My broken dishwasher brought me here,its at least 12 years old but after watching this I may see if I can stretch a few more years out of it. Many thx 👍
An oldie, but a goodie. I was able to sort out the drain pump not working by getting in under the dishwasher the way you showed. Hair and bits of steel wool accumulated from 10 years of washing had wound around the impaler, which I was able to unwind out. Your pictures are so clear. Thank you for posting!
Fantastic, Charlie, you just saved me £750! I was all set to go and buy a new Bosch dishwasher when my 15 year old Neff one (identical to yours) failed to empty the dirty water, but used your tip to clear the impeller on the pump and all is good, now working again. Didn't even need to replace the pump! Great video, glad I found it!
Charlie, you have an incredible way of making rather dull job interesting and compulsive watching. Your camera work, detailed commentary and editing is always top notch. A great satisfying job. Well done.
Aw, thanks Ian. The editing tends to take AGES so I really appreciate you taking the time to send me that - it helps to keep me motivated Thanks for watching my vids 👍
Charlie your video on this is the best that I've watched on TH-cam. I guess that you don't need to remove the decorative panel if you're only changing the pump. I loved the tip about the sensor float.
Excellent video thanks. I recently had an issue with the drain pump on my tumble dryer, instead of having the confidence to tackle the job myself I paid someone to do it and they arrived with a new drain pump, unplugged the old one with one small connector at the back and plugged in the new one, all done. I could’ve saved myself £40 in labour if I’d done it myself.
Thanks. Yes it's so tempting to get someone out, but a bit of research and you can do a lot of maintenance yourself, and you feel so epic afterwards 👍🏻
Excellent video and excellent job. I was worried how I'll fix our Bosch dishwasher when it eventually goes it is also integrated and thanks for explaining how to take it out and apart, I've saved this video for future reference now. Thank you so much
hello. thanks for posting the very video i needed. Got the pump out in under 6 mins and now to order a new one. Half the splines had snapped off the impeller best wishes and thanks again. mike
I did replace a 2 pump one for a washing machine and one for a dishwasher let me tell you something Charlie there's nothing worse then integrated appliances thanks for sharing this video with us stay safe.
Well, that was educational. Bosch is touted as being a high end appliance but it seems they use the same cheap plastic parts as lower end products. You make repairing the unit look so damn easy; Bosch should be paying you because you make their product look better than it is. Really enjoyed the video, thank you.
D'you know what, Ray, we've really struggled without it the last few weeks, but I didn't want to say anything for fear of what people might think. I lived for a few years in my late 20s without one. They're a crucial bit of kit in my opinion but I'm guessing you find it quite therapeutic, satisfying....?
One thing I do is to run our dishwasher empty on the maximum temperature about once a month. Helps flush out any gunk before it has a chance to cause a problem. BTW, love the channel Charlie, almost at that magic 200K subscribers!
That is such a good idea Matthew, and it might clear out that gunk you might have seen in that white plastic pipe mechanism you might have seen on the side. Thanks, I really appreciate that - yes should be there in a week or so 👍
Shop around for all parts, my dryer float chamber £54 on espares £25 elsewhere. I’ve used valspar paint on shed loads of projects , no problems I love the stuff
Thanks for the video. You helped me identify what the plastic panel for the feet was all about. Very confusing design overall. Mine isn’t Bosch either, just a generic design from 2012, though has a nice plastic panel underneath for easier access. Thanks again for the tips!
Great video, thanks, I don't know if they are the same company or something but the innards of that bosh are basically the same as our neff, so this is a completely applicable vid for that too.
Thanks John. Yes, so many manufacturers have very similar components. I recently had a problem with the float valve not draining the machine - it was like it was sticking. So out it came into its side again and I bought a new float from Bosch, which came with a small micro switch. When I took the old one out you could see a slight burn on one of the switch wires. With the new one in, problem solved - just in case you encounter something similar.
