SHX5ER55UC/87 Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

The repair was extremely simple. Just lined up and popped them on. No tools needed.

Really simple. You pull out the drain filter plate and pull the filter off the support and replace. I gave everything a good cleaning and put it back in place.

This is a piece of cake. No tools are actually needed. Grasp one end of the old seal and gently pull it out of the groove in which is fits. Take the new seal, and paying attention to which way around it fits (there is a right and wrong way!) start at either end. Leave an inch or so beyond the groove to rest on the bottom of the dishwasher, and press the seal in place in the groove. You should have an inch or so left at the far end. Go back and go all along the seal and make sure it is pressed evenly and completely into the groove the full length.

You're done.

as per youtube repair

Note: The diagram and part description misled me to think that each item was a quantity of one, so I ordered two since I wanted to replace the part on each side of the door. In fact, both the cable repair kit and the guide came with a quantity of two, so have an extra set that I will likely never need. As far as the replacement, it was quick and easy. The hardest part was pulling the dishwasher out from under the cabinet.

I bought replacement wheels.
I put them on the post, and they snapped onto the vertical post very easily. Job done.

Followed the instructions that came with the spring repair kit

After researching YouTube, I figured out the problem was the left side of the door was dropping. Took some screws out where the dishwasher was attached to the counter and cabinets. It took a bit to pull the dishwasher out but when done, the fix was easy. Reverse the process, make sure there’s power and hoses are back.

The instructions stated to remove the door. I spent an hour attempting to remove the door. That was an unnecessary instruction. all else worked as described. Springs were easy to install. The attachment to the door was difficult. Better instructions on how to grasp the connection to spread the spring to give the cable enough slack to attach the connection to the door.

Popped the new one right on!

Followed the directions on a YouTube video. Easy repair

First - I watched 2 or 3 videos on how it was done. The operation was not as easy as the videos made it out to be. Removal of the old unit was straight forward using 6 coins as shims to spread open the metal clips that hold the unit in place was essential. One issue not covered well in the videos is supporting the control panel after it was removed. the wires hang and are supporting the panel which is not good. I used a bunch of masking tape to secure the control panel to the top of the door. Also - installing the new unit can really only be done by first, fully engaging the top of the dispenser and then forcibly "pushing" (I used a rubber mallet) the bottom into place. you need to make sure the clips are locked in on all sides. After the dispenser is in place and the wiring harness has been reattached, you need to tape the wiring onto the door to keep them out of the way. I then very loosely reattached the control unit by the top 2 screws. I then lowered to the door flat and weighted it down. I used a clamp on each side of the door to lift the cover up into place unit until it could screwed. and then jimmied the control panel into place
