> I guess I am Good
That came out wrong. I meant to say "I guess my dishwasher is good"

PRYGAARD,
Thanks for this information. This instructions has been issued in September and I have not replaced this board for more than five months. Thats why I did not know about it.

I just had a bad burning smell from my Bosch dishwasher and it was the WIRING connection behind the kick panel! Just need a torx driver to open the black kick-panel under the door and on the right is your little electrial junction box. Look for blackening, melting, stick your nose in there. Any doubts, pull out the wires and cut 'em back a bit to fresh shiny wire and reterminate with new wire lugs. TURN THE BREAKER OFF FIRST - in your breaker panel, and measure the wires with an AC Voltmeter to make sure they're dead before you do this! But that was all that was wrong with mine! Idiot who installed it was sloppy and the stranded wire wasn't fully in the wire-nut. When you re-do it, strip TWICE as much stranded on the DW side as solid on the house side and make SURE the stranded part is FULLY within the nut as you tighten it, or do what I did and SOLDER the connections before you put new wire-nuts on there! -Phil

Folks,
I just got a recall notice from Bosch on this problem!! The letter describes it as: "Bosch has found that an electrical component in the dishwasher's control panel can overheat and potentially catch fire. In some cases, the dishwasher fire has caused damage to surrounding cabinet walls and counter tops. No injuries have been reported " The impacted model numbers must begin with: SHE43C, SHE44C SHE46C, SHE56C SHU33 SHU42 SHU432 SHU43C, SHU53C If you have one of these you should probably call them at 800-856-9226. The letter offers to send a repairman to replace the part. I called and told them I had the part smoke/burn on me and already replaced it. It looks like I am going to be refunded the price of the part. (If I can find the dang invoice :( ) Cheers

I just got a call from Bosch. The new part: 491870 is ALSO under recall. They asked me not to use the DW and want to send a repairman out. So... if you have replaced your controller with a '491870'...you still need to follow up with Bosch and get it replaced.

The repair guy came out today and replaced the board. It only took 15 min. He said that they are having to fix 500,000 Dishwashers! (I am still waiting on the refund for the part I installed)
