After reading this and other posts on Appliance Pros, I decided to disassemble my washer to check out the circ. pump and motor. Obviously the motor was working fine, as the humming sound told me the motor was working. But when I disassembled the circ. pump, I found the impeller was in two pieces and the front of the impeller had welded itself to the front of the pump housing. I had to pry off the impeller with a pair of pliers. I then ordered and installed the Bosch Circ. pump rebuild kit #00167085 (about $75 on ********) and it worked like a champ.
If this is happening to your dishwasher, I would encourage you to try to do this repair yourself. There are several good video's on You Tube that will walk you through this repair. I am a very cautious worker and therefore go really slow when I'm doing jobs like this. It took me about 1.5 hours to completely disassemble the unit and about an hour to put it back together, including the repair. For 75 bucks, it is well worth it. You can do it! Thanks for the post. Beowing, Thanks for posting your experience with your Bosch dishwasher repair. We're glad to hear your machine is up and running properly and cleaning the dishes. Great Job !!! Thanks Again,

Jim, Very good, Yes, you'll need to dismantle the pump assembly and check the impeller for damage, clogs or slippage. Part number: AP2802376
Here's a little basic help :  RS696.pdf (498kb) downloaded 9 time(s).Good Luck and Thanks,

Replaced the solenoid valve on my Bosch Dishwasher (original valve was probably OK). Dishwasher does not wash still. I get water, but it just bubbles up an inch or so above the lower arm, no water makes it to the top. I stopped the cycle and did cancel - drain and the dishwasher pumped the water out.
So basically I get water, but not enough pressure to spin the arms (water doesn't even make it to the top arm.
Is the next step to replace the main pump or impeller?
Thanks for any help.
Jim
