The motor is only secured to the drum with 2 x 10mm headed bolts so i don’t know what other screws/bolts you’re talking about ?

Once the two bolts are removed , its a case of easing the motor off ( with maybe a little leverage )backwards towards the rear plate .

I would as Paul said contact them and say you forgot to register and explain that you expected more from a quality brand 😀

Only selected models have the extended 5 or 10 yr warranty , not all appliances Greg 😉

[nomadPaul]

If its only just over its 2 yr warranty period , i would be tempted to contact Siemens ( BSH appliance care ) and explain how disappointed you are with the failure of this machine when its only just over 2 yrs old. . Its not a given but they may offer a compromise with an offer to help….what have you got to lose ?

Is the noise occuring during the ‘wash’ part of the cycle ? If it is then the chances are that the motor seal has leaked allowing water to get in to the motor and corrode the motor and bearings –

Not the easist of jobs and can work out quite expensive if a new motor and seal is required 🙁

I’d be looking at the door lock . Try and start the machine with the door open……then close the door and try again. If the beeps are the same , there’ your problem.

[nomadPaul]

Put it onto a rinse cycle but with no clothes in it. Will open all the valves at some stage during the 20min cycle .

I’ve been on the broads countless number of times and absolutely love it. Being a keen fisherman helps . I would warn you though, not to go at the holiday peak as the rivers/broads can get very busy and you will find people mooring up in all the best spots by about 1pm – 2pm .
Avoid the school holidays and it should be a very pleasant experience for you .

Is it noisy and screechy when it starts to ramp up ? The brushes may need a bit of time to bed in.

Try and put it on an empty drum spin cycle but at a lower spin speed , say 600 to 800 rpm for 5 -7 mins. If that runs ok , leave for a few miniutes then repeat the process but maybe at 900 -1000 rpm . Work your way up to full speed . Sometimes this will get the brushes bedded in better and allow the machine to work correctly.

Unfortunately , if the old brushes had worn down to such an extent that the copper braid had poked through , they may have scored the armature causing poor contact between the new brush faces and the armature. This in turn creates a lot of electrical noise and the main control module doesn’t like this and will consequently abort the spin cycle

[nomadPaul]

If its nicked the Temp reg then i’d be more even tempted to say something has got trapped . Might be worth having a quick look through the heater access hole when you fit the new heater/NTC.

A very common problem with Bosch dishwashers is low water levels which will cause a no heat fault. Check all the usual inlet hoses/pressure chambers etc for blockages that might cause low water levels.

When fully running the water should just about cover the base of the tub and reach about 1/3 to 1/2 up the salt lid cap. Any less than this and it’ll give you probs.

[nomadPaul]

Possible foreign object….bra wire maybe…..trapped between the two drums ?

[nomadPaul]

Havn’t got details to hand but i’d be looking the motor to see if its got a start capacitor fitted to it.

[nomadPaul]

There is a cover in the sump area for the drain pump impellor access. It doesn’t have a torx20 screw but just ‘clips’ in. If this is missing or loose then it could cause the slow/no drain fault

[nomadPaul]

The Bosch badge on the front maybe a little bit ..errr…misleading . As with a lot of machines out there ( although rare in the BSH range ) some models are just re-badged other brands.
