Dishwasher door spring broke
This was an easy repair to make on this model of Bosch dishwasher with this kit. I watched a YouTube video describing this repair before I purchased the parts, and I didn’t have to go through many of the steps described in the video. I began by removing the two screws holding the dishwasher under the countertop and eased it out from its enclosure. The rope with the broken plastic clip was easy to find on one side of the dishwasher without removing any shields or having to flip the dishwasher on it’s back. I removed the old spring, attached the new rope and plastic clip to the new spring, routed the rope around the pullies and pushed the new spring in place. I did the same thing on the other side while it was out. I also spent some time leveling the dishwasher with the leveling feet while I had it pulled out too. Easy repair.
I disconnected the water, power, brackets, and drain and then slid out the washer. Replacing the springs and related cords is easy in and of itself. Common sense will tell you how to do it once you see it. Each spring comes with a metal retainer(?) which has to be removed prior to installation. Why it is there is a mystery. The old spring does not have it, and the new "Cord" will not attach to the old spring so you have to replace it to fit the new "Cord." I also took the opportunity to replace the water line and valve.
The disappointment came with one of the springs. One end of each spring is held in place by the plastic side frame, which in one case was in the process of disintegration or perhaps damaged in original manufacture. In any event, the plastic let-go and the new spring shot forward into the "Guide" (part 0528) and broke it in two. I have ordered new "Guides" but I will have to fabricate some way to attach the spring to the plastic frame. I hope you don't have to go through that. So be very careful replacing the springs.
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.
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.
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
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.
