How do you drain the dishwasher without running a cycle?
For model number SHPM78Z55N
PartSelect logo
Hi Jane, thank you for reaching out. To drain the dishwasher manually, put the drain hose in a bucket and set your dishwasher to drain by pressing the drain/cancel/start button for three seconds. Then close the dishwasher door to start it. While the drain tube is in the bucket, shake it to loosen the obstruction. When water comes shooting out, let it continue until it’s fully drained. If the bucket fills up, open the dishwasher door to stop the drain. We hope this helps!

I am also looking for the thin rubber flap that goes from the inside of the front door panel and slides between the kickplate and the underside of the tub. I do not believe it is the part that others are being linked to, I believe it to be INSULATING PART 11050210. It looks like this rubber piece helps to absorb opertaing noise and also wears out easily based on the other questions I'm seeing here.

A prong in the bottom rack had broken nearly through where it attached to the base & was rusting severely. Several other prongs had also started to rust.
The bottom rack of our Bosch dishwasher was discontinued & no longer available anywhere, so we ordered an OEM replacement rack from PartSelect.com & hoped that it would fit.

The new rack fits perfectly & is actually an improvement over the old one. The new rack doesn't have a vase tower, but that is actually a big design improvement because it can store more dishes & is more flexible than the old one. The new rack comes without a handle cover, but it was very easy to move the handle cover from our old rack to the new one.

E:15 error code with Watertap
The E:15 error code means water is detected in the pan under the unit. There are several ways this can happen.

In this case, it was caused by a bad inlet valve. It did not close properly and led to an overflow of water inside that eventually spilled into the pan underneath the unit.

I see now why the pump keeps running after this error. In this case, it would have led to a big flood in the kitchen if it did not.

I was actually able to run the unit while broke by manually operating the valve under our sink that provides water to the unit.

Be sure to turn off breaker before servicing. Don't get shocked!

Be sure to turn off water before starting! Or, you'll have a flood.

Anyway, I just pulled the unit out (was secured by 2 screws on the sides). I lifted up the insulation material on the left side to get at the valve. Pushed a little green tab to release the electrical plug. Then, use pliers to move clamp off the white water hose on the inside. Then, pull of white hose. This was hard in my case. Took a lot of force. Then, reach behind the unit and use pliers to unscrew water hose. Now, the whole gray panel there can pop out with some force. Then, slip the old valve out and slip new one in. Reconnect hoses and clamp. Note that I put some caulk on the connector where white hose goes. Not sure if needed or not.

Good luck!

The middle rack was rusting and some of the pegs were coming off.
Removed the spray arm, front handle, and little clips from the old rack and installed onto the new rack. Was very simple.
