SHE6AP12UC (06) Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

This was the third time I replaced a fill valve in a Bosch diswasher, twice in this unit and once in a previous unit. I read the installation hints on your web site and want to add the following suggestion.

The notes on your web site say you can remove the valve from behind the toe face and pull it out to reach the hose and plug. I found that the Bosch designers called for both the hose and wire to on the short side. I found that pulling the dishwasher forward 6" to 9" allows you to access these connections from the side at least to hold them while making the connection. I hope this helps. Thank you, Bill

Turn off water, disconnect power cord, remove front kickplate. Remove 2 screws that hold the water inlet valve, pull it out, disconnect electrical connection, disconnect water supply.. Check the inlet valve with volt-ohm meter for continuity. If it is good, then the valve is stuck shut. The ohm reading should be in the 900-1100 range. Replace valve, installation is the reverse.

disconnected inlet hose and water line from sink, removed old inlet valve and installed new valve and reconnected inlet hose and water line from sink - checked for leaks.

replacing the sensor was simple, just unplug and turn it out, but didn't solve the problem, it's a float sensor that doesn't show up on the tech sheet in the dishwasher or anywhere in troubleshooting on the internet I could find.

Remove the dishwasher from under the counter. Remove door springs. On the inside of the lip of the door remove the 6 screws that hold the outer door panel on, and remove panel. this will expose hinge screws. Remove the two screws per side holding the inner door to the hinge assembly. Take pictures of the way the gasket's grey plastic end cap assembles between the inner door frame and the hinge, and remove the inner door. The old gasket has a channel lip that sits on the plastic edge of the washer tub, pull it off this lip and discard. Install new gasket and put it all back together! Use this opportunity to clean the gunk out of the upper door seals.

easy repair, but the check valve wasn't the problem, it was the float switch that isn't on the tech sheet in the dishwasher or mentioned as a possible culprit anywhere I could find on the internet

Slip the wheel onto the axle, snap the clip facing up onto the frame

Followed instructions from YouTube.

My Bosch dishwasher is approx 11 years old. It was leaving water in the dishwasher pan at end of the cycle.

I replaced the drain pump component, which is accessible by removing the lower front panel. It is not necessary to remove the dishwasher door panel to access the pump, but may help with accessing the pump if you have difficulty getting it to come loose.

On the initial install of the new pump, It wasn't fully seated so it dropped a bit. Make sure the pump is fully inserted (push on it or use a bit of Vaseline on the rubber). Once fully seated it no longer dripped and the dishwasher is now draining properly.

Steps
1. Shutoff power at breaker
2. Remove lower access panel at front of dishwasher
3. Remove filter, drain and retaining clip from tub, empty water from tub with sponge or baster
4. Unplug drain plug wiring connector (small clip on right)
5. Twist old drain pump unit clockwise to remove
the old unit (have a towel ready to catch any water left in the tub)
6. Connect new pump to wiring harness
7. Insert the pump at 2 o'clock position, ensure it is fully seated (see note above).
8. Twist pump counterclockwise until it locks into place. The pump should not wiggle and be firmly connected to the unit.
9. Replace tub clip, drain screen and cover
10. Turn power back on, run cycle to test for operation and leaks
11. Reinstall lower access panel.

when you receive the drain pump and you are ready to install make sure you put VASELINE around the rubber Gromit that will make putting the drain pump in very easy, also to give yourself more space to remove and install the pump remove the front door panel.
It took me 20 minutes from start to finish

The problem and solution were described on the internet. I ordered a set of 4 wheels for $43+. I received one wheel. When I called Drew told me that the order was correct, but the description on the web page was wrong. He was to sent me a return label, but it has not arrived. Since then I went to the Bosch website, found the set of wheels (Part 10016657) for $42. They have been installed and the problem seems to have been fixed.

Tried the door lock first. Did not fix the problem.

Replaced the drain pump and it fixed the problem.

Parts Select identified the pump as the most frequent problem.

Next time I will order both parts when one is cheap for any repair.

Find Parts Select is very helpful. They have identified a problem with a washing machine in the past.

I will use them for future problems.

Turned power off, disconnected plug from switch, R&R switch, reconnected plug and restored power

replaced left upright unfortunately I ordered 2 left and now I still need the right Wish they would have caught that on the order

Removed old discharge pump and replaced it with the new one. After four attempts the dishwasher worked once. This cycle continued for the next 3 attempts then it stoped all together. Ordered the sensor, installed it snd the dishwasher still doesn’t work! Now what do I do???
