    Hi,

    I have had this problem with my Bosch SGS53A02GB/27 for ages now.. the lower half does not wash. I’m pretty sure the lower bar does not spin or jet water at all.

    Some time ago, I noticed a small amount of plastic – almost like a plastic carrier bag – hanging out of one of the water nozzles. When I pulled on this, a large amount of plastic came out, so I think that’s what broke it. I bought a replacement arm off EBay, but no joy.

    Thoughts?

    TIA,
    JJ

    The probable cause of your fault is a failure of the diverter motor in the heater assembly. This litttle motor switches approx every 60secs or so , alternating the water between the top and bottom spray arms.

    It is not really a DIY job to replace as you will need to replace the complete water heater assembly and this quite a complicated , involved job.

    There is also the chance that it may have blown a component on the main control PCB.

    If you really want confirmation , you might need to call an engineer out .

    Ah, ok.. The dishwasher is quite a few years old, and is starting to show its age now, so maybe it’s time for a replacement.

    Thanks for the reply.
