BOSCH SGS 5002 GB fuse blows

Re: BOSCH SGS 5002 GB fuse blows

Thanks for responding.
It’s the 13A fuse in the dishwasher plug that blows. I didn’t originally say that the water temperature appears to have risen before the fuse blows.
Any ideas what I can check to see what and where the line and neutral short might be?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Because the fuse blew at about the time I reckoned the detergent dispenser operated, I thought Simon46’s suggestion fitted the symptoms (and the easiest to test out first). So I disconnected the solenoid and ran the washer for two full cycles. It seems that’s the problem, so I need a replacement detergent dispenser assembly.

I’ve got a three more (probably silly) queries if anyone can answer them and put my mind at rest, please.

Here’s the full set of numbers on the door:
SGS5002GB/07
FD 7709 600306
SGS5002GB 0 730 102 380

1) Two nylon castings that look a bit like hair clipper combs (about 2 in cubed) fell out when I took the door front off. Anyone know where they go? The rinse-aid reservoir seems to have been leaking. Would the castings have anything to do with that?

2) There’s something that looks like a temperature sensor clipped to the top of the dispenser box. It’s held against the metal of the door’s interior stainless steel lining but with some metalised grease between the sensor and the door’s interior. What’s this grease and can I re-use what’s already there.

3) There’s a square “pipe” leading from the detergent side of the dispenser down to the bottom corner of the door. What does this do and is it easy to re-fit to a new dispenser assembly?

Thanks everyone for the help already given
