Dishwasher leak
I have tracked down the source of a significant leak in my 12 year old
Bosch dishwasher. There's a worn O ring on the water inlet side of things. It's a fairly chunky O ring about 2 cms wide. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/EzcAA...7j/s-l1600.jpg Bosch still sell these, but annoyingly they charge around £25 for a set of 4. I don't think it's possible to silicone the joint. Any other suggestions? The machine has been used once or twice a day for 12 years, and I was happily contemplating a new Bosch to replace it, but the price of this simple spare has put me off. |

Have you tried http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/? If they don't have one in their shop you may find that if you ask a question on the relevant forum you get suggestions - or someone* willing to sell you one for a better price. *it did occur to me I might be able to make a quick profit as a middle man but the only one I found at first blush was for Smegs and might not fit as you didn't give your precise model number. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

SGI45E15GB/29 FD8801 I've spoken to a couple of o ring manufacturers, who offered to manufacture them for me, but unsurprisingly at considerable cost. |

Why don't you think siliconing is possible? Obviously the right sort of ring is a better fix but for an "end of life" machine I would not rule out a bodge. |

Do an Internet search for a local bearing and seal supply company, ring them with the measurement of the seal and see if they might be able to match it. If they can, they will be just pence each. |

Looks similar to the one I needed to replace on a Miele of similar age - probably in a similar application where a solenoid valve connected to the water softener mixer tank. Part was about 4 Euro from ebay, but I was able to effect a temporary repair with some PTFE tape wound round the shaft of the valve to make it a tighter fit: http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...e_G645_SC_Plus You can get these for a similar price: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/O-Ring-Mi...AOSwGzlTuYk 6 However I don't have the exact dimensions to hand to say if it will fit yours, but do recall the inner diameter was 10mm -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

You wanna look at the price of the spare combined pump and water heater and you had better sit down before you do that. I love my Bosch dishwasher but I dunno if I would ever buy one new .I got mine for peanuts at a garage sale from some fool that did a full kitchen reno and found it didnt match the new stuff. |

I haven't worked out why the o ring shrank in the first place. There are four of them, and only one has shrunk. The bodge seems to be working, so I've put the machine back in place and levelled it. I'll just see whether there is any water leaking in normal use. I've taken the opportunity to drill a 2mm hole in the sump. That'll let small quantities of water drip out slowly but still stop it if there's a significant flood. Asking around various o ring stockists, this is a specialist size. So, if I need one, I'll probably just have to pay the Bosch prices. There's a guy offering a set on ebay for the knock down price of only £11. http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...e_G645_SC_Plus You can see the o rings in the picture captioned "Have a bucket ready ...." You can get these for a similar price: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/O-Ring-Mi...AOSwGzlTuYk 6 However I don't have the exact dimensions to hand to say if it will fit yours, but do recall the inner diameter was 10mm |