Another good practical video Charlie. Like you I have done numerous fixes to my Bosch Dishwasher over the years, and my kitchen fitter didn’t fit the aluminium panel and botched the door panel fitting with standard wood screws. Nothing like completing a full dishwasher overhaul. You realise how much daily hammer these appliances get. 👍🏼
Thanks Paul. Completely agree. In a world where systems are key and we have so few in our family lives, I often think that dishwashers are the one system that we have in place that we couldn't do without. We've been seriously struggling without it these last couple of weeks, and just yesterday I had to order a new mesh filter, because the old one had split, which probably didn't help the pump much!
when i did my first kitchen, i was with someone who's been doing it 20+ years. The integrated dishwasher came with some foil tape which he said to always fit to the underside of any dishwasher worktop
Exactly. When it broke I thought "sod it, it's 10 years old, I'll get a new one". I then looked at the prices and was straight on the phone to the spare parts department 😂
Oops. And the crumbs on the counter top in the opening few seconds... The fridge is also due some attention but it might have to wait a few weeks. Thanks 👍
Charlie that was an excellent video and I can only imagine how much fun you had doing that.😉 I think your kitchen fitter let you down with the installation of the dishwasher and was probably flummoxed by the granite top. He may not have actually experienced how hot these dishwashers get and the steam impingement under the worktop. My kitchen fitter left the standard 600 mm space for me to install my old integrated dishwasher - except when I went to fit it and I measured it was 5 mm smaller than the dishwasher😳 Too late everything was in (including worktops hob scribed end panels et al and would have been a nightmare to rejig it all. Ending up taking one unit out, taking it apart and trimming 8mm of all the cross members and horizontal top and bottom pieces with the tracksaw and then reassembling - you cannot see the join..😂 I always fit my dishwashers with a slight gap (say 5mm) below the worktop (to allow some air circulation) and just set the integrated door at the required height to align with the base unit run. Your old pump failed because the shaft seal failed and allowed ‘process water and detritus’ into the driving end. I am curious why you did not buy the door seal from Bosch and the pump from the other internet seller - saving yourself 25%? 🤔 Anyhoo good call on doing the repair if it survives another 2-3 years you are well ahead of the game.👍
Thanks Norman. As ever, a very useful, insightful comment 👍🏻 You must have been furious at the time that he left the cavity too narrow, but massive credit for the way you went about resolving the problem - where there's a will, there's a way!
Charlie you would make a good kitchen fitter --/my old job/ just about to give you a heads up on the steam protection strip--important on wood/chipboard worktops.. jolly hot when the door is opened... Job well done -- keep them coming always a joy. GO SAFE Graham.
Thanks Graham. Yes I see that. I should probably have put it on but it would have lowered the dishwasher a few mm as it was bang in the way of the mounting brackets.
Brilliant video! I knew my pump was buggered but as you said, there are different versions with different accesses. I clocked the tabs on the bottom panel and assumed, but didn't want to break anything, took me a while to find your video! Thank you so much, concise and easy to follow along. Don't normally leave comments but since the dislike button has disappeared, DIY videos like yours having a "low" number of likes and not seeing the ratio there might put people off... Hope my comment might help assure people! Best of luck with the channel bud :) not only the help but your demeanor made me sub
Thanks buddy, really appreciate the comment and the sub. It's difficult to find the time to comment as you say (I'm guilty of it too) but you don't know how important they are in keeping me motivated to do this 👊 Today's job is fixing the tumble dryer 🤦🏻♂️
Been having drainage issues with my Indesit dishwasher, just typical mines does not have that wee flap bit you can access the pump fan to see if there is anything clogging it, think the pump probs needs replaced
Nice job indeed. Too bad the pump lasted only 10 years. I had Miele before... I changed to a newer model even though it was still functioning very well after.... 32 years. Never had any issues, so I put my faith in Miele for almost everything.
Thanks for that, Philip. That, combined with some of the comments in this feed about Bosch make me think I'll look at Miele next time. Had quite a nice Siemens when I lived in London. It's as if they all use the same components though as they look so similar, but I guess your observation is testament to the fact that they aren't.
As a commercial catering engineer, I can say that was a good job well done, sometimes the job would be a load easier if the people that design these machines actually worked on them 🤨
Couldn't agree more, Michael and I edited a bit out in the middle where I was complaining about that! There's a door catch on our Belling oven that I had to take most of the oven apart to replace. I was complaining to an engineer about it a while later and he said it was the hardest component of all to replace and he said he did it by unscrewing the old one, letting it fall into the back of the oven and then dangling the new one on a string down inside the oven and swinging it around to get the screws to locate into it as it dangled there. Ridiculous design!
