Hi there.
We have a 5-6 year old Bosch series 2 Dishwasher that has started making a “groan” and slight vibration that echoes through the house at night. It seems to get higher pitched like working your way up a gearbox then to a lower pitch again. It washes and drains fine apart from that. I have checked the impeller and nothing I can feel.
I would have expected better from Bosch, the previous was a cheap calton from curry’s and lasted similar time
agree but with more cost concious customers quality starts to fall
old bosch dishwashers often saw over 10 years
whats the full Enr and FD number of your machine ?

Its on as we speak so will find these on the sticker. The model is a SMS25EI00G I realised the salt sump was completely empty since we moved in so put, poured a bag in wondering if it was a side effect but made little difference.
You mention old Bosch dishwashers lasting to years, I remember my mum had a 1970s Bosch chest freezer that must have lasted 30 years and a similar vintage AEG Lavamat Princess SL washer. Only replaced due to rust starting to creep in. They may not be as efficient and cost a lot but last generations appliances lasted a lot longer.
“a cheap Calton from curry’s” – God that is going back. The sort of distant past when you could buy a Caravelle brand and Newpol from memory!
“You mention old Bosch dishwashers lasting years” They did, by keeping things fairly simple and using quality parts and designers who were not flogging double glazing the week before. That is how they made their name. All history now as they plumb new depths of stupidity and naffness. AEG SL series were good too. Think you could also get it as a Zanussi and for a time a Hotpoint but might be a DL something or other…..had a ETN timer, I can`t remember too long ago.
“They may not be as efficient and cost a lot but last generations appliances lasted a lot longer”. Welcome to New Improved green appliances….most are utter rubbish and there is very little that is green when they conk out prematurely (and they do) just the same with cr*p Audi cars with “green super low pressure efficient oiling” that screws up the the timing cams and chain and wrecks the engine out of warranty = 7,000 quid repair apparently- and also which idiot put the timing chain at the back of the engine so you have to remove the whole engine to fix the piece of cr*p? Would`ve been better off with a Morris minor (with the gearbox mod) or a Austin Farina A40 hatch back and we all just settle for that: what you lose in greenness is made up by interchangeable parts, easy to work on = on the road for longer = no need to pollute in manufacturing yet more! Do not get me started on Electric cars!
