Re: Bosch dishwasher SGS45E02GB/45
Hi,
You are correct as to the pressure system, it works on a flowmeter to control water level, part number 424099, these are crap and fail for a past time! It is located between the inlet valve and metering tank.
I don’t know if Greg or any of the other folks at UKW have seen this part but I could email a pic of this 🙂
If it is any help…. Is the machine fitted wit the GE Procond board? These seem to suffer with weird faults.

Hi.
Sounds like a pressure switch fault to me, and, if the heater has gone open circuit would probably have been caused by low water level as they have a TOC in them. Timer/Module unit will not cause this fault BUT One point to note is that this machine starts to fill and advances at the same time, fills from one valve until level one is reached, then advances and fills again from the other valve depending on the wash selected, so an open circuit inlet valve can cause a low water level. The valves on the WFF machines fail for a past time and are certainly worth checking.
I Change loads of valves but rarely change pressure switches.
One other interesting bit of info…. The dot on the selector just after wash ‘3’ is the heat pause, bit of useless info for you all 😳
Hope this helps 8)
SteveRe: SERVIS PDA TERMINALS
I don’t know why they don’t just fit it with a modem to dial customer liason to arrange an exchange appliance 😆 😈
Does it say ‘Its a quality product madam’ 😆Re: Glaring design faults
I think the Hotpoint VTD versions also desrve a golden turd award, not for the fact of being difficult to dismantle but difficult to keep the bloody thing together and square without the drum rubbing the cabinet.
I’d also like to nominate the crossleigh condenser dryer for a Golden Turd, what a lovely quality unit and a total joy to change a belt or front stat on. 😆
Depending on how BIG the turds are or how many catergories they can be nominated for, how about Merloni’s entire range of Servis products? 😈Re: Bosch SGS66A02GB/20 dishwasher.
My honest opinion………
Walk away from it, he has totally fcuk’d it. The board for this machine is in the bottom right hand side of the base, sounds like water has gained entry to it messing up that and display PCB.
The 1 fault can be caused by a blocked heat exchanger on the left or a faulty outlet valve next to the regen one on the salt pot, as well as the usuall blocked pressure chamber and sump hose.
Thats all going to cost serious money, and where do you start?
I’d leave old messer boy with his mechanical moron mind to get on with it 😆
Sorry I couldn’t help you more.
SteveRe: BoschGSU2606
Ok, No problem. I’ll have a look on the laptop for you tommorow and see if I can get E2 description for you (that is if no one else beats me too it!!)
Steve 8)Re: Bosch SGI43A22GB/13.
Hi Chris
The top arm operates for 60 seconds and then it switches to the lower arm and that then operates for 60 seconds and so on, a good way to check i have found is by taking the deco door off and the outer steel door, set the machine running and when its full of water the alternation will be very apparent by the splashing inside the machine.
Its worth bearing in mind that if that top arm is at all suspect it will not turn, they sieze when their hot and leak out so much water it looses pressure and will not turn, I fit loads of top arm assemblys but very few heaters for failed diverters.

Hi
Sounds like the water diverter in the heater box has gone, You will need the exact one to suit the model which will be 483657.
The disc stops rotating by becoming jammed or snaps and will not divert between arms sometimes accompinied by a cracking sound as it tries. It alternates every 60 seconds.
Best way I have always found is taking the tank off and how to do it has been posted somewhere before 😕
No doubt someone will come along and suggest you turn it upside down 😆 But I wouldn’t 😉
Hope this helps
SteveRe: BoschGSU2606
Hi.
Had this with simalar unit where another engineer had been out and shoved all the plugs in wrong and the tray heater was on when the door was shut 😯 , luckily the overheat protector head taken the unit out.
The plugs SHOULD be keyed to suit and I have always found with carefull inspection it can be worked out, Although sounds like you are on the right line with the fan operating when the door is shut.
