Bosch Dreaded E15 Fault

[don]

We tried all sorts of repairs on these series 2 machines none of them lasted, even when we used the repair kit. We found in the main the problem was caused by the hot wash option being used all the time. Trouble is once the base warps and leaks that’s it really.

Only time will tell what the current Polyinox base machines are like.

thanks all , what a disgrace that bosch designed these without any foresight , beko it is , i mean surely the hot wash is the bloody point of a dishwasher !

Ill see if i got lucky with cold inlet but doesn’t fill me with hope

Agree, as far as dishwashers go which is not saying much, The Beko or a beko version the simplist the better is the way to go.
“Indeed Andy to be fair my last one lasted 6 years before the heat pump gave way and it just wasn’t worth the hassle and cost of the part , wish i did bother now as at least it didnt leak !” To give you some context the original SMV series from the 1990s would last 25 years without much grief. The SGS series that came after that was less reliable, The SMV AND SMS stuff was /is dreadful….so it spirals down towards the ground like German cars: full of classy gismos that make a car unreliable and expensive to fix, do not get me started on electric cars – complete waste of money!.

Another option on a Beko theme is to go for a Zenith zdw600. This is actually a Beko with a Beko warranty. The model is simple and has no digital display £279.

Agree fully , my mums Bosch is nearly 30 years old and is still running albeit its in a vacation home , have now parked my one to test outside when weather is better and took another machine out of storage AEG FFB41600ZW. Lets hope these are built better but one things for sure no more Bosch products will be bought as they are pants lately will check out Zenith. [h=1][/h]

Don’t let my SGS5312 hear you saying that as it’s just over 23 years old. I’ve done a few repairs in that time – the usual track repair around the heater relay; motor capacitor; bottom door seal; and recently a new inlet valve – but they are all small things and I must say it’s been one of the best value white good purchases I’ve ever made. I’ll be very sad when it does inevitable wear out as I’m rather fond of it.
