SHS5AVF6UC Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

pushed with thumb pressure and snapped rollers into place.....EASY

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.

Remove the dishwasher from under the counter. Remove door springs. On the inside of the lip of the door remove the 6 screws that hold the outer door panel on, and remove panel. this will expose hinge screws. Remove the two screws per side holding the inner door to the hinge assembly. Take pictures of the way the gasket's grey plastic end cap assembles between the inner door frame and the hinge, and remove the inner door. The old gasket has a channel lip that sits on the plastic edge of the washer tub, pull it off this lip and discard. Install new gasket and put it all back together! Use this opportunity to clean the gunk out of the upper door seals.

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.

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

easy repair, but the check valve wasn't the problem, it was the float switch that isn't on the tech sheet in the dishwasher or mentioned as a possible culprit anywhere I could find on the internet

There were 5 rollers still in place so I used them to show me how to snap the replacement roller in place.

replacing the control unit was fairly simple, just pop the old one out and plug in the new one, 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!

The repair was extremely simple. Just lined up and popped them on. No tools needed.

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

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.

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.

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
