    Guys,
    It’s my daughter’s birthday party on Sunday so I need a fix or I’ll be washing up ’til Tuesday!

    My Bosch dishwasher won’t fill. (But it does pump dirty water away without a problem).

    I read the previous posts on this topic and got it going (temporarily) by disconnecting the water supply. That no longer works as a fix.

    From reading Martin’s posts, I guess it may be the “water meter tank to sump” hose being bunged up. But, where do I find this hose? What do I remove to uncover it? And (purely out of interest) what does it do?

    Yours in hope

    Joe

    Joe,
    This is a 12 year old machine and the thread you have read is not directly relevant to your appliance.
    Most likely cause of your problem IS a blockage in an internal transfer hose. You need to remove the undertray (if fitted) and the left hand (from the front) side panel. There is a large plastic matrix on the left side, and a black hose coming off the bottom of it, running to the centre underside of the sump moulding. This is a so and so for sludging up and preventing proper filling. Remove and clean. It can also activate the pressure shut off on the inlet valve.

    Other possibilities are inlet valve failure and broken wires in the door panel.

    PULL THE PLUG BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!

    Regards,

    Thank you!!!!

    Penguin, Thank you so much.
    😀
    The machine is purring away like new. The innards were exactly as you described and the fix took a few minutes.

    There was some water sloshing in the undertray though … it seemed to come in while the machine was filling again. Any tips would be appreciated, though I feel I’m already enough in your debt.

    Now that I know the old tub has life in it, I’ll call a UWG registered engineer to give her a service anyway.

    Thank you again.

    Joey 🙂 😀

    Joey,
    the water in the undertray may well be from backing up in the fill matrix – because the hose was blocked.

    If you look in the Directories section for your postcode area you may well find a local UKW engineer, either that or stick it up in here and someone will pick up on it.

    Glad to be of help, enjoy the party.

    Regards,
    Penguin 45.
