Pumping prob on a SGS69A02gb/13
The pumping is fine till it gets to the metering tank but flow is very low on the outlet side I noticed that there is a small chamber on top of the tank which looks blocked but I cant see any way of cleaning it. Also I dont understand why the outlet water has to go through part of the metering tank. I would be gratefull if you could give any advise As I have had this problem befour and never resolved it.Regards

Re: Dear BSH Man
Goose,
The drain side of the fill matrix acts as an air break to prevent syphoning – that’s what the little rubber doofer on the top is for. If the drain water has discouloured the top section, it is backing up due to the blockage – it would normally flow through freely and not get to that height.The matrix will lift out easily enough and can be flushed out. I got caught with one of these a while back where a piece of glass was in the matrix, obstructing it – completely invisible!
Cheers,
Chris.Re: Dear BSH Man
Thanks for the quick replie Chris, This matrix is bigger than the usual one almost the whole depth of the machine but I presume that it does the same job and will give it a blast with a hose
cheers mate

Take care the back of the matrix is only a thin plastic sheet glued over the water ways, when removed from machine it’s very easy to damage, It’s ok when on machine as when clamped to side of tub the tub supports the sheet.
It’s not like the smaller matrix which is a complete moulded chamber.

Thanks for the warning Sparky, As this customer is a bit fussy and stands over you all the time. So the last thing I want to do is is damage something. Would it be possible to drill a small hole in this chamber which seems to be blocked and flush it out and then reseal the hole or would I be better off pricing a new matrix
Cheers

Nothing worse than that . I`m sure this has been discussed before but ask him kindly to go and have a seat and that you`ll give him a shout when you`ve made progress. The pressure is then on him to refuse your suggestion but they normally agree to leave you to get on with your job.
If he ignores you look him in the eye and ask him again…..it`s the only way to deal with these people.Bryan
Re: Dear BSH Man
Pull both thick grey hoses out of the side chamber and join then together with a bit of rubber hose. If now flows o.k. then quote him for a new chamber. 😉
If you want to momentarily distract the customer, press redial on the phone in your pocket.
😈Re: Dear BSH Man
Finally got back to this job yesterday, explained that it would proberly need a new chamber but I would have a go at drilling a small hole and try to clean out the small chamber at the top of the outlet tubes. Much to my supprise it worked! sealed the small hole and he gave me an extra £20
I would not have made so much if I had fitted a new unit.
Thanks for all the adviseGoosegreen
Re: Dear BSH Man
491662 Control Module that fits a SGS43E08GB/43 dishwasher has what appears to be a blown IC Chip? (it’s alongside one of the 2 black relays and one of the legs has gone phut!)
I have replaced the module and the machine works fine now, but my worry is :- What the hell caused it to blow in the first place? All the components of the machine check out fine! Is this a known fault? 😕
Any help gratefully received 😀
Re: Dear BSH Man
Hi Martin, I went to a very similar dishwasher (maybe the same type) a couple of weeks ago. It had two modules fitted in a six weak period by the same guy.
I found a blown triac on the module and dug a little deeper.
That dishwasher has a little motor and gearbox attached to the underside of the instantaneous water heater, for switching water between the spray arms. I found water had leaked through the gearbox seal and onto the little motor terminals.(after a while)
– BANG!Re: Dear BSH Man
Sadly my tale ended in tears as it transpires that having not found any apparent reason for this module to blow, I took a chance on replacing it 😕
Give me a break now!…I found absolutely nothing wrong with any component and no clue as to what caused it to blow. The machine is only 26 months old and used 2 loads a week in a bachelor flat after all. It looks for the most part friggin immaculate!
So I fit the module, it busts into life, I check the motor and the heater cuts in and stuff? All is back to normal, cop his VISA card payment, and off out the door…sorted!
About 8 washes later…..BANG!
Customer on the phone “What are you going to do about it?” I call back and sure enough the bloody IC chip has blown again! I phone Bosch, they haven’t a clue (apparently) phone Tony (EMW) he can’t fix a blown chip.
I’M STUFFED !! ….My customer and I came to an agreement there and then, I refunded the cost of the Module and walked away. Leaving him without a machine and me £25 short and MUCH the wiser (or perhaps non the wiser as to what caused it?) So next time I come across one of these babies I know what I will do…Head for the door!

Have had problem in the past with dispenser actuator blowing modules in the past.
Doesn’t show earth fault on megger, but when actuator changed, no more blown modules 😆

Thanks for that boro! Tell me, how did you suss that one out? Did the actuator appear to have shorted out or open circuit?
I wish the bloke at Bosch’s Technical Department in Milton Keynes knew of this when I rang him the first time over the problem 🙁