Me too. I have repaired dozen of household stuff for myself and friends and sometimes you wonder, who designed this. Other thing I noticed was, that populair trendy expensive brands like Boretti, are made of shitty components and horribly finished inside 11
Thanks Charlie. Congrats on dealing with that mess. Looked horrendous. We have a Miele non-integrated machine. Over the last year or so I've noticed stinky wastewater intermittently backs up in it when not in use. Most of the time it doesn't rise high enough to trigger the anti-flood mechanism so it just sits there looking and smelling gross. Doesn't seem to be any discernable pattern to it. Also, it very occasionally seems to leak from somewhere under the rear at the back (when not in use). The machine is in the corner of the kitchen and we know it's leaked when the carpet at the edge of the adjacent living room soaks up the water from under the stud wall. :-) The water leak when it happens doesn't seem smelly so might have two separate issues. Looks like I might have to open our machine up soon.
Thanks Neil. Yes, sounds like you've got a similar problem. You want to get on top of that as it will be making the living areas a bit damp. Make sure you regularly clean the filters, click off that white cover I showed to make sure you've not got any food or other stuff caught in the pump impeller, and maybe give it an empty run and have a closer look at what's going on. Also, it's worth unclipping the waste pipe to make sure you haven't got any blockages in it. Sounds like that could be one of the problems. I stress I'm not a dishwasher expert, but you learn quite a lot immersing yourself in a job like this 👍
And as if by magic, 2 weeks after watching this video my 6 yr old Bosch integrated dishwasher is displaying the E15 fault code and pump permanently running, suggesting a leak underneath. Hopefully a faulty float sensor?. But at least I now know how to remove the dishwasher and access the components. Thanks
@@CharlieDIYte When I pulled out the machine and lifted it onto my workbench I caught it on something and some parts fell off. Wasn't sure what they were or where they came from so I ended up replacing the machine. Never mind!!
My drain pump in my Bosch dishwasher is turning (plastic fins are all there) but not draining water . The pathways are seemingly clean. Is it the rubber valve near this pump which is responsible? It seems intact. Thank you.
Great video. The main lesson here is never buy a machine with a plastic tub! Unfortunately they're increasingly common :( Dishes don't seem to come out as dry either although using rinse aid (not expensive combo tablets) helps. Our last 2 kitchen companies threw in a "free" dishwasher with no reduction if we didn't take it. Luckily last time around it was a progress (rebadged Electrolux) and has a steel tub and easy to replace push on side and bottom door seals with no need for any disassembly.
Great observation my friend. I didn't even realise steel tubs were a thing, but I'll be making that a must, for the next machine, whenever that is. Out of interest was that machine of yours free standing or integrated? The integrated seem a lot less easy to disassemble 👍
Thanks, mate. Not really, although the jeopardy I guess is the £70 odd quid I spent on the spares, if I break it (and the £500-700 I'd have to spend on a new one!) A funny story, I thought my Belling electric oven with gas hob had died, and when the engineer came round I have rarely been more embarrassed when I suddenly remembered the spur switch I had checked was the wrong one and someone had simply switched the oven off !! Luckily he had another thing to fix on it, and I saved some face when I told him I had replaced the door catch and was I being stupid in having had to take half the oven apart to get to it. I had started videoing it but gave up because it was getting ridiculous. He said replacing the door catch was literally the hardest thing to do on the oven and that the only way he had found to do it was to take the hob off and dangle a new catch down the inside on a string and try and grab it from the front.
@@CharlieDIYte Great save there :D I think we all had a moment where we innocently stood in front of the repair guy as he "flicks a switch" and things start to work, almost an equivalent of and IT guy; have you tried turning it of and on again :) but those kind of moments leave us with fun anecdotes if you want to take them as such and are in my opinion very educational for our future selves. Keep up the excellent work! and I hope the oven still works :D
I make a point of cleaning the filter in the base at least every month and using a bottle of supermarket own dishwasher cleaner. when my pump / heater unit was replaces under warranty it was as clean as a whistle. the other thing to avoid is over or excessive use of rinse aid. With modern 3 part tablets it has very little use and used in excessive quanties it can cause excessive foaming.
