SHX68T52UC Bosch Dishwasher - Instructions

The installation of the door springs was easier than I thought it would be. The Springs themselves included an extra metal tab, which made it so they could slip into the dishwasher body, without the need for additional plastic pieces, like the original springs. This was ideal because the way in which the spring plastic end broke would have made replacement very difficult. That said, the video instructions for our model dishwasher were inaccurate. There was no way to disconnect the power and water, as indicated in the video. This did make me think twice before pulling the dishwasher out. Luckily the electrical and water connections were long enough such that we could slide the dishwasher out to repair the springs. Also, fortunately, we didn't have to slide it out as far as was indicated in the video. Connecting the ropes was a little tricky, but by attaching the rope to the spring and pulling the rope with a pliers to extend the spring, this allowed me to hook the clip on the door. All in all, the process was easy. It just would have been better if the video actually reflected the work,

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Dishwasher panel unresponsive when pressed. Check electricity and power was going to unit. Dishwasher had successfully performed last washing cycle (no mechanical issues) so focused on Operating Module that is located at top of door panel (concealed when door is closed), This is an easy repair if you take your time and gently remove the components. First, unplug the unit or shut power off at the circuit. Open the door fully, and place a pad or blanket under the door as you will be removing the front dishwasher panel (this unit is stainless steel).

There are phillips head screws around the perimeter of the interior door panel, two sizes (keep track as you remove for reinstallation purposes). You will want to remove the bottom screws first, and when you get to the top of the door panel screws, support the exterior door panel with an assistant or your off-hand. Once all screws are out, the panel should be easily removed. You can now access the Operating Module.

The Operating Module is connected to the dishwater motor via the Cable Harness. The Cable Harness is connected to the Operating Module by two plugs. Disconnect the Cable Harness by depressing the outer area of the plugs, you do not need any tools. Once these are disconnected, notice how the wiring is is routed (take a picture) and you can remove if you are also replacing the Cable Harness (I ordered just in case but did not have to).

The Operating Module is held in place by a number of plastic clips, that when depressed, will release the unit. You may need something to depress the clips (standard screwdriver) but be careful to take your time to do not force. My unit is 8 years old, and the plastic is more fragile now and these are easy to break. After trial and error, I actually started in the middle of the Module and the worked to the outside of each end to remove it. Reinstalling is a breeze (as long as you don't break the plastic clips), follow your steps in reverse. Allow 45 minutes for the whole process, but take whatever time is necessary. Much cheaper than a new dishwasher. Good Luck!

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.

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