Bosch Dishwasher won't fill
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 though. I disconnected the hose from the dishwasher to verify that water 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 house we bought...) Any suggestions other than calling a repair person? -betty |

If you can verify that the water to the machine is on and flowing, beyond that it could be a fill solenoid or any number of things that would be hard to diagnose. There may also be a strainer in the fill line, which could be clogged. If you do check for it, kill the power to the machine first. |

I used him for..... a dishwasher problem! Can't for the life of me remember what the part was, I believe a solenoid. Anyways, he responded for a problem with a Maytag, beat my local dealers price, and was correct on the diagnosis. My dishwasher was not filling, your problem sounds similar! You can use the trouble shooter guide. And, unless he changed his ways, he will respond to your email. Give him a day or so to respond. I'm not associated in anyway with the site, some of the older Usenet people on here probably remember his name. http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/RepairHelp.aspx |

If trouble shooting is beyond your capabilty, jsut order a new valve & swap it out cheers Bob |

I just had to replace the switch (a $14 component) on my parents' dishwasher after it ended up arcing and burning out. BTW, the official repair guy quoted them about $400 and wanted to replace the inlet valve and the main motor... 5) Too much suds (causing the float switch not to operate properly) 6) Other reasons...