That's a good point about the rinse aid, Paul, having just topped mine up this afternoon, although I am using Ecover tablets (less powerful) in a futile effort to keep the bacteria alive in the septic tank...
another great vlog. i would be scared to touch the insides incase i did more harm than good with it. do you have any videos relating to maintenance for washing machines and tumble dryers please. take care
My 30 year old dishwasher is still going strong, she does hate it when I call her that. All jokes aside, how are your kitchen cabinet paint job holding up. Thinking of doing mine after watching your video during lockdown 2.0
To be honest, that Valspar is pretty hopeless stuff. It's chipped in so many places. My advice would be a) give it a good degrease with sugar soap before you start b) give the units a light sand with some 180 grit sand paper to give them a good key c) use Zinsser BIN to prime them d) then for the top coat, have a trawl through the comments to my vid as there are some great suggestions - like www.tikkurila.co.uk/decorative_paints and Bedec MSP, or you could just get a good durable acrylic eggshell from Johnstones or even an oil based if you want it to be even harder wearing. The pros use a 2 part system, I believe.
It looked like doing home open heart surgery - possible but bloody risky for amateurs. I'd hate to think what my non-Bosch dishwasher looks like underneath or in the gubbins.
Thanks for the video Charlie, very informative as usual. I have had to have my integrated dishwasher out recently, as one of the door spring ties failed. Dishwashers do seem to be designed to trap a lot of crap don't they, mine not being a Bosch unit but very similar in concept. As the parts were quite expensive and the machine pretty old, did you consider replacing the machine?
Hi David. Yes, I did a bit of soul searching on this, as the lady on the phone at Bosch said the parts for a 10 year old machine like mine would probably only be available for a few more years. So I thought, I'll buy a new one, but when I found out I'd be looking at somewhere between £500 and £900 I thought I'd chance my luck with £77 of spare parts. I'm pretty confident with the repairs it will last another few years, but we shall see....
Love your video. It gives me hope..... My Bosch Series 100 DW won't drain. There is no debris in filter or impeller as the impeller moves when turned by hand. There is no hum when lifting the float although some residual water sort of spits in the filter well. There is power to the unit, I believe, since the controls light up on the control panel. I"ve ordered a new pump after watching your video. Could the pump be burned out? Do you think replacing the pump will fix the problem? Thoughts?
Let's hope so. It concerned me that there was no hum, but maybe the water spitting is evidence there's power to the pump, and I think you've done the right thing because the price of the pump is considerably less than a call out and if that isn't the problem, at least then you'll know. Good luck with the repair. Let me know if it works. 🤞🏻
@@CharlieDIYte Thanks for your prompt response. I, too, am worried there is no hum. But, I am going to replace pump and keep my fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you for your video....
@@CharlieDIYte Replacing the pump did not work and I was had to purchase a new machine. I did return the part, though, for refund less 25% restocking fee. It was still worth it to me given the cost of a home repair visit. Thanks for this wonderful video.
@@mariannemcenrue6527 Marianne, I'm at a similar point with mine now. A couple of repairs to the float valve since this video and it's really given up the ghost now. At least you knew you could have done no more before replacing it.
My 13 year old Whirlpool Dishwasher vents steam through a small vent on the front of the door above the handle and controls. If I hadn't been standing in front of it during the dry cycle one day I probably wouldn't have ever noticed. That wouldn't have been possible on your unit since it's designed to be integrated with your cabinets.
My machine washes the dishes but doesn't drain. It's not blocked. I was wondering if the same pump circulates the water in the machine as well as drains it? If that is so, what could it be?
It could be the pump has burnt out? Does it kick in if you pull the mushroom shaped cover (float switch) up in the bottom of the machine. If you can hear it but nothing happens then the pump is jammed. Or you could have a leak like I did which might have burnt out the float switch. Or its the control board?
I don't need the waste water pump on my Bosch integrated dishwasher changed......i don't need the door seal of my Bosch integrated dishwasher changed.....i don't even HAVE a Bosch integrated dishwasher.....but by god I WILL watch a You Tube video on how to carry out the job
@@CharlieDIYte this is the message Hi there Charlie. Please can you help me. We had a problem with our pressure control valve on our geyser so my hubby went and bought a new one at our local build it store and fitted it himself. Ever since he fitted it, whenever we run the hot tap in the bathroom only, the overflow pipe drips slightly. He has been up in the roof numerous times to see if theres leaking and theres nothing. The drip tray is bone dry, the pipes are all dry. No leaks anywhere. Its only when we run the hot bathroom tap. And it only drips for less than a minute then stops. A local DIY guy here said some pressure valves do that but we have never known that to happen before. HELP please. Thanks so much Val Borchardt South Africa

I was complaining to an engineer about it a while later and he said it was the hardest component of all to replace and he said he did it by unscrewing the old one, letting it fall into the back of the oven and then dangling the new one on a string down inside the oven and swinging it around to get the screws to locate into it as it dangled there. Ridiculous design!
