Re: Bosch SGS6962GB/13 Cycle Stuck on 1 Minute to go

Hi. An update… the problem has been resolved. I waited a few weeks to be sure.

What appears to have been 1 problem looks like it was 2. The initial issue seems to have been the blocked pressure chamber and tubes. The effect being that there wasn’t enough water geting in to allow the heater to work correctly (so luke warm water was being used). It then looks like this issue caused the 2nd problem to creep up over time( the dirty sensor). So once I’d fixed the pressure chamber and tubes blockage by cleaning it physically, running it through 3 times at Intensive cycle with dishwasher cleaner finally did the trick and cleaned off the water sensor.

All functions now work perfectly, the water is at the correct temp for each cycle and the cycles go down to 0 mins as they should do. Dishes come out sparkling again… Thanks for your help.

Thanks Martin.

Hi, it came back No Service Engineer in your area (GU51 3LU).

Any ideas ?

Hi Martin

I ran a rod thtough the waste pipe and de-gunged the intersection where it joins the sink as part of my cleaning process the other day.

re: the Instantaneous water heater sensors… removing the Tub ? I’m pretty handy, so a loose procedure would be good to get me started 🙂

Thanks

Greg,

in your previous post you mentioned 2 parts
________________
As Martin said they are there bit what the heck

Water heater – 483058 (Part change)
Pressur Chamber – 497570 (Part change)

Please see spares@ for prompt supply of spares
________________

I take it the Part change means the old parts were upgraded ?,,, Were the oroginal parts badly designed ? Should I change them out to the new parts ?

Hi Rachel, Gegsy etc.. just an update… I got by over Christmas by adding water to the machine at a particular point in the cycle and then the machine was able to finish the cycle.

Clearly this is not workable, so the other day I set to taking the thing apart… Unplug, LHS of the machine take off side panel, unplug hoses from inlet and out let and recirc pipes (have a bowl and towels ready). clean these pipes as you go if poss. Took off and cleaned the water level regulator(263097) and cleaned out the gunked pressure chamber, float and tube running to sump (480748). Put back together and tried again running it for a couple of cycles on Intensive. I now notice the temp is getting to its target temp – it wasn’t before. So something has got better. However it still sticks on 1 min. So I believe there are multiple problems here.

I’d now like to check the sensors attached to the instantaneous water heater mentioned in a previous post… there are 2 on the other side of the machine (165279 & 165281).
1)Is this a possible problem area given the symptoms and
2) How do I get them off to clean them or is it not possible without removing the whole instantaneous water heater ?

Could it be a fualty PCB or is it more likely to be a mechanical/sensor issue?

Hi, I downloaded the exploded parts view for my dishwasher, however the descriptors are in German. Do you have part codes for the Instantaneous Water heater and Pressure Chamber so I can clean/check the correct parts please ?
Thanks
Happy Christmas btw 🙂

Re: Bosch SGS6962GB/13 Cycle Stuck on 1 Minute to go

Mmm, that didn’t seem to work. It still sits at 1 Min to go. I did notice that when I opened the door there was a sucking sound. I look in the sump and no water is there. I added a few bowls of water, closed the door and the machine carried on from around 68 mins on the Intensive cycle. It began by spraying water around inside, then went on to finish (timer at 0 Mins)?? Any other ideas ?

Yes it is a Hard Water Area. I’ll try that and get back to you.

Thanks
