How on earth have you managed to dislodge the motor Mike just by twisting the pump out?

Anyway be that as it may, to fully access the motor as well as all the other components in the base, use the following procedure…..

Remove outer door panel, top and side panels. Remove salt cap and unscrew the locking collar. Remove filters to access and remove 4 torx screws holding tub, remove screws and loosen top spray from sump. Drain off excess water in sump and salt container to prevent spillages.

Disconnect water matrix on L/H/side away from the tub. Unhook door cord nylon bushes off both door hinges, then with a narrow bladed screwdriver placed under the small nylon latches of the door hinge bearing, gently ease the door off the nylon bearing and lay door on the ground.

Next, remove the 2 torx screws that hold the tub to the plastic base at the back and the 2 torz screws holding the tub on the front hinge brackets. Then carefully lift the tub off the base and clear. The sump and heater box can now be fully accessed. The heater box is held in place with 2 torz screws under the sump and unhooking the motor mount and the drain hose will give improved access.

On re-assembly be sure to remember to use a jubilee clip to secure the rubber sleeve to the motor! Carefully inspect the tub for any damage before refitting and double check the the salt container rubber gasket is in place and clean before lowering the tub back in place. I find it also helps to lightly smear the black sump gasket with soap solution to ensure the tub easily relocates onto it squarely.

Reassembly is straight forward enough but do take care to relocate the bottom door seal onto the tub lip before fitting the outer door panel!

Enjoy! 🙂

Get away with ya! 😛

They are a piece of pee to sort…the info is there before you anyway, step by step stuff…not a problem and what’s more…a nice little earner my friend 😉

Give it a go, tell me I’m wrong…. 8)

We’re all gonna have to be more flexible in what we take on phidom. Gone are the days when we could all wander about popping in hotpoint carbs,door boots & the like..

No, our future is integrated dishwashers, 😯 : fan ovens, and all the other stuff the punter regards as a hassle to replace, nothing stays the same, its getting a tough game in which to make a buck compared to the old days though 😥

I had several ways of doing these. My favourite was to turn the machine upside down and take the base off. Martin’s method is the quickest, easiest, cleanest and safest way to do it. Once you’ve done a couple, it’s an hour to strip and re-assemble.

Slow leaks eh? :rolls: Incontinent Bosch Syndrome it’s called! (Or IBS for short)8)

The easiest check is the water inlet/pressure switch matrix. If the transfer pipe to the tub is restricted at all, chances are it will spill a drip or two over the top of the pressure chamber and into the base. Failing that then it will involve strip down for a closer look.

Usual suspects are: –

Circulating pump shaft seal.
Circulating pump ‘O’ ring.
Water Point mechanism (if fitted on model)
Salt container gasket.
Corrosion holes in S/Steel tank (usually in the corner-edges of the fine filter recess)
Perished or dislodged bottom door seal.
Bottom Spray Arm not fully clipped together (plastic latches)

Also: A point to consider is the vent hose on the r’hand side. If the customer/users are in the regular habit of switching the machine off mid-cycle to open the door and take stuff in or out, then close the door and restart the programme? Then water shoots up the pipe and onto the base :rolls:

HTH? 😀

Have had a clean water leak from the inlet valve stalk that the solenoid sits on not screwed in tight into body. 1 drip every few mins. longnose pliers sorted it. 3 wks to antiflood to reappear. HTH.

LOL well done superfix!! I think they must like to make a very easy job into somthing more difficult. You can change a wash pump on a freestending dishwasher in less than 25mins, start to finish. Why mess around taking the base off?
