Cheers Clive,
I wont be getting back until June, so once I get back and have a look at the dishwasher and start troubleshooting it, I cant give any feed back but will follow up with everyone to let you know what I find.
Thanks
Rob

If anyone happens to have knowledge of a manual please let me know.

Re: Bosch Dishwasher SMS4472 Plumbing

Thanks Clive for the help, that will be the first thing I check on.
If the inlet valve is not blocked and the inlet valve is working fine what else could be the problem?
As mentioned would the drain hose height cause the dishwasher not to start its cycle?
Is there somewhere I can find the manual and install instructions?
Thanks
Rob

Re: Bosch Dishwasher SMS4472 Plumbing

Nope not the supply line Clive, lots of water pressure. Im leaning towards a part that is either blocked,stuck or defective. Is their filters on these dishwashers? what about solenoid valves? float switches? pump? pressure switch? sensors?
I am currently back in Canada and my partner is in the UK so I am not able to do much troubleshooting myself until I get back, so I am trying to gather enough info on what to look for when I troubleshoot.
My partner cant find the any manual and I have tried online here but this model is not coming up with anything probably because it is at least 10 – 15 yrs old. When she told me what the technician had told her I just couldnt agree with him as I know the height didnt have anything to do with it as it would be more so pressure.
If the drain hose is not allowing the water to fully drain would this cause the dishwasher not to operate or fill do to a valve or switch not opening or closing to signal the start of the cycle?
Thanks for the responses and help
very much appreciated to all.

Re: Bosch Dishwasher SMS4472 Plumbing

Thanks iadom & cj for replys. The technician was refering to the inlet feed pipe and not the water tank height. The dishwasher was working before the renovation so the water tank had to be fine. As mentioned I couldnt see the feed pipe height being an issue as its all based on pressure, so I do agree with iadoms response.
I can’t find the manuals or install instructions for this make and model online does anyone no a website where I can get it?
Could a problem be with a part being stuck or faulty? and if so what parts should I look at on this make and model?
The dishwasher worked and I only moved the plumbing approx 3 – 4 ft from the original location.
Thanks again

Re: Bosch Dishwasher SMS4472 Plumbing

LJDomestic, thanks for the reply. So even if it should be the cold line feeding the dishwasher, then is there a certain height that the cold line should be above the floor? I dont see how the height of line would have an affect on the start up of the dishwasher is this technician correct in what he told us?
Thanks

Re: Bosch Dishwasher SMS4472GB20

Besides the Door switch, Fuse & wiring, what else could be the problem? Does anyone have a step by step troubleshooting manual for this dishwasher?
Thanks again
