Yes, that was the problem – Dave, many thanks for flagging it up! I was puzzled at first that your photo didn’t correspond to my machine, but then I found a German forum showing a machine exactly like mine, and with the same broken cable problem – like mine, both wires were fractured just where they entered the clamp. Bad design – wrong cable, wrong type of clamp – so a predictable failure, concealed by the useless ‘protective’ tape!
I found a generic Bosch dishwasher manual that appeared to work. The reset procedure (also referred to in different places in the manual as the cancel function, and the abort programme function) is to press the start button for about 3 seconds. I had tried this previously but it just produced mysterious intermittent grinding noises, and the machine was unresponsive to attempts to start it. The manual I found mentions that after pressing start for 3 seconds, the machine will empty itself of any water present by pumping out for a minute or so. These were the grinding noises I heard – the machine was empty and there was noting to pump. If you wait until the noises have stopped (seemed like more than a minute) the machine will have reset successfully and can be programmed.
Re: Bosch SRS43C12GB/14 stopped mid-cycle no lights on fuses
The impressively efficient and prompt Bosch repair technician came this morning, replaced the control pcb for free as per the recall, and the machine sprang into life. He didn’t think the pcb had expired because of the problem that stimulated the recall – it was just old age, which was what I suspected. But I’d never have known about the recall if it hadn’t been for you guys – thanks again!
Re: Bosch SRS43C12GB/14 stopped mid-cycle no lights on fuses
Amazing – many thanks! The dishwasher is subject to the recall, and so a Bosch engineer will replace the pcb on Friday free of charge. By the way, repairaction.co.uk won’t get you to the website on some browsers, including Firefox – you have to enter http://www.repairaction.co.uk
Re: JLWD1404 has stopped drying
I left the machine unplugged all night, and this morning (still unplugged) I thoroughly wiggled as many connectors as I could reach. I switched it on and it behaved perfectly through a short wash and an automatic dry. Horrible noise from the fan assembly again, so I disassembled it and found a cement-like accumulation of lime scale and fluff behind the fan. Impossible to remove the fan itself to clean behind, so I’ve ordered a new fan assembly from your excellent shop. Many thanks for the information and advice.
Re: JLWD1404 has stopped drying
Thanks. I should have been more precise. I knew it would be in the silver box somewhere, but last night I didn’t know which of the 10 wires connected to the silver box were the heater wires. In the cold light of day it must obviously be the two brown ones at the front. I’m puzzled as to why it needs so many thermostats.
Does anyone know why the timer and the fan don’t switch on, and why I don’t see an error code?
