No Martin, the other lead.

Re: Bosch SMS3042

Right thought to get sorted this morning; had no time or inclination all week.

Replaced inlet solenoid assembly, but solenoid supply (brown) has been detached at tag at other end & it’s not obvious where it’s come from. Can’t find any wiring diagrams anywhere on the Web (was that naive 😀 ?), so anyone know?

As to Dave’s idea of breaks in wiring; can’t see any at the point the door hinges. Also, system is not overfilling …. just the opposite in fact.

I’m about out of ideas now, other than the mechanical controller (do they often fail?).

Re: Bosch SMS3042

Thanks Dave, still no email by this evening …. never mind, lost in the ether somewhere.

Anyway back to the dishwasher. I removed the solenoid inlet assembley & double checked the coil resistance prior to ordering a new one, and lo & behold it’s not open circuit after all … must have been some muck on the contacts before.

So, unless the solenoid is jammed shut, the problem lies elsewhere. How is the electrical supply to the solenoid controlled & at what point is it activated? Does this point to a controller problem, or are there more safety switches knocking around?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Bosch SMS3042

Tried emailing spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk yesterday for quote for part 091051 but no reply as of this morning. Looked on the Bosch site http://www.bshappliancecare.co.uk/ , and now I’m a little confused.

For the SMS3042GB/03, the schematic shows the inlet solenoid to be part of a bigger unit with part no. 08 6825 kompl. If I then look to price the part, then it is not listed. 👿 Clarification anyone please?

Re: Bosch SMS3042

There is some water from the inlet valve going into the matrix thingy, but plenty of air in there too.

Solenoid reads open circuit, so I guess this must be the culprit. I just wanted to check before I ordered a new one. Thanks for the help.
