Re: Bosch SGS5358GB/17 Not heating up

Greg,

Thanks, I have tried that but get no reading whatsoever! Even doing a continuity test – nothing!

I guess that can mean only one thing – the element has gone.

I guess its time for a new dishwasher.

Re: Bosch SGS5358GB/17 Not heating up

Greg,

Thanks, that is what I call a swift reply! Should I check across the two outer terminals with all electrical spades removed?

If I get no reading at all, is it worth also doing a continuity test between the terminals?

I managed to track down a photo of the heater housing from the spares site on this forum so at least I know what I’m looking for now.

Thanks,

Ed

Re: Bosch SGS5358GB/17 Filling Problems

Martin/Dave,

Took off the left panel again and spotted the problem straight away. The blue lever was stuck in the off position (i.e. away from the machine). I thought I had cleaned off all the salt residue but obviously hadn’t.

The spring in the electical switch is what resets the blue lever and, given that the lever still had salt deposits on its axis, it wasn’t strong enough to return it to the on position.

A bit more cleaning and wiggling and job done.

Thanks for getting me to open it up again!

My fault for putting the machine on its side when I transorted it.:oops:
