Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / January 2008FOAK: Dishwashers
I inherited a dishwasher (Bosch) in seemingly very good condition. I ran a cycle with the Finish dishwasher cleaner thingy which worked perfectly. But now it won't pump out so I'm puzzled. I presume that the pump that circulates the water to wash is the same one that pumps the machine out? The circulation action works fine but not the emptying. Can I fix it myself cheaply or is it f.cked? Can anyone point me to any way of checking it out? Long shot, I know, but this is the FOAK. >I inherited a dishwasher (Bosch) in seemingly very good condition. I ran a >cycle with the Finish dishwasher cleaner thingy which worked perfectly.

The high pressure one is for 'circulation' and there will be another low pressure one for emptying out. It's more likely to be a problem with a microswitch or float switch stopping the pumping out. It may be worth checking the outlet is not blocked internally from this pump to the outlet hose. Not a pleasant job to do as these bastard things are a pig to dismantle but I'd go in underneath first and see what you can see. TIP: do the tipping over bit prior to inspection with lots of towels handy as there is always a gallon or two of water in DWs. JB >I inherited a dishwasher (Bosch) in seemingly very good condition.

Long shot, I know, but this is the FOAK. This is almost always due to the float valve being blocked with solidified grease or other debris, a very common occurance with Bosch dishwashers, but very easy to rectify. Lift out the drain strainer from the bottom tray and to one side of the hole that is revealed is a small circular plug that can be lifted out and the float exposed. Clean thoroughly and reassemble.

I wonder if it has anything to do with running the diswasher cleaner through it... it may have loosened up a nice solid plug of grease that was sat there minding its' own business...

Clean thoroughly and reassemble. Must be an older model. There's no circular plug to be seen. On one side of the hole there's what appears to be a removable bit of plastic secured by a torx pin, could that be it? I've searched both back and front but can't find a model number to google. >> This is almost always due to the float valve being blocked with >> solidified grease or other debris, a very common occurance with Bosch [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > secured by a torx pin, could that be it?

I have never seen one of these but I would suspect a valve blockage, especially as you have just cleaned it. Accumulations of fat can be loosened by the cleaning process or a normal wash cycle and then re-solidify on a cold rinse. Problems usually manifest themselves as either a flooded kitchen because the float valve does not shut the water off or failure to pump put because there is a blockage.

Bosch usually prints/etches the model number on the stainless steel of the door. Open the door and the first bit of stainless you see on the door top is where it will be.

A TomTom, or any PDA, is not a "machine with microprocessor controls" in the context of this discussion, e.g. dishwasher, washing machine, etc. The more commonly accepted usage would have been 'micro_controller_ based machines' rather than "machines with micro_processor_ controls".
