SHE68T52UC Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

I disconnected the water, power, brackets, and drain and then slid out the washer. Replacing the springs and related cords is easy in and of itself. Common sense will tell you how to do it once you see it. Each spring comes with a metal retainer(?) which has to be removed prior to installation. Why it is there is a mystery. The old spring does not have it, and the new "Cord" will not attach to the old spring so you have to replace it to fit the new "Cord." I also took the opportunity to replace the water line and valve.

The disappointment came with one of the springs. One end of each spring is held in place by the plastic side frame, which in one case was in the process of disintegration or perhaps damaged in original manufacture. In any event, the plastic let-go and the new spring shot forward into the "Guide" (part 0528) and broke it in two. I have ordered new "Guides" but I will have to fabricate some way to attach the spring to the plastic frame. I hope you don't have to go through that. So be very careful replacing the springs.

Watched the short video on replacing the springs. each side only took a couple of minutes to replace once the dishwasher was pulled out from the cabinet. I was lucky and had ample slack in the electric, water supply, and drain line.

removed machine so left side water drain matrix was accessible, replaced that unit, reinstalled machine to its built-in location.

I watch utube to assess the problem then took eveything apart and saw the build up on the filter, which i had never cleaned. I tried to clean it but was unsuccessful so order the filter from partselect and it came within a couple of days, installed very easily and began to clean as it always had.

popped off old spray arm from under the rack and put on new spray arm,
couldn't be any easier, 5 minute job, door closes easily now!

have had same problem many times under extended warranty pump was changed by factory and installed wrong it was jammed in so take out there is a realest lever and twist clockwise install buy twisting counter clockwize

After researching YouTube, I figured out the problem was the left side of the door was dropping. Took some screws out where the dishwasher was attached to the counter and cabinets. It took a bit to pull the dishwasher out but when done, the fix was easy. Reverse the process, make sure there’s power and hoses are back.

Replacement was fast and very simple. Was completed in less than 5 minutes.

Really simple. You pull out the drain filter plate and pull the filter off the support and replace. I gave everything a good cleaning and put it back in place.

Followed the video on your site and it was an easy install with no more leakage.

Fairly easy repair, with the hardest part getting the appliance out of the cabinet. Kill the power and get the dishwasher out. Once out, the water inlet assembly (a large, white, opaque plastic box) is on the left side of the dishwasher, exposed and surrounded by the sound insulation. Pull back the insulation and use pliers to disconnect the small, white water inlet tube (hard to remove, you may need to pry a bit with a flathead screwdriver). Once that's off, look on the back left of the dishwasher for the valve access, which is mounted on a plastic snap-in tab. It was easiest to snap this out by reaching into the dishwasher from the side and squeezing the tab on the assembly with my fingers. Once it's out, remove the electrical connection from the old valve access by squeezing the tab. Unscrew the incoming water hose (from water service), and squeeze the clamp to remove the smaller white hose. Then go in reverse to reassemble: connect the white hose to the valve access and clamp. Connect the water service (make sure the threads take and it's solidly hand-tightened). Connect the small electrical plug. Snap the panel back into the back of the dishwasher. Connect the small white hose back to the water inlet assembly on the left side of the dishwasher and clamp. Test if you can, then put insulation and appliance back in. This totally eliminated my E17 errors.

Turned off power and water supply. Pulled dishwasher out. Disconnected the water inlet from the back left side. Swapped out the inlet valve. Wiped up the water in the bottom pan. Put dishwasher back and turned on water and power. Simple.

Followed the instructions that came with the spring repair kit

We followed the video and had no problems with leaks at all afterwards. The parts fit perfectly and the machine is working great again.
