BSH Instanteneous Heaters?

[Martin]

As the current tally shows that Bosch, Siemens and Neff dishwashers have a variety of some 20 odd differing heater ‘boxes’ fitted to the various machines in the last 8 years. It is obvious to me at least that in fact they only have just 2 types of heating element fitted throughout this whole mish-mash of models and variants? The two being the larger one that fits the 60cms models and the smaller fitting the 45cms models?

I carry the 2 most common heater boxes on the van but am constantly confounded to find the one I need for a job is not the same as I carry?

I did read yonks back that some guys actually stick elements from new units into old boxes presumably to overcome this very problem? I am beginning to wonder if that possibly is the way forward, after all its only the element that goes as the boxes are usually clean and sound!

The other, less likely alternative is fitting a ‘standard’ heater box that has all the common variant bits bolted to it (i.e Turbidity sensor & water point?… the overheat stat and NTC remain the same throughout). But on that score I think no such variant exists, or does it?

Any thoughts on the subject ?

Re: BSH Instanteneous Heaters?

Martin, I have read on the forum that someone has removed the heater to inspect the element for cause of failure, So would it not be possible for one of the pattern boys to produce an element that could be fitted into the Bosch boxes?. I have had a run of BSH Heater failures lately, And the price of the replacement boxes makes most of the jobs BER.

Since my original post almost a year ago I am still confounded by these darned heater boxes to a point where I no longer carry these on the van. 🙁

Instead I order a replacement whenever a job comes up as there are too many variants that fit the 60cms machines. :rolls:

Yesterday I had one such job only to find when I had the dishwasher in bits spread over the kitchen floor, Bosch had commited a cardinal sin. They had supplied the wrong heater box….!!! 👿

I had no choice but to take out the new element and carefully fit it to the old box, which was just fine but peeed me off nevertheless. This morning I double checked to see if I perhaps had ordered the wrong part, but no, it’s listed wrong for that model on their website….darn them!

I hope you don’t come unstuck as I did so just to clarify it was for a SGS6302GB/07 listed as Part No 263765. In fact the correct unit is Part No 266195. The difference being the former doesn’t have a Turbidity sensor fitted, the latter does. 😉
