SHE68M06UC (52) Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

Dishwasher racks are maddening. It takes years to understand how to make your dishes fit within your dishwasher. We just moved and nothing was working so I did something that I did not want to do--pay attention to the lower rack and figure out why it had a mind of its own. Well, the Bosch interior is filled with adjustable (that usually means problems) fingers. Well, it was not so. A piece was missing that supported the "hand" from which the fingers sprang. That support piece cost about a buck and was available and ultimately on my doorstep in a day or three. Take the part out of the bag, snap it on the hand and enjoy dish racks that don't flop around. Awesome indeed.

To replace the part per se was simple. To put everything back in place was more difficult as I took the base of the dishwasher off and a lor of other parts in order to reach for the drain pump. The irony was, after I took appart the base I fount a clip on the internet showing how to do that job and that was a very simple thing, couple of screws to take off the toe plate and the interior liner of the door, to create good access to the drain pump. Really a job of 10 minutes at the max.

Replaced parts

I took out the old filter and replaced it with the filter I had ordered. Very easy and not necessary to call a repairman.

Followed the video on your site and it was an easy install with no more leakage.

First of all, I quessed at what was causing the droning noise. It seemed that it started when the d.w. was draining. I looked at various sites to try and figure out what was causing the noise but they all wanted money up front before they would discuss the problem. I gambled that it was the drain pump figuring that, oh well at least it's a part I won't have to replace in the future. I got lucky, the noise stopped with the part I bought. The only issues were the wiring harnesss wasn't the same as in the video I used. Overall, your service was very good. The thing I'm disappointed with is the fact that my expensive Bosch d.w. had to be repaired.

Replaced ‘sump’ housing , seal was leaking on it- replaced inop float on water level warning system switch, and switch itself as well- replaced drain pump motor attached to sump- replaced o-ring seal at water sprayer inlet valve- replaced water inlet plastic assemble on side of dishwasher- replaced drain hose out of sump assembly.

Used YouTube video to understand repair- this is an involved repair in time and complexity- dishwasher eventually gets turned upside down once removed and stripped down, to remove the white plastic water pan , which then allows access to the guts of all the above parts- some critical seals only come with new assemblies, so you are buying that new part to get a new seal and ensure no new leaks from what you took apart.

Everything went great installing the new drain pump. Our dishwasher works like it’s brand new again. I would recommend part select to anyone that needs to repair their dishwasher parts or any applications parts.

I snapped the part in and voila!

Unscrewed the old piece screwed in the new

shut off water, pull dishwasher out, took side insulation off, unhooked what was connected to the float switch and replaced the new with the old. Reconnected everything and put insulation back and wa-la , all done

The video pretty much showed it all except...if you have a custom panel on the front like ours did. In that case, yiu have to remove the torx screws along the top PLUS to extras in the side of the part that protrudes into the tub of the washer. Those two are key to releasing the front panel and are also held in with fairly flimsy spring steel so be careful. Otherwise, pretty easy to do.
