BOSCH SGS45E08GB Cycle problem and no heat

[docurley]

Ok I have tried to find my problem by hunting through the threads but can not get a conclusive answer.

I have taken the dishwasher apart twice now after reading issues and possible answers anyways hers what’s happening.

It will do the wash cycle but does not heat the water and will go on and on and on till if finally finishes but with out drying.

I have checked the pipes and all is clean including the waste pipe.
I also checked the control module to see if the board had burnt out and all seems good so based on what I have read could it be the heater element which is causing this and if so how can I get to it and does anybody have any ideas on cost of the part if this looks to be the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help

AS you look at the machine,after unplugging,take off the rh side panel.
heater sits down encased in a plastic unit which comes complete and will cost getting on for £100.
You need a meter to establish if the heater is open circuit ie kaput.
If this is the case you have your answer,if not it could be due to poor circulation and mostly a corrugated tube across the bottom front lh side can be pulled out and is ofte full of gack,all filters should be clean too.
The machine requires good water circulation to engage a pressure type switch which will then allow the heater on.

I will check it out tonight but if it ithe heater s not sure it worth saving at £100 even if it dose look like new.

new bosch d/w are pretty expensive now.

While your down there it might be worth giving it a service and rep the main seal if its over 5yrs old as they have a tendancy to leak onto the circulation motor and killing bosch dw
