Bosch SHU5315 UC12 - unit is close to 5 years old (could not find purchase receipt)
See attached pictures of Control Module & plastic door

Top board shorted near power connector (nearest heater, Hi-Limit & flow switch)

3 questions:

1.) Is this irrepairable (within reason)? I'm assuming it is - ie get a new board AP2802870

2.) Any ideas on cause, or is this common? humidity and water vapor maybe? Could this happen when I install the new board?

3.) How are the plastic door guards positioned (see picture). I've read Gene's "slide them back in over the hinge, lining up the door guard square tab with the hinge lever square notch" - but it's still a puzzle to me.

Thanks, Tim

Bosch has a recall on a similar issue. The recall notice (attached) says that models starting with SHU53A are on the recall list... You may want to call them and ask about your model.

Note: I had a similar problem with a different model number (SHU33...). I replaced it with the recomended part but Bosch tells me that the new part is also under recall and that I should not use the DW till it is fixed!

What I couldn't believe, was when I called, the CSR said, "I am delighted to tell you... your dishwasher is not covered by the recall. Too bad it does not work."
