Bosch Classixx – Check Water problem

[Sheila G]

• Bought an old Bosch Classixx dishwasher second hand which was working. No SPS40C12GB/14 / FD 9308
  Only just got around to connecting it and am getting a Check Water signal – it’s a sold light, not flashing.

  1. Water pressure ok – more than 10 litres per minute
  2. No kinks in hose
  3. Cleaned and double checked filters in machine and in the hose
  The only part I have been unable to check as I can’t see any way to remove it, is the hose at the base which connects to the water tap – photo added

  Machine appears to fill with water ok although not much sign of water on top rack but it then drains quite quickly into the bucket (not yet connected to sink).

Spoke to water board about hardness of water and adjusted that
Spoke to Bosch and they said water pressure but definitely not that
I feel I am missing something?

look up part no 611317

this counts the water in and they go faulty after a time

you machine built aug 13 so could well be the fault or a bad connection to it

Thanks for response, Have had a look at the part and it appears that it can be fitted by removing the left panel.
It does seem strange that I have not used it but when bought was working perfectly.
Found this link on Youtube and I can see what should happen but it’s not moving https://youtu.be/vp7nzO-XCwk?si=ocXhCFERuhJxJ8hf

they can go a bit iffy like works then doesnt try taking side off then remove connector and replace twice. if its a bad connection that will fix it

Dave

[Sheila G]

when you say replace twice do you mean take it out, switch on then switch off and take it in and out again? Thank you

[electrofix]

find switch
unplug the wire connection and replace then unplug again and replace. your not taking switch out of the frame just unplugging the wire

from memory as i cant find pics

the lid slides back and lifts off. there are 2 plastic clips that have to be unlatched to allow it to move

once the lid is off there are 2 screws at the front of the side then the side unclips and comes off

Dave

[electrofix]

clips have to be pushed up to unlock

cant see photos

if they are too big for the site host elsewhere and post public link

Dave

[electrofix]

part your after is here

carefully bend open cover and unplug and replug wire twice

Dave

[Sheila G]

Thanks Do I need to replace side panel before I test again?

[electrofix]

no you can leave it off

Dave

[electrofix]

ok the fact that the water light is flashing means its not a water problem

the problem on this machine is it could be anything as this unit does not have fault codes for everthing

assume its making no noises when the light flashes as it just aborts the programme

Dave

[electrofix]

ok try this

tilt the machine back slowly till it reaches about 45 degrees

what i am hoping is its the anti flood switch and there is water in the base. do it slowly as you dont want the water sloshing about all over things that matter

if you get a puddle on the floor your on the right track

if yes 2 possibilities

1 its having a bad day and wont do it again for a while

2 there is a leak which would have to be found to stop it re-occurring

Dave

[electrofix]

ok that means if you change the little board your pulling the plug off it might fix it

pat no 611317 its less then £20 so its up to you if its worth a gamble
