Bosch SGS56E02GB/35 – lack of hot water

[jtee]

Hi,

I have a Bosch SGS56E02GB dishwasher which appears to be starved of hot water. We noticed the dishwater getting worse over some time but now although the timer on front panel continues to work the cycle will not progress from Wash. We attempted to use a dishwasher cleaner whereby the seal of the bottle is melted at 60-70 degrees but when removing the bottle the seal was not broken.

Is this a common fault and simple enough to correct?

Thanks.

the heating element on these sits in a surrounding casing, the space between the element and the casing is very small, failure to wipe plates properly causes excess food and grease build up on the element and the element overheats and breaks down, if your model has a solid plastic base the labour will be high as well as the part!
The other fault could be the hose between the fill chamber and sump being blocked and causing the machine to under fill, the heater has an activation switch for water pressure, if the pressure is low then no heat!

To get the job done properly call an engineer!

the sump hose between the water filling chamber on the left handside of d/washer and the sump usually gets blocked also the chamber itself gets blocked bosch have improved this chamber as it is a knows problem. the lack of water sometimes caused the heater to fail due to the heater coming on when there is no enough water in the machine.
i hope this helps.
