FYI: I have a Bosch DW with this same setup and the problem was the round screen/filter under the larger flat, metal screen. It had built up hard water deposits and at least 80% of it was totally restricted. Took it out, cleaned it with soap/brush/scrub pad well but still 70%+ remained. I sprayed it with straight white vinegar, scrubbed on it...was still mostly blocked. I then put it in a small sandwich ziplock bag and put about 1/2 cup vinegar in bag, closed it and shook every few hours. After 24 hours all was dissolved and it came completely clean. It will require a soak so don't try to scrub too hard or it may damage the filter. Let it soak and the vinegar will do the work by chemical reaction.
Nicely done😊
Thank you! My dishwasher was not cleaning, and I was going to replace it. I saw you clean the spinning jets - and took mine out. They were clogged with small bits of plastic. Saved me hundreds of dollars.
Awesome,
Thanks so much Rich👍😊
Excellent. The details are always important. I got crud on the dishes, especially in the tea cups on the top rack.. I had taken out the filter in the bottom of the bin. Gave it a good cleaning. had replaced it. But I failed to lock it back in. Your video showed me exactly what I had done wrong. And how to fix it. Thank you.
I am now a dishwasher cleaning ninja. Got lots of random bits out. I took extra time tapping and rinsing the spinner things and found lots of cherry stems and some larger pieces of food that were stuck inside them. Hoping it makes a big difference
Thanks Sue,
It should clean much better now😊
I always watch these videos with the easy fixes like this one hoping that the dishwasher I need to fix will go this easy.... It never does... I always wind up on the 20 minute videos that show how to replace pump motors and/or impellers... lol
This was so very helpful, simple concise, but really helpful. I never knew that the arms popped off. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Thanks so much Karen😊
Thanks so much for this video and advice. I did find some paper pulp in the bottom of my washer and cleaned everything out. While it didn’t solve my problem, it’s at least one thing checked off.
I wonder if the spray arms are filled with that paper pulp?
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Things are back to normal now. I'm not sure but I think it took running several loads after cleaning and clearing things out to get here. Now happy and feeling accomplished. Thanks again for this video!
Excellent guide, had issues with not rinsing but followed your instructions and all is good now.
I could hug you man 🫂! Thanks so much!
Thank you😊😊😊
Great informative video! Thanks! I just can't believe that you rinsed all that paper pulp down the drain in the sink!
His next video is how to remove paper pulp that is blocking a sink .
What if my drain has been always kept clean and the spray arms are clean. Also the air gap looks fine. My washer leaves a ton of soap, and has almost since it was new. I tried finish as by the manufacturer and now cascade complete. I use vinegar all the time as well. I have ran it several times with no soap and there is a soapy scum on everything. It's a bummer since they won't help me at Bosch.
Do not use a lot of soap. I've been advised to fill the soap dispenser only 1/3
Thanks for sharing, very informative! Found this when our dishwasher wasn't cleaning very well. Half of the sprays we're clogged with food debris. Working great now after cleaning!
Awesome,
Thanks Chad😊✨
Thank you for this video. Question. We don't have a counter top air cap and I don't know where to look for it. Could you mention, for those of us without a counter top one, where we'd find it? Thanks everso much
Can you remove the drain tube from under the sink and put it in a bucket and set it to drain?
I had the same problem with paper pulp in my Bosch. After cleaning the filters, checking the arms, and making sure both pump impellers were clean/free I'm still not convinced its working correctly. After a full cycle the dishes are clean but have a soapy film. What's next?
add rinse aid
For check if they are clean i mean the little holes let run water in the sink inside the cleaning arms
I don't have the air thing on top of my sink that you are talking about. I've cleaned the filter multiple times, I ordered a top new arm and my bottom arm in my Bosch dishwasher is absolutely clean and perfect. It seems like my dishes are not getting clean, I have the dishwashing detergent that you said to use. What else could it be? I just put three cups of vinegar in my dishwasher, I saw that on another TH-cam channel, maybe that will help? There's always the tiniest bit of water in the drain and even when I push the start button for 3 seconds, the water does not go down. My garbage disposal is not clogged I've poured scalding hot water down it and it runs perfectly. Thank you so much!
Hi Angela,
Sounds like you’re doing everything correctly.
I think your dishwasher may be is not heating up anymore.
