DW244UB Thermador Dishwasher - Instructions

Watched a 5 min YouTube video and followed directions. Could not have performed the project without the video help. Had to remove dishwasher from under the counter to remove door from dishwasher. Glad I could perform task, would have been a costly repair. One appliance repair company would not do the job.

With the help of You Tube, this 50 year old Mom got the job done. Not that complicated if you watch the step by step instructions on the Appliance Pro video. My repairman and husband were both determined to just buy a new one but this 20 year old dishwashing genius was just in need of a little repair. Only need a screwdriver, and slightly confusing as wires hook on a little different on new pumps. I suggest watching video the whole way through and then playing it step by step as you do the repair. Worked great for me. Thanks.

I used a wet vac to remove the water from the dishwasher. remove cover and filter/strainer from bottom of dishwasher. remove screw which allows you to lift the plastic piece to access check valve. Original check valve looked like new , I installed new check valve re installed parts . Job done and issue resolved .

Turn off power to unit!
-Remove kick panel,2 screws.
-remove water valve, 2 screws, 3 electrical connections, 1 hose clamp.
-Remove elbow from old valve and install on the new valve ( use teflon pipe tape)
-replace valve, hose & hose clamp, electrical connectors and water supply line.
Scew unit in place ,2 screws.
Check for leaks then replace kick panel, 2 screws.

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.

REMOVED DISHWASHER FROM CABINET. DETACHED BASE FROM BODY OF THE DISHWASHER. INSTALLED NEW CORD, REATTACHED BASE TO BODY OF DISHWASHER AND REINSTALLED IN CABINET. OPINION: THIS IS A LENGTHY REPAIR AND UNNECESSARY ONE. THE CORD IS PART OF THE DOOR COUNTERWEIGHT AND SUBJECT TO TENSION EVERY TIME THE DOOR IS OPENED, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL CHAFFING DUE TO PROXIMITY TO VARIOUS METAL PARTS, AND VIBRATION. THE CORD SHOULD BE MADE OF STRONGER MATERIAL AND ARMORED OR ALLOWED MORE CLEARANCE. BOSCH SHOULD FIX TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE DISHWASHER.

To replace the part per se was simple. To put everything back in place was more difficult as I took the base of the dishwasher off and a lor of other parts in order to reach for the drain pump. The irony was, after I took appart the base I fount a clip on the internet showing how to do that job and that was a very simple thing, couple of screws to take off the toe plate and the interior liner of the door, to create good access to the drain pump. Really a job of 10 minutes at the max.

First of all, I quessed at what was causing the droning noise. It seemed that it started when the d.w. was draining. I looked at various sites to try and figure out what was causing the noise but they all wanted money up front before they would discuss the problem. I gambled that it was the drain pump figuring that, oh well at least it's a part I won't have to replace in the future. I got lucky, the noise stopped with the part I bought. The only issues were the wiring harnesss wasn't the same as in the video I used. Overall, your service was very good. The thing I'm disappointed with is the fact that my expensive Bosch d.w. had to be repaired.

Use a screwdriver flat blade to pry up one edge of closed lid. Put one side of lid into hinge and snapped other side into place. Very easy.

I have granite countertops and one of the hold down brackets broke to wood cabinet side mount. Easy and fast repair to remove old brackets, pull out dishwasher, and I replaced both brackets with new, and new wood screws. New installation looks better than original done 18 years ago. Very easy to do and saved a lot of money if I had an appliance repair company do it.

Disconnected the water and power, pulled dishwasher out from under the counter, unscrewed the old inlet valve, disconnected hose from exit of inlet valve, noted the placement of the wires and disconnected them. Installed new inlet valve in reverse order and reinstalled dishwasher.

Everything went great installing the new drain pump. Our dishwasher works like it’s brand new again. I would recommend part select to anyone that needs to repair their dishwasher parts or any applications parts.

I snapped the part in and voila!

Dishwasher door won’t stay closed. Upon inspection, the metal striker/catch at the top of the door was broken. This dishwasher is 12 years old and this is the first problem I’ve had with it. To repair the catch, first remove screws holding cover plate at the bottom of the door. Next, remove screws holding the dishwasher stable from under the counter. The pull out the dishwasher to gain access to the catch. You’ll have to take a small set of pliers and bend the two tabs back that hold the catch in place. Lift the catch up and forward to remove. Replace and bend the tabs back to hold the new catch securely. Move the dishwasher back in place and secure with the screws previously removed. Put the cover plate back in place and you’re done.

Use screwdriver to gently wedge the side of the dispenser body apart enough to pop out the old kid, then insert the new kid in it's place.