Me too. I have repaired dozen of household stuff for myself and friends and sometimes you wonder, who designed this.
Other thing I noticed was, that populair trendy expensive brands like Boretti, are made of shitty components and horribly finished inside 11
Superb video, thanks for uploading
You're welcome Jeremy. Thanks for the Comment 👍
Job well done, good for another 10 years !!
Let's hope so. There's meant to be very little that can go wrong on these machines, but there were quite a lot of components, when I took it apart...
Can you sent me to the right video to change the lower door seal, please and thank you. I love your educative video
Great video, did you empty the salt water before doing this ?
Great vid, just what I needed!
Thanks. Really glad you found it useful 👍
Great job Charlie, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Barry 👍🏻
Thanks Charlie. Congrats on dealing with that mess. Looked horrendous. We have a Miele non-integrated machine. Over the last year or so I've noticed stinky wastewater intermittently backs up in it when not in use. Most of the time it doesn't rise high enough to trigger the anti-flood mechanism so it just sits there looking and smelling gross. Doesn't seem to be any discernable pattern to it. Also, it very occasionally seems to leak from somewhere under the rear at the back (when not in use). The machine is in the corner of the kitchen and we know it's leaked when the carpet at the edge of the adjacent living room soaks up the water from under the stud wall. :-) The water leak when it happens doesn't seem smelly so might have two separate issues. Looks like I might have to open our machine up soon.
Thanks Neil. Yes, sounds like you've got a similar problem. You want to get on top of that as it will be making the living areas a bit damp. Make sure you regularly clean the filters, click off that white cover I showed to make sure you've not got any food or other stuff caught in the pump impeller, and maybe give it an empty run and have a closer look at what's going on. Also, it's worth unclipping the waste pipe to make sure you haven't got any blockages in it. Sounds like that could be one of the problems. I stress I'm not a dishwasher expert, but you learn quite a lot immersing yourself in a job like this 👍
Neil you need a syphon breaker on the drain stack.
Fabulous, thank you for sharing. I'm about to do a similar job myself.
Good luck - and thanks for letting me know. Glad you found it useful.
How Charlie, how to run a drainage cycle to retest without complete filling on a Bosch similar to the one you worked on please
Mine starts up, but that's it. And i had the same problem as you. Any idea what my problem is?
Great video Charlie 👍
Thanks James 👍
I have this issue.. I have a pump in hand now and have tried to remove the under tray before with no luck.
Where from are you sir ? Absolutely amazing job
Thanks for good advise Charlie. Very helpfull.
There's never a perfect solution. Yes during manufacture but not during operation and the lithium is also recyclable.
Excellent work mate. Why the hell would they use plastic in such high heat areas?!
And as if by magic, 2 weeks after watching this video my 6 yr old Bosch integrated dishwasher is displaying the E15 fault code and pump permanently running, suggesting a leak underneath. Hopefully a faulty float sensor?. But at least I now know how to remove the dishwasher and access the components. Thanks
Yes, go for it. The only hassle is having to wash the dishes whilst you're doing the repair 😉
Did you manage to replace the float sensor? I did the same thing on mine a couple of months after making this video.
@@CharlieDIYte When I pulled out the machine and lifted it onto my workbench I caught it on something and some parts fell off. Wasn't sure what they were or where they came from so I ended up replacing the machine. Never mind!!
How do you fix an integrated dishwasher cabinet door that has been drilled a few millimeters too high?
My drain pump in my Bosch dishwasher is turning (plastic fins are all there) but not draining water . The pathways are seemingly clean. Is it the rubber valve near this pump which is responsible? It seems intact. Thank you.
Great video. The main lesson here is never buy a machine with a plastic tub! Unfortunately they're increasingly common :( Dishes don't seem to come out as dry either although using rinse aid (not expensive combo tablets) helps. Our last 2 kitchen companies threw in a "free" dishwasher with no reduction if we didn't take it. Luckily last time around it was a progress (rebadged Electrolux) and has a steel tub and easy to replace push on side and bottom door seals with no need for any disassembly.
