How do I access the mains cable termination on a Bosch SMS 4462 Dishwasher?

  • 1 more comment 
  • Eric Woodward Aug 28, 2008

    The bottom panel on the dishwasher in question is fixed by four screws, two on the panel itself, concealed by white covers and two more screws under the door hidden away. I have now accessed the mains and I am going to replace the cable, as; after a wash (is this important?) when you move the top drawer back in, the circuit breaker blows.

    All that I can assume is that the cable is in someway faulty.

    I cannot see any other wires or cables near the point where the top drawer closes and impacts on the interior casing.

    Thanks very much for your help.

    I shall replace the mains cable as a matter of course and see if that solves the problem. in the meantime, I shall go and wipe the kitchen floor and get rid of all the water that has leaked!

    Thanks again,

    regards,

My bosch dishwasher will not drain and makes a humming noise

Humming noise is an indication of your drain motor getting power but not spinning. Either your drain pump is defective and needs to be replaced, or something is stuck in the pump preventing it from draining out the water. Either way you will have to take the dishwasher out and get at the pump from the bottom of the machine.

Water in bottom of bosch dishwasher will not drain. How do I get this water to drain

Hi

Dishwasher not draining issue occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump. To access the drain pump, please follow the procedure---
1. Drain pumps are mounted to sumps in the front of dishwashers --they're easily accessible from the front of dishwashers by removing toe kicks.
2. Tools needed: small flat blade screwdriver (for unlocking terminals).
3. Remove toe kick/base cover, pull up terminal cover and disconnect wires (using screwdriver to unlock locking terminals).
4. To remove pump, pull latch (on circular collar) & rotate pump clockwise (cw).
5. To install new pump, insert @ 2:00 position & rotate counterclockwise (ccw).
6. Clean water & debris from base, then check float operation.
7. Connect wires, then install base cover & toe kick.
Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

No manual for my dishwasher

This is not the kind of thing you want to tinker with without a manual. You'll need the model# and serial # to contact Bosch and get a manual.

No fill - drain pump running - I assume stuck float switch

remove the bottom plate of the dishwasher and the bottom pan is revealed. reason the drain pump is running will be that this pan has water in it ie you have a leak. mop out the water and dishwasher will work - switch off mains when you do this