Can you open the door after 20 minutes of running and see if you get a big plume of steam coming out?
my problem is the water sprayer at the roof of dishwasher is clogged and no water hits the upper rack. I purposely put a cup right side up and usually it fills up but no.
Thanks Maria,
If you open the door at 3 minutes into the cycle, how high is the water in relation to the round plastic filter handle?
Excellent, thanks for the tip on the air gap! After cleaning everything the dishwasher still didn't drain. Your video is the first one to have mentioned it as a potential problem. It turns out I had a lot of junk accumulated there; after removing it, the dishwasher drains normally.
Very cool😊
I don't have one of those air gap things???
@@hfug8 me neither... at least not where it's obvious. Any suggestions where it might be @QuickandEasy5minuteApplianceFixes
I tried cleaning all these and filter at the bottom... still no luck. Their is always soap Stull in the tray though and sometimes just starts slowly dripping down after the cycle. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks ahead if time
Super video! I applauded for £2.00 👏
Thank you👍
Good video. Gets down to the point - solved me from getting a technician out. Thanks Bud!
Thanks Jacques😊
Thanks Jacques😊
Great Video! We’ve been having trouble recently with our Bosch. The soap tab has been ejected but not dissolved and nothing gets cleaned. I checked our filter and noticed that it was sitting kind of loose. I’m worried junk got past the filter and now clogging somewhere. Is that possible? We’re should I check next?
Thanks!
Can you run it for 20 minutes and then open the door. You should get a big plume of steam.
I think the heater is no longer heating the water.
Hi, hope you can help. My dishwasher fills and empties great but the problem is that the spray arms don't go round, is there a pump for pushing the water around?. Thanks in anticipation.
I've had nothing but problems with my Bosch dishwasher. I have a similar model to the one shown that costs over $1700. It does not clean. I've had the repair guys out at least 10 times (on warranty). I am meticulous about following the recommendations for loading. Keep the filter spotless (clean it weekly), remove and clean the spinners BEFORE EVERY CYCLE, turned my hot water up to the hottest temp possible (which means I'm frequently burning my hands while washing them), always use the recommended detergent (Finish Ultimate), and the rinse aid, run the hot water before washing, scrape (but don't rinse) the dishes (so the detergent which needs "biologics" to do it's job, can work)...and STILL have dirty dishes every wash. Like often half the dishes. sometimes plates, and forks not cleaned. I make sure it's loaded so water can circulate. Nothing touching. Nothing overlapping. spin the spinners before starting. And always cups and glasses with GUNK thrown up on them. Stuck to them. Like sand inside the glasses. I can't figure out why! Anyone have any ideas at all? I'm ready to start a campaign to the manufacturer declaring they replace a lemon.
Same here.
Check to see if the float in your dishwasher is working. Lift it up, it is the round thing by the drain filter, and hold it there. You should hear a pump turn on to empty. The cap should move up and down freely. If it does not, then you have a jammed float cap and it can keep water from filling to the proper level, which then leaves dirty dishes and undissolved soap.
Me too. Didn't clean from Day 1 -- so it wasn't a problem of food clogging or neglected maintenance. It was professionally installed, but still I had a different professional plumber come out and check the connections (water line, etc.) and the water pressure and they were fine. Essentially, I purchased a very expensive dish rack that is useful only for holding the dishes, silverware, pots and pans that I have to wash by hand in the sink and put in the Bosch to dry. Even at that, the bottom rack sucks and doesn't even slide in and out smoothly....it keeps falling off its track! Regrettable purchase.
We had intermittent problems with the bottom rack not cleaning. Determined that the bottom rack sags just enough to hit the bottom spinner when heavily loaded. Solved problem by 3d printing 8 wheels with 1/4 inch larger radius.
Thank you very much for this informative video extremely well explained.
@QuickandEasy5minuteApplianceFixes we have a Bosch Dishwasher and have applied these fixes but a white film remains. We make sure our water is HOT before running it, had a plumber come to clean out all the debris in the pipes, try running different cycles, and are using the Cascade liquid detergent. Any other advice, please?
