Bosch SGS56E02GB – Loud bang!

[Rockford]

I just bought a Bosch SGS56E02GB dishwasher from eBay.
I got it home, ran it to test it. All worked fine.
That is until there was a loud bang and an electrical burning smell… 😯
My first thought was that it sounded like a capacitor exploding.

I took it apart and took the following photos:

And if I’m not much mistaken, the thing marked 282/03 is a capacitor.
The black discolouration seems to be the result of the bang.
Everything else under the machine is in order.

I have a feeling it may have got wet when the machine was transported.

Is the part in the photo easily replaced?
I can’t find a way to remove it from the machine – it appears that it should slide to the centre of the machine, but I can’t find out how to do that.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks,
Andy.

I can’t work out how to edit my post…
I forgot to add that after the bang happened, the machine continued to work as normal and the electric didn’t trip at any point.

Easy, this component is the “mains supressor” & is used to filter out any RF noise being produced by the appliance. So you are correct in that it sounded like a capacitor exploding. The supressor is easily replaced by prizing it of its mounting with a small flat bladed screw driver. Its just a push-fit onto the terminals on the mains-in plate (you will see two little plastic claws holding it place). Costs about a £15.

Excellent. Thank you very much.
After it blew, I turned the dishwasher off and then turned it back on to reset the machine and drain the water.
Will that have done any damage?

Its highly unlikely you have caused any damage. If the mains filter (supressor) fails, at most it only blows the fuse in the plug or trips the ELCB at your fuse box. The dishwasher itself will not be harmed. Replacing the supressor is all that is required. The Bosch part number is 600233.
