SHE3AR75UC (23) Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

This was the third time I replaced a fill valve in a Bosch diswasher, twice in this unit and once in a previous unit. I read the installation hints on your web site and want to add the following suggestion.

The notes on your web site say you can remove the valve from behind the toe face and pull it out to reach the hose and plug. I found that the Bosch designers called for both the hose and wire to on the short side. I found that pulling the dishwasher forward 6" to 9" allows you to access these connections from the side at least to hold them while making the connection. I hope this helps. Thank you, Bill

Turn off water, disconnect power cord, remove front kickplate. Remove 2 screws that hold the water inlet valve, pull it out, disconnect electrical connection, disconnect water supply.. Check the inlet valve with volt-ohm meter for continuity. If it is good, then the valve is stuck shut. The ohm reading should be in the 900-1100 range. Replace valve, installation is the reverse.

disconnected inlet hose and water line from sink, removed old inlet valve and installed new valve and reconnected inlet hose and water line from sink - checked for leaks.

replacing the sensor was simple, just unplug and turn it out, but didn't solve the problem, it's a float sensor that doesn't show up on the tech sheet in the dishwasher or anywhere in troubleshooting on the internet I could find.

This repair was relatively easy and saved us literally hundreds of dollars as well as time...we were looking at 3+ weeks for a technician to come out. And that was just to diagnose. The hardest part was my own lack of experience and getting the dishwasher out because of a poor installation. The best part was identifying and ordering the part from PartSelect. The part came quickly...within 2 days. I had ordered a wrong part previously and they took it back no problem. Very pleased with the whole process and their help videos.

Removed the dishwasher from the cabinet, laid it on its side, removed the old pump/heater, installed the new and reinstalled the dishwasher. What made this a little more difficult is my dishwasher has a bottom to it that would be very difficult to remove, access to the pump is from the side! I have large hands, not much room to work!

Followed instructions from YouTube.

when you receive the drain pump and you are ready to install make sure you put VASELINE around the rubber Gromit that will make putting the drain pump in very easy, also to give yourself more space to remove and install the pump remove the front door panel.
It took me 20 minutes from start to finish

My Bosch dishwasher is approx 11 years old. It was leaving water in the dishwasher pan at end of the cycle.

I replaced the drain pump component, which is accessible by removing the lower front panel. It is not necessary to remove the dishwasher door panel to access the pump, but may help with accessing the pump if you have difficulty getting it to come loose.

On the initial install of the new pump, It wasn't fully seated so it dropped a bit. Make sure the pump is fully inserted (push on it or use a bit of Vaseline on the rubber). Once fully seated it no longer dripped and the dishwasher is now draining properly.

Steps
1. Shutoff power at breaker
2. Remove lower access panel at front of dishwasher
3. Remove filter, drain and retaining clip from tub, empty water from tub with sponge or baster
4. Unplug drain plug wiring connector (small clip on right)
5. Twist old drain pump unit clockwise to remove
the old unit (have a towel ready to catch any water left in the tub)
6. Connect new pump to wiring harness
7. Insert the pump at 2 o'clock position, ensure it is fully seated (see note above).
8. Twist pump counterclockwise until it locks into place. The pump should not wiggle and be firmly connected to the unit.
9. Replace tub clip, drain screen and cover
10. Turn power back on, run cycle to test for operation and leaks
11. Reinstall lower access panel.

Tried the door lock first. Did not fix the problem.

Replaced the drain pump and it fixed the problem.

Parts Select identified the pump as the most frequent problem.

Next time I will order both parts when one is cheap for any repair.

Find Parts Select is very helpful. They have identified a problem with a washing machine in the past.

I will use them for future problems.

Removed old discharge pump and replaced it with the new one. After four attempts the dishwasher worked once. This cycle continued for the next 3 attempts then it stoped all together. Ordered the sensor, installed it snd the dishwasher still doesn’t work! Now what do I do???
