Shred February 06, 2024 for Model Number DWHD770WFP/17 My dishwasher is saying the drain pump is blocked. I opened things up and I think I see a piece of glass in there. I am assuming the only way to get in there is to go from the bottom and pull out the drain pump, then the debris will be accessible. And if indeed it's a piece of glass I'll be able to get to it. Correct?
1 Answer Shred, Yes, you will want to go in from the bottom of the unit and pull the drain pump out if you are unable to use needle nose pliers to get it from the top. Once you have the drain pump out then the glass should come out. Read More...
Rich January 04, 2023 for Model Number SHX68E05UC/13 Hi, Our Bosch was having issues starting. Sometimes we'd close the door and it would start, but other times it would not. When it did not start, the machine would typically beep after 1-2 seconds as if it had completed the cycle. Eventually, the dishwasher stopped working altogether so I replaced the main control board. The dishwasher initially worked for a few days, but now it is doing the same thing and will not start at all. I'm wondering if the drain pump needs to be replaced. I've pulled the drain pump and it is showing a resistance of 88 ohms across the terminals. What should the resistance be for a new drain pump? Any other things I can troubleshoot? Thank you!
1 Answer Rich, I would check the door switches and the wiring connections first. The drain pump should not be the issue unless it is not pumping out or if there is a leak causing the flood switch to open. Read More...
Tim December 26, 2022 for Model Number SHE3ARF2UC/21 DISHWASHER RECYCLE MOTOR WON'T RUN, TRIES TO RUN. REPLACED WITH NEW ONE SAME RESULT. AFTER PUSHING START BUTTON NO WATER COMES IN, DOES THE DRAIN PUMP NEED TO RUN BEFORE WATER WILL COME IN. WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED.
1 Answer Tim, Check to see if there is power (120vac) getting to the motor. If not use the tech sheet for diagnostics or to trace back to where you are losing the power. Read More...
Mark W September 23, 2022 Siemans/Bosch dishwasher not draining. have replaced the pump but the new one is also doing the same. the pump spins for a second or 2 then stops, then spins for a second or 2 then stops, and so on...so not spinning enough to shift water up the pipe. could it be control board, bad earth or something else...how can i test it ?
1 Answer Mark, You will want to test to see if there is a constant 120 Vac to the drain pump and if there is not then the issue will be with the control board. Read More...
Coach December 13, 2021 for Model Number longgolf@hotmail.com I have a Bosch Dishwasher SHX45M05UC/50. I think the serial number is FD8809 00248. A little confusing on the plate as to which number was model and serial. My dishwasher does not have a float to lift to see if the discharge pump is running. could you tell me how i can get that done to verify that the pump is actually the problem? thanks Coach
1 Answer Coach, On the dishwasher at the bottom there should be a tech sheet somewhere behind the access panel. Using the tech sheet you will need to test the drain pump motor from the main control board to see if there is 120 Vac from the control board to the pump and if there is and the unit is not draining then the issue will be the drain pump.

James Mcardle February 14, 2021 for Model Number Bosch SHE6AF02UC/06 Just got a new to us dishwasher. When we turn it on there is a LOUD whining sound when it starts the drain part of the cycle. Seems to move the water when on drain as I can hear the water going into the sink. I verified it is drain cycle by filling it up with water then lifting the float to activate drain. Does move the water, but makes a screeching noise. If I keep it draining with no water (for only a second) it does not screech without water going through drain pump.
1 Answer James, It would sound likely that either there is something caught in the drain or the impeller is slipping on the shaft of the pump and would need to replace the pump. Read More...
Dave November 24, 2020 for Model Number SHE5AL02UC/03 Hi, I think maybe I wasn't clear in my last question. The dishwasher DOES drain and runs normally for one cycle. However, after running one cycle, trying to run another cycle results in the dishwasher indicating "clean" after a minute or two. If I remove the drain pump and reinstall, it will then run normally again for one cycle. I replaced the drain pump but the issue is still the same. I was wondering if this had to do with the small amount of water in the sump which leaks out when I remove the pump, or if it is something else. Sorry if I was unclear. If this doesn't make sense I could call in and ask.
1 Answer Dave, Thank you for the clarification. With this new information, it is possible that the turbidity sensor could be causing this issue. Read More...
Dave November 24, 2020 for Model Number SHE5AL02UC/03 Hi, My Bosch dishwasher was "running" for a minute or two then indicating "clean." When I removed the drain pump, the sump would drain out manually, then after reinstalling the pump it would work ok for one cycle, then the same issue again. I replaced the drain pump but the issue is the same. Should I replace the turbidity sensor? Check valve? Thank you!
1 Answer Dave, The turbidity sensor would not cause the unit to drain and will most likely be an issue with the main control board. Read More...
Kent April 05, 2018 for Model Number SHE6AF02UC/06 E24 error with an occasional E25. Drain pump replaced OK. Dishwasher runs through on 'rinse and hold' cycle and drains normally. No blockage. However, E24 error returns on wash cycles. But opening the door during the pre-cycle seems to allow the wash mode to continue per normal. Could it be the control board?
1 Answer Hello Kent. Check the float switch and float and make sure they are not sticking first. If all is good, then you will need to replace the control board on the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Jason January 12, 2018 for Model Number SHE3AR56UC/21 Unit runs through cycle fine but pump does not work. Replaced pump with new but still will not work. Would a main board fail in a way to where the pump only does not work? Or could I just receive a defective pump?
1 Answer Jason, You will want to check to see if there is 120 vac getting to the pump and if there is not then the main board will be the issue. Read More...
