Re: Bosch SRS43E02GB problem – stops mid cycle with no power

Fixed – as NomadPaul suggested, it was the main electronic control module (part number 49 3323 shown at https://www.bosch-eshop.com/eshop(bD1lbiZjPTAwOQ==)/bosch/gb/prodp.htm?prod=SGS45E08GB{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2f45&ESHOPTYPE=S )

I paid my £95 inc VAT and delivery and when it arrived I programmed it (using the simple key presses described with the delivery note). Re-assembled and all’s well.

So relief all round, but a few thoughts anyway:
I searched a lot for a generic replacement, since the siemens part number (EPG57108) is clearly used in many dishwashers, but I only found it on sale at the Bosch site. If anyone knows a cheaper outlet for others to try, would be worth posting.
The always excellent Joe Grahams in Luton would have sold me one over the counter for not a lot more, and were very helpful over the phone with advice.
There were no obvious signs of failure on the old unit cover or inside it – no burns, colouration, loose connections, damaged wires – nothing to indicate failure. So I still dont know why the unit failed.
My kids now know how to wash up, which is a bonus

Thanks again to all for the comments

Thanks nomadPaul, and before I spend nearly £90 for a replacement (part number 49 3323 shown at https://www.bosch-eshop.com/eshop(bD1lbiZjPTAwOQ==)/bosch/gb/prodp.htm?prod=SGS45E08GB{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2f45&ESHOPTYPE=S ) is there any way I can confirm it is that part – maybe a test which isolates this as the actual problem?

Thanks Specialist01269 – I checked continuity and all seems fine for wires passing from door to main body.

And gandh1 – flood-trip switches are occasionally mentioned on these forums, but never with any indication of where they are located or how to reset them. My dishwasher seems dry as a bone underneath, but if you can point me to a trip-switch or rest switch that might be to blame, I’ll give it a go.

Re: Bosch SRS43E02GB problem – stops mid cycle with no power

I’ve a Bosch SGS45E08GB/45 that has failed in a similar way and I can’t fix it. It has worked fine for several years but when I emptied it last time, all the lights were off (I had not pressed the off switch). Now no amount of switching on or off, unplugging, leaving etc will revive it.
The inside had milky water up to just below the door. I unplugged it and took off the top and side panels. Underneath is clean and dry as a bone, and when plugged in and power switch is pressed, I can lift the little red plunger on the bottom left and the pump runs and water flows out. I pointed the garden hose into the machine and hed the red plunger up and it merrily emptied all I could pour in, nice and cleanly.

Next I unplugged it and attached an AC volt meter to various points, stood back and plugged it back in to test. There is power to the main front switch, and when the door is shut, there is power the other side of the door switch. There is also power to the small black rectangular jobbie located between the meaty looking heater element terminals. I don’t know what this is, but I wonder if it might be a fail switch.

Well I unplugged it and took the door apart, visually checked all the cable connections to the program buttons//LED light block but still no red lights, no LED numbers and no way to make anything work.

If there is a trip switch I can reset, or a likely part I can take out and test, I would love to know. I can see the expertise on these forums pointing to likely causes and solution so I live in hope.