In the manual that came with my new Bosch dishwasher it advises to run the hot water tap in the kitchen sink until the water flows hot BEFORE turning on your dishwasher-sounds kind of silly but it works! The fact that the Bosch is engineered to save on water and electricity was an important consideration to me. I talked with an engineering student before buying my Bosch appliances and found that they are great large appliances If you've ever seen what Europeans pay for their utilities it makes their design understandable. He explained that the dishwasher is designed to use the heat from the heat of the wash and rinse water cycles to dry the dishes, thus no need to pay extra to power a heating element! Pretty clever in my book! I do still notice some water in the tops of mugs or other dishes with a shape not allowing the water to drain off the tops, not a biggie to me.
should not be necessary if you use a single connection to the cold water because the Bosch heats its own water .A hot water connection is not necessary.
I have a Bosch Silence plus 50 dba and I do clean my filter and arms regularly and when I open there is steam coming out and I do run the water hot first, but I still have rings inside the cups where the tea was. My dispenser isn't working but the repair man said to just put the liquid in the machine. I am going to try the cascade pods since you suggest that. I am on my own so really don't use it much until I have the family over, then when I need it I get this problem any more suggestions Thanks
My rinse aid light doesn't shut off and my dishes are not cleaning at all! HELP
If you open the door at 20 minutes do you get a plume of steam?
Hooray! You just saved me a lot of money. Thank you!
I thought the filtering systems on dishwashers were made to prevent the spray-arms from getting clogged? We have a Maytag dishwasher & it's not had 1 clogging issue yet. Also had an Amana dishwasher in the past with no clogging issues either.
It happens when people forget to lock down the filter.
What if there are little hard things stuck inside the spray arms that you can't pull out? I can push them back in but they keep clogging the holes
You can pour water into it from the large hole that the water comes into and then flip it over to let the water and the debris wash out.
If the companies would design a 2 piece spray arm that you could seperate and really clean it, the issue would be resolved
Yep,
That would be a lot better 😊
Thank you in advance. I have Bosch DW, before the steam comes out very hot after washed, but now after long wash, it feels no heat, lots of bubbles on the bottom and some on top ceiling, what happed? Can I fix it?
Thanks Grace,
Can you send this question to my email at: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
I have a similar issue....did you get an answer???
Thanks!
I have issues with the drain hose getting clogged and have gotten to the point i just pop it off and blast compressed air thru it .
Thank you, can you try rinsing the dishes first. Bosch doesn’t do well with dishes with stuff still on them.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Easier said then done . I can't be around all the time for dishes to get rinsed or scraped off better as they should be .
My Bosch Dishwasher issue is this: After loading, press on button, then before door is closed, the dishwasher starts draining (it normally waits until the door is latched). It never moves past this stage.
Thanks Judy,
There’s some water trapped in the drip tray below your dishwasher .
Just need to unplug it and remove the panel below the door and then Sponge out all the water👍
I don't have that Air Gap on top of the sink. I have 3 tiers in the Bosch dishwasher. Did I install it wrong? Can you please reply and help? I also get a lot of noise when it drains else it's very silent. Waiting for your reply. Thank you
Business must be awesome. Sweet two tone Sub there bud.
Thanks,
It was a gift for 20 years of teaching😊
This was SO helpful!! Thank you so much.
You might just have saved us a new dishwasher. Thank you very much. I’ll confirm in 1 hour.
I hope so👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance YUP! WORKED! Thank you very much. At least 3 holes were clogged on each arm. Very simple to to.
Thanks for the very helpful video. I found minor junk in a few of the spray arm holes; however, you mentioned sometimes the dishwasher does not get hot...that is exactly problem I'm having. Dishes not clean, and opened door well into cycle. Water was cold. I had run the hot tap prior to turning dishwasher on. Can you advise?
Additionally, this is a Bosch SHX55M which was working well up until last month when noticed wood panel on right side of cabinet near dishwasher door is warping a bit as if steam was escaping. Seemed to resolve when I made sure I closed door gently but firmly on that side. Now, problem with no heat it seems. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hi JH, the heater relay on the controller needs to have one of its connections resoldered.
Here is a video on how to do it. Then your Bosch will heat up and clean correctly again. This is a very common problem with Bosch dishwashers at about the 7 th year of use: Bosch Dishwasher Runs For Hours-20 Cent Solutionth-cam.com/video/YjomnZu9wEg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks much for the info. I did run a further wash and it seemed to clean with some heat, but I will definitely take a look at the controller to see if the connections need resoldering. Appreciate your help.
Thanks for the very helpful video
You are very welcome😊
I have a question why my diswashing is error in 9 mins and its not dryer even the hot water is not came out. Why?
