Bosch Dishwasher SHE55RF5UC/68 Will not drain or doesn't drain

The Check Valve is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It prevents the backflow of water into the dishwasher after it has been drained, ensuring that dirty water does not re-enter the appliance and contaminate clean dishes.

Causes of a bad check valve can include blockages from debris or food particles, wear and tear over time, or damage from improper installation or handling. These issues can impair the valve's ability to effectively prevent backflow.

Symptoms of a bad check valve include:

• Water not draining properly from the dishwasher
• Dirty water pooling at the bottom of the dishwasher
• Foul odors coming from the dishwasher
• Residual water remaining in the tub after the cycle ends

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

The Drain Pump is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It is responsible for pumping out dirty water from the dishwasher tub at the end of each cycle. The drain pump works to thoroughly empty the tub in a timely manner to facilitate a smooth transition to the next cycle.  

Causes of a bad drain pump can include a clogged impeller or blockage of debris inside the pump housing that inhibits proper water flow. 

Symptoms of a bad drain pump include:

• Incomplete draining of water at the end of cycles 
• Water remaining or pooling at the bottom of the tub
• Loud grinding or clicking noises emanating from the pump area
• Cycles failing to advance or resume properly

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore dishwashers.

Note: Due to a factory design change, connector part# 00623143 may also be needed.
