Bosch SGS45E08GB – Help

[FernWood]

Hi All,

I have a problem with my Bosch Dishwasher – I have switched it on today and the program runs from 130 mins to 128 mins but does not appear to be doing anything, and when I opened the door the base was full of water.

Does anyone have any ideas please on what I should check first?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have read some of the posts on here, and decided to have a go myself. I have managed to open the case and have a look, and the pressure chamber was full of gunk, including the hose that runs from that to under the dishwasher.

I have emptied the dishwasher out, cleaned the hoses and pressure chamber and reconnected, but while the machine starts the cycle it only runs to 36 mins and wont empty.

Apart from taking the pump cover off and checking the impeller (I am guessing this the little water paddle under the compartment where you remove the torx screw), and checking the connection to under the sink is there anything else I could try.

I have read someone mention a one way valve or rubber flap, but I am not sure what this really is? I have also noticed that in the long plastic chamber on the LHS of the machine, there is water about half way up the 1st tube – might this suggest a blockage?

I have also tried a reset and cannot hear the pump trying to drain, but this may be that it is not engaging due to some other reason that the pump being broke?

Check that the pump impellor flicks round with your finger-sometime it can get stuck with say a bit of sweetcorn or piece of glass.

There should be a reassuring flick every quarter turn or so -if not then the pump is likely duff.
The one way filter is at the back left of the sump -you should see it as a small black (or sometimes white)
line of rubber a couple of cms long -this can be pulled up vertically with a pair of pliers.

If you then disconnect the waste hose that connects to the matrix you can
(with care) blow throw this to clear any blockage back into the sump housing.

From memory the other pipe should have a water level as it syphons over when filling.

Good luck I am sure you will sort it out!

I am sure you will take care and pull the plug out before doing any of this!
