Bosch Dishwasher SGS47E02GB circulation pump issue

Hi, I have a Bosch Dishwasher SGS47E02GB which I *think* has an issue with the circulation pump. The cycle starts by pumping out water OK, then I assume filling (it gurgles for 20 secs) then when the main washing cycle should start the machine emits a static 'buzz' and the washing does not commence - the timer clicks round like usual, when it gets to the empty cycle water is pumped out fine. So it appears water is getting in ok, pumping out ok, but not getting used during the wash cycle. The blades don't turn at all and are bone dry. Does this sound like the circulation pump?

If you are still trying to sort out this issue try the following.

From what you say then it is most likely the aqua sensor on the side of the dishwasher. The gurgling sounds that you hear are likely the drain pump running and the un-drainable water sloshing in the sump.

Verify that there is actually water going to the dishwasher( Basic step but often overlooked)

Next the inlet valve will have to be checked. This is the part where the water line from the house connects to the dishwasher, under the toe/kick panel. Remove power from the dishwasher. Disconnect the dishwasher electrical connections (2 wires) to the inlet valve and connect it (carefully to 110 V power) using a jumper wire. With 110V power the valve should open and water will flow into the dishwasher, if not then the fault is in the inlet valve.

If this checks fine then the fault is likely in the aqua sensor...

On the outer left side (viewed from front) there is a panel, Behind this panel there is a small clear(of light blue) plastic mechanism with hoses and wires attached( There is usually a yellow disk at the top about 6cm in diameter) this is a float and sensor assembly there is tells the control the water level and works as an emergency drain if there is an issue. There will be a red stick protruding downward to the base and a Styrofoam float on which the stick rests. This is a pan overflow sensor if the stick is too high the unit will go into drain and cut off the fill valve power. The yellow disk is a diaphragm which senses water height. This unit can become stuck with wear and hard water.

Warning! To avoid personal injury or even death, always disconnect your appliance from its power source--that is, unplug it or break the connection at the circuit breaker or fuse box--before you do any troubleshooting or repair work on your appliance. Also, because some components may have sharp edges, use caution while working on your appliance.

Bosch SHU9915UC/11 dishwasher doesn't start wash cycle after replacing circulating pump?

If the dishwasher is not starting the wash cycle after replacing the circulating pump, it is possible that there is an issue with the control board. You may want to check the wiring connections between the control board and the new pump to make sure they are properly connected. If the connections are correct, you may need to test the control board and its various circuits to see if there is an issue with any of the components. It is also possible that there is a problem with a sensor or switch that is preventing the dishwasher from starting the wash cycle. You may need to consult the dishwasher's user manual or contact Bosch customer support for further assistance.

I have a Bosch dishwasher that had error code E24. DW would work if door was opened about 1 minute into washing. New drain pump. No fix. New error code of E21. New control unit, still same problem.

E21 is a circ pump blockage issue. Check that all hoses are clear, unit drains completely. Depending on the age, a new circulating pump may be needed or new motor capacitor.

The water does not circulate throughout the washer. Is the pump bad? The full cycle will run without cleaning.

Before we jump to conclusions, you can try to clear element that discharges the water. The wholes in these units can become clog do to the detergent as well as food. Most Bosch units allow you to unscrew these pretty easily. Blow through them, or use a plastic tooth pick to clear any obstructions or both. Before you reattach, turn on dishwasher and listen to hear how much water is shooting out at the discharge points. Most Bosch have two discharge points one for the top and of course one for the bottom. Reattach units and Run dishwasher.

Should this fail it could very well be the circulating pump.
