Thread: Bosch dishwashers

Your Bosch page is great, as are a number of your answers about other issues with Bosch. I have a SHU4302. I've had the exact control board problem you mention on your page... twice... I'm now having the problem with the drain running endlessly, which you also mention. I've tried replacing the control board, with no luck.

I don't see any obvious float under the filter at the bottom of the washer.

So I did a little hunting, and I found this part on RepairClinic.com:

http://www.repairclinic.com/referral.asp?R=153&N=935595

It's called a water level control assembly, and another internet posting (about an SHU53) describes the exact problem I'm having and says it was fixed by replacing this. Does this seem plausible? And I have one more problem:all my previous problems have been with the control board, and I know where that is! I don't know where this part is. Can anyone help? I imagine I'm going to have to pull the machine out to get at it.

Hi,

**SHU4302**

That is part of a full model#.

**I'm now having the problem with the drain running endlessly**

Usual causes....water in the base, float stuck in the up position, bad float switch/assembly.

**So I did a little hunting, and I found this part on RepairClinic.com**

The picture is upside down from how the part sits in the d/w, but that is the float switch/assembly.

Water level control assembly

**says it was fixed by replacing this. Does this seem plausible?**

Possible yes.

**I don't know where this part is. Can anyone help?**

Behind the fill valve on the side of the d/w....normally have to pull out the d/w amd remove the side panal to access it....fun wow!

Thanks Jeff! I'll give it a try.

My father is interested in purchasing a repair manual for Bosch dishwashers (he has two, I'm not sure if they are the same model). One of the dishwashers is having a problem, the complete wash cycle is taking more than three hours. He called Bosch and they suggested that the problem is with the heating element, but he is unable to locate where it is in the machine.

Thanks,
Verena

Verena,

Do you have a model number? We can try to locate a "blow-up".

Jeff has a ton of pictures too(applianceaid.com). Have looked at his website posted earlier?

I did look at the website, I didn't see anything related to the specific problem my father is experiencing. I am pretty sure the model # is SHU33A05.

Thanks,
Verena

You can see what the heater unit looks like on the Bosch SHU33A06UC14 model at the following link. I could find any listings for a model SHU33A05

I would like to thank everyone for their helpful replies. I still have two questions:

1) Is it possible to get a repair manual for Bosch dishwashers?

2) Where is the heating element located in the dishwasher?

Thanks!

Hi,

**Is it possible to get a repair manual for Bosch dishwashers?**

None that I am aware of.

**Where is the heating element located in the dishwasher?**

Buried inside a plastic cover/housing at the back bottom of the d/w....usually requires removing the d/w out and flipping it upside down and removing the base to access the acual heater.

Check for a burnt solder joint on the control board ( if used on yours ) first.