Hi Sherly, can you send this question to my email at: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
Normaly its a compartment filled with junk in the waterholder cassette on the machines right side. Its a standard problem. E25 or E24
Leaves the dish dirty..
After doing all the checks I fin the biggest problem is forgetting to lock the filter in place _ I just used to place it in its place _ but when started locking it all was fine _ with not locking the dirt just sneaks underneath the rims and squirts back on the dishes
Also not having the filter locked in makes easy access to debris greater than say 1mm diameter which the filter would normally prevent entering the "system" _ I found bits of plastic paper next to the blade outlet and a piece of chipped glass _in the water well "beyond the filter as well as other debris _ some of which interfered with the pumping oit of the water_ so if the filter is "locked" in place nothing should get elsewhere in the "live" water loop
Very nice
Thank you.
Thank you for this!
I've done this and it doesn't help in my situation :( My Bosch leaves a white film on dish washer safe plastics and grit inside my glass dishes. I've also used several brands of dish washer cleaner and I also have used Cascade (the multi color packets) for a couple of years. Any help would be great.
If you open it at 20 minutes do you get a big plume of steam?
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Yes, like burn the flesh hot. Pots and Pans cycle
Excellent , I’d say it’s a clogged airgap near the kitchen faucet or the spray arms are clogged with debris.
Thanks, very helpful
Awesome 😊
Although Bosch states no need to rinse dishes but it makes sense to do it anyway.
I always give my dishes a prescrub. After 7 years, not a single bit of clog in any spray arms or filter. The commercials that say to put your dried food covered dishes in dishwasher are so misleading.
Having trouble getting the upper sprayer to lock back in. What is the trick for getting it to catch and lock back in.
Never mind. I figured it out
Thanks....You are a life-saver!!! I was getting a salty water taste on my glasses due to a clogged filter and stuck detergent door. Solved !!
I did all that and the top shelf still is not cleaning our dishes well. Glasses are cloudy and food stuff is there. We use a rinse aid and it still doesn't help. Any other ideas??
Try running a short cycle with the upper rotator arm removed _ I found a small piece of plastic wedged in the mechanism at the hub of the rotor
Result of lack of basic maintenance?
You’re right.

I have a Bosch SHE43P 02UC/56
It is NOT cleaning or drying well at all. Every glass I take out still has drips of water on it. Silverware still has gunk stuck to it. Also, the dishes on the bottom rack seem to get a layer of 'powder' on them. I'm thinking maybe it's the dish pod not fully dissolving? I'm using finish tablets.
I just moved into this house so I don't know if this problem is new. I couldn't find the air valve but I checked the jets and filter, both clean. Any ideas?
Thanks
The solder joint on the heater relay in the controller needs to be redone.
Mine quit dropping the soap tablet - i do get the ones you recommend. I took apart the arms and cleaned out the screen. It does appear to be filling. Any suggestions?
I would replace the wax motor that powers the soap dispenser .
I don’t put tablet in the dispenser. Just throw on the bottom of washer. Works whole lot better. Try it.
Very nice
Thank you
Hey I had an issue with Bosch dish washer where it was not cleaning well and noticed the spray arms would not spin during the cleaning cycle. This video started me down the right road. Eventually I took the whole machine apart to inspect the pump and impeller to find there was plastic junk, paper, clogging the impeller. I fixed the machine for no cost thanks to this guys videos. Thanks a bunch! Here is a link to his other video on replacing the impeller that lead me to the clog: th-cam.com/video/eAMz06N9-rA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks John👍
MATTEEEE .. Thank you for the video.
My friend’s badly cleaning Bosch doesn’t have the right-side button for resetting.
I believe you hold down the cancel button for 3 seconds to reset.
It also doesn’t have a cancel button.
I hold down my START button for about 5 seconds and it resets to 1 minute to drain.
Put a filter in the inlet. These clogs shouldn't happen with the filter.
My bosch is not turning on, and the control panel doesn't light up whatsoever (touch screen....I don't have the model number), but when I press on, I hear the "Beep". Might you know what's going on here? When I plug it in, I can hear the motor on the bottom running, as if it's feeding water, but it isn't doing anything but making the sound. Please help
I bet the lower drip tray is flooded.
I would remove the kick panel and sponge out the water.
That's exactly what it was, and that's exactly what I did. Now running back to normal. Thanks, man.
Excellent , thanks👍
esau is The Devil ...
