Re: Bosch SVG5613GB/12 won’t drain properly.

yeah – £520 actually for the equivalent model. Any idea how difficult it is to change the motor (for a fairly handy and experienced amateur)?

Any idea which seals I need in addition to the motor?

Thanks

Yes – I was afraid of that. The machine is five years old so with the parts being over £100 I’m inclined to simply get a new machine.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the advice. I hadn’t notice the sound of the motor before, but I just tried it and the motor can be heard cutting in for half second then out for half a second – over and over – as though its trying to start up.

Eventually it just sat humming. No water came out of the sprays.

The motor has been quite noisy for a few months.

Thanks again.

Ben

Thanks for the advice, the pump is cleared out running fine now – I think the problem with not fully emptying was simpy that I was not waiting for the end of the cycle or resetting.

The reason that I didn’t notice that I wasn’t at the end of the programme was because of another problem…

There is no water getting to the spray arms. Is there a seperate pump to service these or does the drain pump do both jobs with some kind of valve to switch between waste and spray?

This is a fully integrated dishwasher.

Any suggestions welcome….

Yes – SGV5613GB.

I read the posts here extensively and tried everything I could see. The pump works great when it is on – and everything seems to be clear. The problem is that the pump doesn’t switch on unless you fill then tray with water – then it switches off before the tray is empty (i.e. leaving an inch of water above the filters).

I presume there is some kind of sensor that tests the water level and switches the pump on and off – am I right???

Thanks

Ben
