Re: SGS59A22GB is it end of life?
Thanks Martin,
I had cleaned them recently, but clearly not well enough!
Will try and then let you know the outcome.
Using a cheap Currys Essentials machine I bought from a friend…I can see the difference now!Andrew
Re: Bosch SGS59A22GB sticking at 1min left in cycle
Update:
With reference to this excellent thread
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=44514I cleaned the hose and water level control according to the images…mine were identical to those pictured.
But…although the wash did complete and show 0 on the display, there was water left in the bottom of the machine (in the sump). So I emptied that out by disconnecting the 2nd hose in from the back of the machine.
I then ran a rinse cycle (only takes 20 mins!) and there was water in the sump…
so, thanks to this post

I checked all pipes connected with the pump, all ok.
Eventually I realised that the pump was not doing anything.
I had a sudden brainwave and checked under the machine, and found I’d knocked a connection off the pump. Re-connected and ‘hey presto’ working.So to summarise my findings…..
when 1 min is displayed for a long time, check the water is hot to eliminate the heater matrix.
then clean everything! and don’t forget the water level control, not as scary to disassemble as you may think!If your machine is not pumping, again check all tubing for blockage, including under the sink, clear the 1 way valve (little black rubber thing) and then make sure you haven’t accidentally knocked a wire off the pump!
Hope this helps someone!
AndrewRe: Diplomat ADP8242 – beep beep
You know what?
In my simple and non technical mind, I’d say enough is enough and bin it, dealing with the wife’s tutting/I told you so would seem to be the best way to go now. I’m rapidly reaching that point with my own Bosch machine (7 years old).Sorry and good luck!

Re: Bosch SGS59A22GB sticking at 1min left in cycle
Been doing some digging around UKWG. Seems that all posts point to heater issues, or blocked pipwork.
I took the m/c apaart recently and cleaned (or thought I had!) all the flexible tubing I could see around the place. I cleaned the impeller blade (looks like a star?) and re-seated my motor.
The water temperature inside the machine is very hot (makes my glasses steam up instantly when door opend and look inside!!). Only a cold feed to the m/c so no heater from DHW…
There is a whirring noise coming from the m/c when stuck on 1min.
Does anyone have any model specific advice you can give me? If not, i don’t think I can get an engineer (HR3 postcode).I await your knowledgeable responses!
Re: Bosch SGS59A22GB sticking at 1min left in cycle
Yes, still hot…
I’ll check on the forums again for bosch+1min, a good search term, Thanks!Re: Bosch SGS59A22GB Making loud bangs!
Hello all,
Been a long time since I started this thread…but…
I have finally just taken the machine apart as there was a knocking sound (motor mounting had come free). I finally completely stripped the machine down. I did have to remove the whole assembly from the top in order to gain access. This meant removing top, side panels, door, disconnecting waste, water, sump, salt…before fianlly lifting the whole assembly off the top.
Once achieved, it was clear to see that the supressor had indeed been the cause of our problems… there was black soot over the dishwasher casing and some of the earth wiring has melted sleeving.
We haven’t had any problems with the machine recently, we moved house 2 years ago, so clearly no longer our wiring! We have a friendly local sparky who visited and all is well in ouyr electrical land! We had one or two shorts when we first arrived…but since all good!
So, if it becomes a problem again, I know where to come and what to replace and just how long it will take!
Hope this is useful to somebody!
AndrewRe: Hotpoint WD62
Thanks Jim.
I didn’t realise that the performance was quite that poor! Fortunately, I’m not quite that silly and have connected the machine to a water supply. we do wash in it occasionally!
Thanks for the tip – The appliance of science eh?!!
Whats an ISE 10?Thanks again.

Re: Bosch SGS59A22GB Making loud bangs!
Update –
Sparky has now been and added an earth to the socket. He suggested that as the live and neutral were travellling through an “earth vacum” (caused by our apparently dodgy electrics – news to us!) this could have caused all sorts of problems. Including some of what weve experienced.So far so good – we’ve run the machine 2 or 3 times and it’s all ok!
Looks like we’ve found the problem!If it happens again, I’ll just replace the supressor (getting the part from Whitegoods of course!)
Thanks for all your advice!

Penguin
Is that on the rear of the machine where the power cord goes ino the machine??
Andrew
Re: Bosch SGS59A22GB Making loud bangs!
Sparky has visited today and has told us not to use the machine as there is a serious issue with the earthing of the pulg! He has banned us from using the socket!
I don’t see how this would affect the appliance though – just might give me an electric shock?
Am happy to replace the “capacitor – interference” part given by Penguin. This is in the parts list I have from Bosch! But how is it best to get access. I can get partial access by removing the side panel. The only other route I can see is to lift the whole case (meaning what you load the dishes into!)off the bottom?! Is that really the only way to get access to the motor sump and all the other parts underneath?! Seems a bit excessive!
Have to say – it’s giving me a great insight into the world of electronics!
Cheers again!
Andrew
Re: Bosch SGS59A22GB Making loud bangs!
Ok, so I guess from all your comments that you all think it’s nothing to do with the actual machine itself! Could be the Suppressor as suggested – i’ll see if I can find that and the spare for it!
We’ll see what the sparky find tomorrow and I’ll check the socket later tonight.
Strange that it should happen all of a sudden? Nothing’s changed!
Cheers
Andrew
