Bosch Dishwasher (heater replacement)

[subs]

SGS59A22GB/17 FD8311. Have not replaced the heater on one of these before,looks a bit awkward. Do i have to seperate the plastic base from the cabinet to do this and if so what is the best way to go about it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately that thread Jim gave you referred to a 45cm machine, yours is quite different. 😯

So make a note of the following: –

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! 😉

I think that just about covers it?

All the best

The thread didn’t refer to a 45mm machine, I know “it was me wot done it guv”, Gegsy’s step by step instructions referred to the 45mm machine though. 😉
