Model Number: SHY99A05UC/14 Brand: Bosch Age: 1 - 5 years
Over the past few months, the soap door on my Bosch SHY99A05UC dishwasher was not always opening. At first it was every once in a while, but has gotten worse and now it rarely opens at all. If I manually press the release it pops open and slides to the side, so I don't think the spring is the problem. Also, I can't remember the last time I had to refill the rinse aid dispenser. I used to have to fill it every few weeks, but it has been at least two months now since the "fill" message has displayed. Since the rinse aid and soap dispensers are part of the same unit, I'm wondering if this is an electrical problem.

Hi,
I asked the same question a few days ago, there was one response, yet I still haven't received a solution as well. We sent an Email to Bosch inquiring about this specific Detergent Door issue, and they claim there hasn't been a recall, nor have they heard many complaints. Perhaps if enough people send an email complaining about the same problem, perhaps Bosch will take action, and respond. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but it's kind of frustrating to pay for a premium product that's having these kind of problems so early in it's life. This is our second unit, and the previous one worked perfectly. In the event that I replace this unit, I'll be more careful in choosing a brand where the company is more responsive to it's customer. Thanks, RRoma |

i have had this same problem with my bosch dishwasher ... in fact i have had very few good months with this machine. the electrical panel has been replaced twice & it seems like there is always something not working well. i had the same experience with the rinse agent indicator not showing any rinse being needed ... then my dishes got very streaky, then the soap dispenser would open but it would have a hardened chunk of soap in it, & now the soap door isn't opening. this will be the last bosch i ever buy!
i have called bosch regarding this latest problem - and trust me, i am on a first name basis with half of the people in there. but they have no advice other than to call for service. |

i had a technician out & he said it is broken & needs to be replaced. i think with the part plus labour it will cost around $400 ... so i have decided to just run the loads with the dispenser open (since i can't close it) and it works fine. i have a top of the line bosch & it has been an absolute lemon.... and i can't bring myself to spend any more $$ on this thing!
