SHX68T55UC Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

removed machine so left side water drain matrix was accessible, replaced that unit, reinstalled machine to its built-in location.

I disconnected the water, power, brackets, and drain and then slid out the washer. Replacing the springs and related cords is easy in and of itself. Common sense will tell you how to do it once you see it. Each spring comes with a metal retainer(?) which has to be removed prior to installation. Why it is there is a mystery. The old spring does not have it, and the new "Cord" will not attach to the old spring so you have to replace it to fit the new "Cord." I also took the opportunity to replace the water line and valve.

The disappointment came with one of the springs. One end of each spring is held in place by the plastic side frame, which in one case was in the process of disintegration or perhaps damaged in original manufacture. In any event, the plastic let-go and the new spring shot forward into the "Guide" (part 0528) and broke it in two. I have ordered new "Guides" but I will have to fabricate some way to attach the spring to the plastic frame. I hope you don't have to go through that. So be very careful replacing the springs.

Initially, I received an E15 error. I evaluated for leaks but couldn't find anything except for water in the bottom of the dishwasher after about 30 minutes of the initial cycle. After discovering the hole in the flow tub, I order the part. It came a few days later & replace the part within a 15 minutes of receiving it. I didn't think it would resolve the issue but it did. Thank you!

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.

To remove the old cutlery drawer I had to pull the old drawer forward and work the rollers over the stops at the end of the permanently installed slides. To install the new cutlery drawer, I reversed the procedure and worked the rollers on the new drawer over the slide stops and seat the new basket. No tools were required.

As for the crockery baskets, the larger lower basket was very simple. Roll it forward onto the door and lift it out. To install the new basket reverse the procedure. Place the new basket on the door and slide it in on its rollers.

For the upper crockery basket the procedure is more complex. The retaining mechanisms for the upper basket appear to be very complet as they have a number of moving parts intricately engineered. With a little study, it become apparent releasing the locks and levers which keep the basket from rolling out and falling to the floor are well designed to both secure the basket and to remove. Each anchoring mechanism has a lever at the base and by depressing the lever it releases the basket so it can be rolled forward over the stops at the end of the slides. Some manual dexterity is required to maintain pressure on the mechanisms to ensure the basket will be released. The procedure is quickly mastered with a few attempts. The good thing is again no tools are required.

My new tray and baskets are working fine and it is a relief to have the old rusting and deteriorating tray and basket replaced. This is true for both safeguarding the crockery and cutlery form rust and chemical of deteriorating plastics, rusting metal, and bonding agents. More important, I am sure replacing the old deteriorating baskets and tray guards against any potential health issues.

Easily removed the old one by carefully pulling it and repeated this procedure to replace it. Total time took less than 15 minutes

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.

Followed the instructions that came with the spring repair kit

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

as per youtube repair

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.

Dishwasher panel unresponsive when pressed. Check electricity and power was going to unit. Dishwasher had successfully performed last washing cycle (no mechanical issues) so focused on Operating Module that is located at top of door panel (concealed when door is closed), This is an easy repair if you take your time and gently remove the components. First, unplug the unit or shut power off at the circuit. Open the door fully, and place a pad or blanket under the door as you will be removing the front dishwasher panel (this unit is stainless steel).

There are phillips head screws around the perimeter of the interior door panel, two sizes (keep track as you remove for reinstallation purposes). You will want to remove the bottom screws first, and when you get to the top of the door panel screws, support the exterior door panel with an assistant or your off-hand. Once all screws are out, the panel should be easily removed. You can now access the Operating Module.

The Operating Module is connected to the dishwater motor via the Cable Harness. The Cable Harness is connected to the Operating Module by two plugs. Disconnect the Cable Harness by depressing the outer area of the plugs, you do not need any tools. Once these are disconnected, notice how the wiring is is routed (take a picture) and you can remove if you are also replacing the Cable Harness (I ordered just in case but did not have to).

The Operating Module is held in place by a number of plastic clips, that when depressed, will release the unit. You may need something to depress the clips (standard screwdriver) but be careful to take your time to do not force. My unit is 8 years old, and the plastic is more fragile now and these are easy to break. After trial and error, I actually started in the middle of the Module and the worked to the outside of each end to remove it. Reinstalling is a breeze (as long as you don't break the plastic clips), follow your steps in reverse. Allow 45 minutes for the whole process, but take whatever time is necessary. Much cheaper than a new dishwasher. Good Luck!

They just snap in

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.