Same dishwasher is clouding my glassware. It takes several months, then cloudiness appears. No, it is not calcium - I have tried cleaning it with citric acid. I have been careful, after the first few times, to buy glassware that is extra resistant. Nothing helps. Use Fairy tablets and original salt.
The Bosch rep tells me I am not following instructions, but doesn't tell me what instruction I am not following - and I can not see anything I m doing wrong. I sounds like a cop out to me.
I wonder if rinse aid will help?
If you have the "eco-nonesense" model, or something like that, then the water is tepid. Always wash on Power Wash or Sanitize to get water that is hot enough to dissolve the soap tablet. That was my problem.
Had my new Bosch dishwasher for five months and it cleans like shite! To me a wasted $800.00! Even using sanitize cycle everything still a a residue!
What soap are you using?
Does all the water drain out at the end?
All water drains all filters are clean I use the sanitize program! Albertsons’s brand sos but will switch to cascade tomorrow! Thanks for your reply!🙏🏻
Cascade Complete is really good. I think you’ll be happy
The main problem with this machine is that it is a Bosch. They simply cannot make an effective dishwasher.
Even with everything cleaned out perfectly, poured a lot of boiling water with Melitta cleaner (citric acid), tried a second clean with hot clorinated water, checked pump pressures and cleaned out all parts of drain system...dishes are still not clean.
Yes salt and rinse aid was filled with the proper brands, used the most expensive YES tablets, and sometimes two of them. Used the least economic programs, highest temperatures - did everything I possibly could, but no. This is a Bosch. No good.
My older Electrolux at my old house never ever had these problems. It could look like it had died inside, smell like shit and STILL produce clean dishes.
If you don't believe me - try washing silicone parts for baby bottles. In a Bosch they come out greasy. After a handwash with Yes or using an Electrolux they are clean and feeling all dry.
I’m pretty sure the heater is no longer working.
If you open it up at 20 minutes do you get a big cloud of steam coming out?
Of course the heater is working, or else it wouldn't work at all. I can hardly handle the dishes after a 70° program and yes, lots of steam pile up when opening in the middle of a program.
I'm not saying it's not washing up, it is, just not very good. I expect a certain degree of cleanliness from a machine this expensive, and Bosch is not delivering at all.
Burn the same cash on a Electrolux and just forget the salt or the rinse aid for months and months - you'll hardly notice, and the glasses and silicone stuff are pristine, every time, using a detergent like YES titanium tablets or similar.
I wonder if the air gap up near the sink is partially blocked?
I noticed you had that air vent, but I've never seen any machine have that solution to it here in Sweden. I suppose it has some sort of air vent on the back/top of the machine instead.
I think they’re just used in California.
You might pull the drain hose from the garbage disposer and put it in a bucket as you run the drain cycle. I think it’s not fully draining.
You might also try cascade complete detergent.
My tablets don't dessolve , and dishes stay dirty. Why? I cleaned everything
The heater is no longer heating the water.
Need to replace the controller.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Controller? Not thermostat or heating element? Controller is probably the most expensive part
Haha....offcourse those things are first checked. But what if the machine doesnt clean well, WHITH CLEAN FILTER
Then you check to make sure the spray arms are not clogged with debris next you make sure that at the 10 minute mark there’s enough heat to create steam in the dishwasher and also it’s important to use a soap that will be effective like cascade complete.
Are the rotating arms moving at the same time?
It's a classic example of lazy People this, essentially all they had to do was clean it in the first place as a first resort to see if it could be sorted but can't be even bothered to even do that and would rather call someone out. Literally tells you in the manuals. It's no disrespect to the video or anything. Just irritates me the way some people are.
Colgate😂
It's just 2 days we bought our Bosch dishwasher
I'm shocked the way it cleaned the utensils
Not acceptable esp from brand like Bosch
Won't recommend to any1
It's just 2 days what to say 🤔🤔🤔
Mamta Shekhawat you are right .I have it over 6months even though Ibought a used one .It cleans the dishes very well .Over the year I have used many dishwasher but Bausch is a winner.
@@JannatJannat56 Mamta Shekhawat was saying that the performance was "not acceptable." She wasn't praising it.
Same here. Have you found a solution to it? Mine new dishwasher is also very below expectations. I am wondering where are things going wrong..
@@sunmun482 Have been going NUTS on this one, but I think I finally figured it out and what's going on! Now to find the fix!
