Bosch SGS45E08GB Dishwasher not finishing or restarting

Hi, my dishwasher fails to finish it’s cycle and stop, it will not even spray any water when in cycle. Pumps ok though.

Re: Bosch SGS45E08GB Dishwasher not finishing or restarting

Cycle will not complete if no heat; there is a pressure switch in the heater box which needs circulation to allow the heater to activate. Therefore you need to look at the motor – it may be jammed or the start/run capacitor may have failed.

Remove r/h side panel for access – power off first.

Are these visible after removing the panel?

Circulation motor is the square metal casing with the fan in the end. If turned manually, it should feel “heavy” but smooth running, in which case the capacitor is the most likely culprit. If it won’t move, you have a bigger problem.

Peanut how long have you had the d/w, and how hard have you used it because its not an “old” model. I only ask out of interest because ive been doing a quite a few circulation-motor impeller replacements lately on a batch of 4-8 year old boschs and neffs :S
