I found I didn't need to disassemble as much as you showed just to replace the impeller motor. I think you only need to remove the kick plate and pull the dishwasher out (and of course turn off the power and water to be safe!) I didn't need to remove the front of the door or the side panels or the sump. The impeller motor just needs to be unplugged and it twists off.
Your video on rodent damage to the Styrofoam float was exactly what I found on my Bosch dishwasher. Thank you so much... It was a cheap and easy repair.
This video showed my problem exactly. Impeller fell right out so clearly this was the problem. I can’t get this part, all I could find was out of stock so I used epoxy to glue it together (“JB Weld” two part epoxy good for 550F). Also had to replace the inner C-tube as it had split at the bottom. Thanks!
@@zazoobah Thank you for replying. I search for JB Weld glue, there are many of them, I don't know which one. Please give me the link or exact version. Thank you
Hi, Scott, the soothing-voiced Fix-it Guy. I have a SHEM63W52N/20. Quit working after 1.5 yrs. After various fixes, I've now settled on circulation motor. Ordered a new one (12008381) and have it ready to swap out by using your video. But I'm confused about impeller. I can't figure out if impeller should be part of, or attached to, circulation motor? I don't see an impeller on new part, so I'm wondering if I need to somehow glue old impeller? I thought that as long as I was going to the trouble of replacing the motor, I would ck out price of impeller (kit?) and do that as well, but it doesn't seem like, for this newer model, there is such a thing? Please forgive me if it will become obvious once I take apart; I just hate to go to all the trouble, only to find out I should have included impeller purchase somehow in repair. I should say that I did previously clean out impeller (found a small amount of pet hair and a bit of debris) and reran dishwasher, but didn't help.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel … TY so much. I really appreciate your response. I swapped out motor and - voila! - dishes are still dirty. Sigh. It was such an arduous project for me, but I never could have done it without your video. Even so, there were many differences bt the model you showed and my model. I don’t know what I’m going to do now, but I’ve learned from my multiple attempts to repair this Bosch that, yes, I can do it; but, no, I don’t want to do it again. 😣I’ll be checking out your website re a remote consult, IF I don’t take a sledgehammer to this DW in the meantime.
Hi great video..I have a very similar dishwasher to the one you're working on. But mine will not draw any water..It cycles as normal and sounds like the pump is trying .it would sometimes wash the dishes properly then all of a sudden not ..does this sound like it could be the impeller or does it sound like it could be another fault?
My impeller seems to be bound up with no obstructions in the drain area. I’m also getting a buzzing noise and standing in the water in the bottom of my SHV4303UC. Is the impeller the likely culprit? I tried running it after draining all the water and it’s getting no water into the system.
Is it possible to remove the whole motor/impeller/lower pump housing without removing the sump housing/upper pump housing (after disengaging the locking tab and rotating the whole motor assembly clockwise) ?
I think you can do it. Just have to remove the four screws in the four corners of the dishwasher that connect the dishwasher frame to the plastic blower assembly. Then when you remove the motor and impeller housing by twisting it you should have room to be able to pull the motor out. Are usually have to separateThe upper frame from the lower plastic housing by about 5 inches to slide the motor out.
Thanks for the quick response. The only thing that might foil this plan is if the motor starter capacitor bracket hits the underside of the tub floor before the motor/impeller housing disengages.
I have three parts that fell out while fixing it and now I don't know where they go back! A red plastic rod, a polystyrene disc with a hole in the centre and a 15cm grey plastic piece with a thimble shape at one end, a cross shape in the middle and it opens out in a V at the other end. I think I can see the red rod on the video, so I'm alright for that, but not idea about the other two!
I figured out that the grey piece linked into the red plastic rod. It's all reassembled now and I ran it on a quick cycle just to see if it worked before I put all the panels back on. Everything seems to be in order, fingers crossed! Thank you for making this video, Scott. I'd have had to scrap the machine otherwise! Also, I had a repairman look at it a few weeks ago and he said it would cost too much to fix, it's feels good to have completed this because it wasn't easy!
Can't believe how much they want for this "kit" ...$140 CAN= ouch. Anyways, the video is awesome and easy to follow. All seems to be working (after a few tense moments) : the only thing extra I would add is when you get it all back together your dishwasher might still think it's on "rinse" and just sits there until you cancel that cycle and do a "reset". :-)
And after all that there is no replacement part available - so it is off to the dishwasher store for the sake of $0.50 worth of plastic and rubber. Everything else is fine.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel shu43c05uc/17 When I contacted Bosch they said I had gotten about twice the life expectancy already but the only thing keeping it from another X number of years is the impeller. I spend about half my life fixing things.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel Thank you. It says zero available. I am going to pull the unit and look - at this point I can do no wrong. May your days be filled with kind people and your nights with good sleep interrupted by even better other things.

This looks like what is up with our DW. One of those take pics as you take it apart so you know what it supposed to look like when it is being put back together. Sure would be nice if I could just pull the unit put it on its back and take off the bottom. A hot assistant with cleavage would stop me from skipping forward. Just an idea.

This is exactly the issue for our dishwasher. Thank you so much! Waiting for the parts to arrive and then... putting it back together
Excellent ,

Thanks so much Richard😊
Just did this same job on a Kenmore Elite, which is really a Bosch. Same deal, impeller in two pieces. Parts ordered through Amazon
Very good Chris,
Please let us know how it goes.
Great video. Definitely helped me fix my issue. Thank you very much.

is it still work well? Can you provide name of glue please?
Yes still working name of glue is in my original comment above
@@zazoobah Thank you for replying. I search for JB Weld glue, there are many of them, I don't know which one. Please give me the link or exact version. Thank you
I believe I used the MarineWeld version. Really most of the epoxy’s would be fine to use - 10 buck at home depot

Hi! I was curious to get a few ever do a remote consult. I have my Bosch out and I feel like I’m close to repair but haven’t figured it out.!

Thanks. Followed your procedure to the letter and all is well.
Wow! Very thorough! I can't thank you enough for this video, Scott. Now, I need to work up the nerve to work on mine. 😊
You can do it😊😊👍
Dang! Why not just build a new dishwasher while your at it! You did a good job but could they design that thing any more complex!!
It's German.....what do you expect?
Thanks for making this video. Very helpful. Cheers.
Thank you😊
Any videos for European dishwashers? I think that I cannot repair a European Siemens water circulating pump, I need to replace it.
I agree, best to replace the whole circulation pump👍

I wonder if you can remove the housing first?
Scott. My Bosch dishwasher turns on runs for a few minutes and turn off. Is this an easy fix.
Hi Ronnie,
It sounds like it may need a new controller that lives inside the upper portion of the door.
I have three parts that fell out while fixing it and now I don't know where they go back!

Great info. Chris😊
I can't even find a kit. Just the whole pump.
I'm technical, but good luck doing this if you never done this before. It's easier just to get a new dishwasher.
This one can be pretty tough
Anyone have luck gluing the impeller halves together with plastic marine epoxy?
And after all that there is no replacement part available - so it is off to the dishwasher store for the sake of $0.50 worth of plastic and rubber. Everything else is fine.

What’s your model number?

It’s strange that the dishwasher doesn’t have a salt pot ?
If it did, I’d find it easier to remove the tank assy
