Hi all
First post on this forum!I have a Bosch SMS69M18AU/44 dishwasher that we inherited with our current flat.
Recently, it’s started powering-off at intervals in the cycle. The cycle stops, and the display goes blank. It will then “rest” for a while (10-20 minutes?) before starting-up where it left off. It will do it several times in a 2:30hr regular cycle, but the only pattern I’ve noticed is that it always does it about 20 mins from the end.
Things I have checked (with the machine unplugged – obviously):
It’s not tripping any of the domestic power circuits
It’s not the individual power socket (I have tried several)
I have cleaned the filter and the pump
I have checked/cleaned the in-hose water filter
I have checked the door latch (seems to be ok)
I have taken the toe-panel off and checked underneath for a leak – it’s looking clean and dry.The machine seems in really good condition – no leaks, drips or obvious electrical shorts etc. I would love to repair it if economical to do so.
From my reading, it seems that it’s most likely to be the ECU or the control panel – would you agree? Unfortunately I think that this probably puts it outside economical repair.
Is there anything else worth checking before going an buying a new one?
I was wondering if it could be a faulty power connection in the back of the machine (don’t these things have a capacitor that’s prone to failure)? Or might it be overheating (or think it is) before cutting out? This could explain why it comes back on again after a while – so I was wondering about the thermistor?Your thoughts and advice would be gratefully received!

Re: Bosch SMS69M18AU/44 wierdness – repair or replace?
Have you tried the mains plug (kettle type) that mains lead plugs in at the back?

Gah! Thought that had fixed it!
Seems to be a non-standard connector, so I made sure it was plugged in firmly.
Ran a 35 min quick cycle – it switched off 4 mins from the end, paused for 10 mins, then came back on.
Worth me buying a replacement cable? Could it be the power connectors/pins on the back of the unit? Any other ideas?