Great observation my friend. I didn't even realise steel tubs were a thing, but I'll be making that a must, for the next machine, whenever that is. Out of interest was that machine of yours free standing or integrated? The integrated seem a lot less easy to disassemble 👍
@@CharlieDIYte Integrated one with a door that slides up when you open it - avoids the need for a cut out in your kickboard.
fantastic video Charlie! When fixing appliances do you have a fear of "breaking them" more than they already are?
Thanks, mate. Not really, although the jeopardy I guess is the £70 odd quid I spent on the spares, if I break it (and the £500-700 I'd have to spend on a new one!) A funny story, I thought my Belling electric oven with gas hob had died, and when the engineer came round I have rarely been more embarrassed when I suddenly remembered the spur switch I had checked was the wrong one and someone had simply switched the oven off !! Luckily he had another thing to fix on it, and I saved some face when I told him I had replaced the door catch and was I being stupid in having had to take half the oven apart to get to it. I had started videoing it but gave up because it was getting ridiculous. He said replacing the door catch was literally the hardest thing to do on the oven and that the only way he had found to do it was to take the hob off and dangle a new catch down the inside on a string and try and grab it from the front.
@@CharlieDIYte Great save there :D I think we all had a moment where we innocently stood in front of the repair guy as he "flicks a switch" and things start to work, almost an equivalent of and IT guy; have you tried turning it of and on again :) but those kind of moments leave us with fun anecdotes if you want to take them as such and are in my opinion very educational for our future selves. Keep up the excellent work! and I hope the oven still works :D
I make a point of cleaning the filter in the base at least every month and using a bottle of supermarket own dishwasher cleaner. when my pump / heater unit was replaces under warranty it was as clean as a whistle. the other thing to avoid is over or excessive use of rinse aid. With modern 3 part tablets it has very little use and used in excessive quanties it can cause excessive foaming.
That's a good point about the rinse aid, Paul, having just topped mine up this afternoon, although I am using Ecover tablets (less powerful) in a futile effort to keep the bacteria alive in the septic tank...
another great vlog. i would be scared to touch the insides incase i did more harm than good with it. do you have any videos relating to maintenance for washing machines and tumble dryers please. take care
Thanks Peter. Unfortunately not. They're all do-able, but it's just finding the time, isn't it!
@@CharlieDIYte totally agree, always takes longer than what is expected it will take
My 30 year old dishwasher is still going strong, she does hate it when I call her that.
All jokes aside, how are your kitchen cabinet paint job holding up. Thinking of doing mine after watching your video during lockdown 2.0
To be honest, that Valspar is pretty hopeless stuff. It's chipped in so many places. My advice would be a) give it a good degrease with sugar soap before you start b) give the units a light sand with some 180 grit sand paper to give them a good key c) use Zinsser BIN to prime them d) then for the top coat, have a trawl through the comments to my vid as there are some great suggestions - like www.tikkurila.co.uk/decorative_paints and Bedec MSP, or you could just get a good durable acrylic eggshell from Johnstones or even an oil based if you want it to be even harder wearing. The pros use a 2 part system, I believe.
@@CharlieDIYte thanks for the detailed reply
@@frazer26 You're welcome. And it was meant to be 180 grit. Don't know where the 9 came from 😏
Another quite interesting video Charlie. Please keep up the good work. :-)
Thanks Daniel. I'll do my best 👍
Hi Mr Charlie, totally off subject, sorry but have you reviewed a multi cutter,,, purchase pending and would welcome you views.
From which brand the bit holder you are using?
I believe that was a De Walt. You can pull the black collar down and use it as an offset bit.
@@CharlieDIYte thanks!
There's a mod kit for the back & R/H side of the dishwasher where the leaks occur. It's a known Bosch issue.
It looked like doing home open heart surgery - possible but bloody risky for amateurs. I'd hate to think what my non-Bosch dishwasher looks like underneath or in the gubbins.
It's actually not that complicated, but I hear what you say. 👍
As I learned today, dishwasher manufacturers seem to love using metal panels with unnessarilly sharp edges. Take care guys!
Thanks for the video Charlie, very informative as usual. I have had to have my integrated dishwasher out recently, as one of the door spring ties failed. Dishwashers do seem to be designed to trap a lot of crap don't they, mine not being a Bosch unit but very similar in concept. As the parts were quite expensive and the machine pretty old, did you consider replacing the machine?
