at the end of its cycle?
1 Answer SM, the rinse aid door should not open at the end of the cycle. The only time the door should open is going to be when it is opened to refill the rinse aid. It is possible that the door is catching on an item or is not locking in place securely and it would need to be inspected for a secure latch. Read More...
Jeff December 02, 2020 for Model Number model she3arf5uc/07 Hi, My rinse aid ran right though my dispenser so I replaced the dispenser,. It worked fine for 1 use, now it is empty, what would be my next step? I would appreciate any help you have to offer. Thank you, jeff
1 Answer Jeff, Based on the information provided and the fact you have replaced the dispenser assembly you may have a bad control that is sending power to the dispenser all the time causing it to empty out. I would check for power to the dispenser from the board. Read More...
Roger November 30, 2020 for Model Number SHX68T55UC I purchased a Bosch dishwasher in April 2016. Model # SHX68T55UC. When I add Rinse Aid, the liquid runs straight through so I changed the usage to 0 to get rid of the message "Add Rinse Aid". From what I understand the Rinse Aid unit can be removed and cleaned with white vinegar. Does that sound like an option I should try? Last resort what is the model number to replace the one I have? Do you have a procedure to show the necessary steps to remove the dispenser? Does the soap dispenser come out with the Rinse Aid dispenser? I can't look at it now because the dishwasher is running.
1 Answer Roger, the rinse aid dispenser is going to be a part of the detergent dispenser and can not be removed independently. Vinegar can be used to try to clean the rinse aid dispenser and then rinsed thoroughly using water, however, it would be likely that the detergent dispenser would need to be replaced. The full model number would be necessary to ensure the compatible dispenser is identified. Read More...
Lisa November 10, 2020 My dishwasher is about 8 years old and has been leaving a sticky film on my dishes. I currently using FInish Quantum pods but have had this happen with other pods, too. I also use Finish Rinse-Aid.
1 Answer Hello Lisa, without a model number to go by, we can just give some basic checks. The detergent used should be able to remove a film on the dish surface. However you would want to check the incoming water is at least 120 deg, the dishwasher's heater is working, the spray arms are turning, and it is draining correctly. Lastly, you should use a dishwasher cleaner such as Affresh to remove any deposits in the tub interior. Read More...