It is worth checking the TOC strapped to the evaporator as if it has been connected wrong before and blown it can make the unit do funny things, TOC not to be confused with the NTC on tne evaporator 😉 usually TOC is all black with black wires and closed circuit.
Usually a new fan solves slow running faults, but power is supplied via a triac on the board and they have been known to play up, especially on compresser triacs where not enough voltage is supplied and the compressor ‘clicks’ like its siezed up. Worth checking the heaters whilst its appart as the evaporator one does go from time to time and are a pig to replace as the pipes snap 🙁
All else fails and its a new board
Part number for the board (assuming its a GB/01 variant) is 262128 and retails at £122.08
SteveRe: Bosch dishwasher SGS45E02GB/45
Hi
Sounds like a heater open circuit to me, or it could be that the machine isn’t filling up enough to operate the heater microswitch (note this will only be activated with the wash pump runing), worth checking pressure chamber and hose between pressure chamber and sump for blockages too.
The thing that affects wash time is usually heating faults and wont be displayed to the end user unless you put the machine into a service test programme where a fault code may be displayed.
One thing I have had with these machines fitted with the Sicasym motor is they will not switch to normal running speed (usually after a leak) and run at a low speed, thus not operating the heater switch, but, saying that the motor usually sounds cack! 🙂
Hope this helps
SteveRe: I just had to say…
I did go into B&Q, but unfortunatly my van was parked out of range of their camera 🙁 I was in comet who have the adjoining unit to B&Q doing a dealer visit, they didn’t see any thing either. 😡
Got his registration number though 🙂 passed the details on to the firm too. I think he found me a bit intimidating being a 6 fit skin head with earings 😆Re: I just had to say…
Sounds about right, and had some old git on OAP wednesday at B&Q back into my van and bend the bonnet, when I stopped him, he denied doing it, called me a liar and accused me of trying to fit him up! Even though I had his paint on my vehicle. Now the firm want 250 quid policy excess off ME to fix it!
I got to see the mother in law and family tommorow so their could be a stream of blood flowing from South Wales 😆
And WHY are other peoples children Soooooo Bloody annoying, all I wanted to do was fix the frost free fridge freezer and the little sh1t kept pushing past me to get the ice, whilst not so yummy mummy kept on saying ‘Don’t annoy the man Oliver’. He took no notice until I told him he was annoying the man, at which point he started to cry, and I had a heated arguement with the father.
And all the usuall crap about ‘How Much’ and ‘You must be paid well’ along with ‘How do you sleep at night’ to which I nearly replied to the bloke (who works nights) ‘fine when your wife stops snorring’ but didn’t fancy my jaw broke again 😆
Its a shame as we all seem to end up coming home and taking it out on our loved ones 🙁
SteveRe: The strangest thing you can find in a blocked pump
Pulled loads of Condoms out of washers when I was at Servis, especially when the parents were away, mainly in the later years when we got below the 200 quid marker for a machine. I even used to see my customers down the local night club on ‘pull a pig’ night. 😆
I’d never squeze a sump hose full stop because of the risk of ‘sharps’, learnt that at Servis too, never used to touch any machine that i thought might be suspect, even walked out of a junkies flat once because of it, he claimed he was diabetic, I told him he was a skag head, he agreed.
Had all the usuall with the Hotpoint ‘Moneybox’ loads of change, cigerette lighters, gold rings necklaces and earings, bank cards, curton hooks, Tazo’s, bobbles, half a mobile phone 😯
Bra wires always make me laugh when the lady of the house exclaims ‘Whats that?’ I then hold it under my man boob to demonstrate 😆
We used to do a service contract for a ‘house of ill repute’ and was always pulling bits of underware out of their machine, It was great, the girls just walked round wiv nout on, happy days 😀 😀 😀
SteveRe: Bosch d/w
Hi
Not seen it before, Interesting one as they normally muller the board if a component fails 😕
Usuall suspect is the mains suppressor as they bleed to earth really bad and can cause nuisance tripping and/or explode, I can’t understand why a suppresor is needed in a dishwasher?
Steve 😀
