Thanks Dave.

It seems the “control module” is £43 and the “power module” is £116 (on the Bosch site). Seems like the power module is far more difficult to access.

Do you know if it’s possible to DIY re-programme one of these power modules? Somebody has one (from a different machine, but the same module) for £30 on Ebay.

With these spare parts prices, it’s no wonder people just toss their old machines and buy a new one!

Thanks again,

Hi Dave,

I’m thinking, before I spend £42.29 on the new PCB/controller module, is there any chance it’s a sensor of some sort. I observed the dishwasher more carefully last night, and it seems to hang up as it kicks into a new cycle about 2/3 through the programme (in this case the ‘speed perfect’ 50-degree wash). Some of the wash water is drained, then it hangs up at :37 remaining. I looked, and there was still hot soapy water at the bottom. The machine then goes off for a few minutes, then wakes up and tries to do something (sounds like a pump), then goes back to sleep. After a few of these cycles all the water was drained, but it keeps up the sleep-wake cycle (with many minutes sleeping, LED off) for a long time (>1-2 hours).

Does this still sound like a PCB, or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks!

Thanks Dave. Sockets look good, and swapping didn’t change anything.
Any idea how much a replacement PCB costs? I’m having trouble finding a source for these…

Sorry I forgot the model number: SMI50C02GB (Bosch Classixx)

Hi Lokibear,
We have a Bosch dishwasher of a similar age exhibiting similar symptoms. I also suspect the PCB, but nobody seems able to tell me.
Did you find an answer?
Thanks!
