I have a Bosch dishwasher, SHU 8805. Was not getting water so I read and found that likely problem was a malfunction in the water inlet valve. I bought a new one and installed it, but the problem continues. There is a green wire (about 5 inches long) to the inlet valve that is not connected on the other side. Assume this is the ground wire. Where does it connect on the dishwasher side? Cannot find a wiring diagram online. Any assistance is appreciated.

Green wires are usually earth wire where is the wire going to? also the water valve is not really the problem, if its not turning on water but doing the rest, it will be the relay on the main pcb board these can fail, they run on a 12v supply and send power to the valve to open 12v opens the switch so the mains voltage can turn on the valve at the right times. the switches are common to fail as they can arc over time and lock closed so cannot connect again. if you know how to solder you can remove the old one and replace with a new one you can buy these relays on ebay or other electronic stores there are many types on the one you have is a part number buy the same part. to locate the right relay as there are meany use a meter and connect one end to the positive wire on the vale and the other end to a random relay on the pcb checking them all till you get a reading or beep depending on what settings you use, then change that one for new one.

SOURCE: Bosch SHU 4000 series dishwasher; Water keeps on filling

Follow-up: I was able to fix the problem on Bosch model # SHU 4002UC. Purchased water inlet valve (part number 425458) from Sears Parts Center. I required the Sears unit number from the original invoice as Sears computer system apparently cannot identify the Bosch model number. The valve is as described by meyerjr above; however it is located at the bottom front of the machine so could be replaced (not so easily) without removing the machine. Cost of part was $30.50 Cdn including tax.

Clogged Bosch SHU 9920 dishwasher

-Sounds like the pump is not working properly or the drain line you connect to sink directly instead to the breath cap before to the sink. Or the breath cap locate too low.
-Make sure the breath cap is mount higher than the line to the sink. (Or as high as possible) This is to prevent any water from the sink pour into the dishwasher.

Good luck

Bosch SMS 4012. Water very slow to enter machine

The solenoid valves do gum up. Replace that and it should work fine. They are not very expensive. You could try to clean it, but it is easier to just replace it.

My bosch dishwasher is not filling up with water. Where is the inlet filter?

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Based on your description, " my bosch dishwasher is not filling up with water. Where is the inlet filter? "... and to answer your question, the issue is likely with the inlet/water valve.

**To remedy this you will need to replace the valve, not surprising for Bosch unfortunately**


This is what to look for..i.e.

e601791.jpg

As long as your model number is indeed SHU8805 series, this info below will be accurate.

Original part is # 425458. It usually retails for about $20 - $30USD at places such as "searspartsdirect.com" "repairclinic.com" to name a couple.

**Before attempting to repair the unit please turn off the power and the water supply to the dishwasher...safety first**


If you remove the lower kick plate/toe panel, you will see the inlet valve to your left...


i.e.

Replacing it or to check for debris in the filter/screen at the inlet is pretty straight forward. Here`s how...

1) undo the water line. ( here you can visually inspect the screen in the valve...if nothing noted, you'll likely need to replace it as follows )

2) Remove the two #20 torx screws fastening it in place.

3) the feed tube to the machine at the back of the valve and swap it with the new one.

and

Once the new one is in you should be good to go.

Let me know if you need any further assistance, otherwise good luck.

Thanks for visiting FixYa.

Regards,


Macmarkus :)

Water wants to drain and keeps trying

Sounds like anti flood system has triggered (polystireen float and micro switch) that puts the washer in pump out mode only and shuts the inlet water off. You need to look at the bottom of the washer and check that water leak / spill is not causing the float to activate. Clear the water and fix leak (pipe or pipe clamp) and this should fix the problem.

Bosch SHU 4000 series dishwasher; Water keeps on filling

The inlet valve will be at the dishwasher end of the (hot) water inlet line. On this dishwasher I ~believe~ the inlet valve is near the rear of the unit. That means that you will need to pull the dishwasher out to get to it. Remove power from the dishwasher as soon as you can before messing with the unit.
Just past the connection of the supply hose and the connection on the dishwasher, there will be the valve (a solenoid valve with two wires coming out of it.) That is the little beast that has most likely failed.
Good Luck!

Bosh dish waher

Does it make the same noise when it's just filling or just when the motor starts? Usually just filling the dishwasher opens a valve and doesn't run the pump. If it makes noise during filling the valve may be getting hot and shorting, or may have a loose connection, or air may be in the water supply line causing the valve to bounce. If it takes a long time to fill the filter may be clogged.