Hi David. Yes, I did a bit of soul searching on this, as the lady on the phone at Bosch said the parts for a 10 year old machine like mine would probably only be available for a few more years. So I thought, I'll buy a new one, but when I found out I'd be looking at somewhere between £500 and £900 I thought I'd chance my luck with £77 of spare parts. I'm pretty confident with the repairs it will last another few years, but we shall see....
Love your video. It gives me hope..... My Bosch Series 100 DW won't drain. There is no debris in filter or impeller as the impeller moves when turned by hand. There is no hum when lifting the float although some residual water sort of spits in the filter well. There is power to the unit, I believe, since the controls light up on the control panel. I"ve ordered a new pump after watching your video. Could the pump be burned out? Do you think replacing the pump will fix the problem? Thoughts?
Let's hope so. It concerned me that there was no hum, but maybe the water spitting is evidence there's power to the pump, and I think you've done the right thing because the price of the pump is considerably less than a call out and if that isn't the problem, at least then you'll know. Good luck with the repair. Let me know if it works. 🤞🏻
@@CharlieDIYte Thanks for your prompt response. I, too, am worried there is no hum. But, I am going to replace pump and keep my fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you for your video....
@@CharlieDIYte Replacing the pump did not work and I was had to purchase a new machine. I did return the part, though, for refund less 25% restocking fee. It was still worth it to me given the cost of a home repair visit. Thanks for this wonderful video.
@@mariannemcenrue6527 Marianne, I'm at a similar point with mine now. A couple of repairs to the float valve since this video and it's really given up the ghost now. At least you knew you could have done no more before replacing it.
@@CharlieDIYte True. And I am grateful to have seen your video to help me problem solve the situation.
Thanks.
Yup 👍 going to hire a technician 🧑🔧 lolol
How to check a drainage cycle on a Bosch similar to the one you worked on
Can't you just put it on a very quick 29 minute wash like I did?
Very useful thanks
My 13 year old Whirlpool Dishwasher vents steam through a small vent on the front of the door above the handle and controls. If I hadn't been standing in front of it during the dry cycle one day I probably wouldn't have ever noticed. That wouldn't have been possible on your unit since it's designed to be integrated with your cabinets.
Do you no longer have George? He would have made light work of that undraining dishwasher.
And he did, but I stupidly deleted the footage, so this footage with the sponge was from 2 years ago 🙄
@@CharlieDIYte ah gotcha
@@BinarySecond Also, better to show it with a sponge as most people don't have a George 👍🏻
My machine washes the dishes but doesn't drain. It's not blocked. I was wondering if the same pump circulates the water in the machine as well as drains it? If that is so, what could it be?
It could be the pump has burnt out? Does it kick in if you pull the mushroom shaped cover (float switch) up in the bottom of the machine. If you can hear it but nothing happens then the pump is jammed. Or you could have a leak like I did which might have burnt out the float switch. Or its the control board?
@@CharlieDIYte Thanks. So it's either the drain pump, the float switch or the control board. Guess it's a process of elimination.
I don't need the waste water pump on my Bosch integrated dishwasher changed......i don't need the door seal of my Bosch integrated dishwasher changed.....i don't even HAVE a Bosch integrated dishwasher.....but by god I WILL watch a You Tube video on how to carry out the job
Thanks. It is a bit niche to be fair but I'm very grateful you watched it 👍🏻👊🏻
very good
Thanks 👍
That’s useful I have the same unit.
Ah, good stuff. Any problems with it?
Missing rollers of the bottom tray other than that all good 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
Thank you.
You're welcome 👍🏻
Thanks for the update Charlie....great job there....btw i sent you a message via Instagram....take care
Thanks Val. I'll take a look at that. Sorry, I struggle to keep track of all the messages.
@@CharlieDIYte this is the message
Hi there Charlie.
Please can you help me.
We had a problem with our pressure control valve on our geyser so my hubby went and bought a new one at our local build it store and fitted it himself.
Ever since he fitted it, whenever we run the hot tap in the bathroom only, the overflow pipe drips slightly. He has been up in the roof numerous times to see if theres leaking and theres nothing. The drip tray is bone dry, the pipes are all dry. No leaks anywhere. Its only when we run the hot bathroom tap.
And it only drips for less than a minute then stops.
A local DIY guy here said some pressure valves do that but we have never known that to happen before. HELP please.
Thanks so much
