Greetings all. �My 7 year old Bosch SHU3035UC/UC12 stopped filling with
water the other day. �It powers through all the cycles and SOUNDS like its
working, but when I open the door mid-cylce, no water... �It drains fine

is coming out of the hose and no kinks are present. �Not sure what to try
at this point. �No issues with the unit in the past 5 years (came with the

Any suggestions other than calling a repair person? �-betty
Depends on how experienced / handy you are.......
d/w not filling means
1) no water to machine (but you chekced for that)
2) controller (timer) not send power to the water inlet (solenoid
valve)
3) power to solenoid valve but solenoid valve no good
so oyu need to check signal to valve, if valve is getting a signal but
not working �bad valve
my best guess is that the valve is shot. �If trouble shooting is
beyond your capabilty, jsut order a new valve & swap it out
cheers

might be a solenoid valve, but my old bosch had this exact problem:
( thank goodness covered under warranty.
theres a internal set of floats that cant be serviced, they detect all
sorts of water level issues. mine got stuck.
the trouble with bosch EVERYTHING BUT THE fill valve REQUIRES the unit
be totally disassembled for service.
around here no one but sears repairs bosch.
call yourself lucky if its just the fill valve.
try this easy test.
open door pour in pans of water till theres a obvious lake.
shut door.
tell it to empty.
if it doesnt your in for a costly repair. its not the fill vaslve
since you filled it. its a bad pump or bad float control
