One Door Spring on the Dishwasher Broke
The installation of the door springs was easier than I thought it would be. The Springs themselves included an extra metal tab, which made it so they could slip into the dishwasher body, without the need for additional plastic pieces, like the original springs. This was ideal because the way in which the spring plastic end broke would have made replacement very difficult. That said, the video instructions for our model dishwasher were inaccurate. There was no way to disconnect the power and water, as indicated in the video. This did make me think twice before pulling the dishwasher out. Luckily the electrical and water connections were long enough such that we could slide the dishwasher out to repair the springs. Also, fortunately, we didn't have to slide it out as far as was indicated in the video. Connecting the ropes was a little tricky, but by attaching the rope to the spring and pulling the rope with a pliers to extend the spring, this allowed me to hook the clip on the door. All in all, the process was easy. It just would have been better if the video actually reflected the work,
Watched the short video on replacing the springs. each side only took a couple of minutes to replace once the dishwasher was pulled out from the cabinet. I was lucky and had ample slack in the electric, water supply, and drain line.
The original plastic and rope in the closing mechanism broke and needed replacing.
Note: The diagram and part description misled me to think that each item was a quantity of one, so I ordered two since I wanted to replace the part on each side of the door. In fact, both the cable repair kit and the guide came with a quantity of two, so have an extra set that I will likely never need. As far as the replacement, it was quick and easy. The hardest part was pulling the dishwasher out from under the cabinet.
have had same problem many times under extended warranty pump was changed by factory and installed wrong it was jammed in so take out there is a realest lever and twist clockwise install buy twisting counter clockwize
Poor cleaning of dishes and calcium build up on filter
I watch utube to assess the problem then took eveything apart and saw the build up on the filter, which i had never cleaned. I tried to clean it but was unsuccessful so order the filter from partselect and it came within a couple of days, installed very easily and began to clean as it always had.
Bosch Dishwasher repeatedly reporting error E17 after a few minutes of running
Fairly easy repair, with the hardest part getting the appliance out of the cabinet. Kill the power and get the dishwasher out. Once out, the water inlet assembly (a large, white, opaque plastic box) is on the left side of the dishwasher, exposed and surrounded by the sound insulation. Pull back the insulation and use pliers to disconnect the small, white water inlet tube (hard to remove, you may need to pry a bit with a flathead screwdriver). Once that's off, look on the back left of the dishwasher for the valve access, which is mounted on a plastic snap-in tab. It was easiest to snap this out by reaching into the dishwasher from the side and squeezing the tab on the assembly with my fingers. Once it's out, remove the electrical connection from the old valve access by squeezing the tab. Unscrew the incoming water hose (from water service), and squeeze the clamp to remove the smaller white hose. Then go in reverse to reassemble: connect the white hose to the valve access and clamp. Connect the water service (make sure the threads take and it's solidly hand-tightened). Connect the small electrical plug. Snap the panel back into the back of the dishwasher. Connect the small white hose back to the water inlet assembly on the left side of the dishwasher and clamp. Test if you can, then put insulation and appliance back in. This totally eliminated my E17 errors.
Turned off power and water supply. Pulled dishwasher out. Disconnected the water inlet from the back left side. Swapped out the inlet valve. Wiped up the water in the bottom pan. Put dishwasher back and turned on water and power. Simple.
After researching YouTube, I figured out the problem was the left side of the door was dropping. Took some screws out where the dishwasher was attached to the counter and cabinets. It took a bit to pull the dishwasher out but when done, the fix was easy. Reverse the process, make sure there’s power and hoses are back.
The instructions stated to remove the door. I spent an hour attempting to remove the door. That was an unnecessary instruction. all else worked as described. Springs were easy to install. The attachment to the door was difficult. Better instructions on how to grasp the connection to spread the spring to give the cable enough slack to attach the connection to the door.
Over the years the filter became too clogged with embedded particles
Really simple. You pull out the drain filter plate and pull the filter off the support and replace. I gave everything a good cleaning and put it back in place.
