Replacing Door on Bosch Dishwasher

Dishwasher Repair
1

My Husband unscrewed the front pannel to tighten the handle which was falling off. When he did 2 white plastic pieces came out. I think they are called door guards. Does anyone know how to put them back in or know where they go? I can’t seem to find a diagram anywhere. Also, is it normal for the white insulation on the inside to be a bit moldy? Yuk!! Thanks for any help…

Hi Tracy,

Slide them back in over the hinge, lining up the door guard square tab with the hinge lever square notch.

Hello

I have a loose handle on my Bosch DW - only about 3 yrs old.

Is it necessary to remove the whole inside panel to tighten it?

What pitfalls are there - like springs or other things that will fall out? Is there a seal than will be difficult to reset?

Thanks,

Hi Ted,

What is the complete model number of the dishwasher?

Gene.

I can’t tell the model without pulling it out, but the manual is for models
SHE66C, SHX56C, SHV56C, SHX57C, SHV57C and SHY56A

You can find the model number on the right side of the door or behind the bottom panel.

Ok - found it - SHX56C05UC / 23.

I am also curious about one other thing. Dishes and glasses dry properly, but plastic containers like Tupperware remain wet. Any suggestions.

Thanks,

I am also having a problem with a loose door handle, on my Bosch dishwasher, and just wanted to check and see if the procedure for getting to the door handle screws was the same for model: SHX46A05UC / 14

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

You can use the same technique but should be very careful because the outer door on your dishwasher is much heavier. Hopefully the following door break down diagram will help you better understand the door design.

Here are the break down diagrams for the Bosch dishwasher Model SHX46A05 UC/14 (FD 8211-)

Gene,

Thanks for the info, fixed it without any problems. I was able to take off the screws from the right side (side where the handle was loose) and the top and then get to the screw which holds the handle on without having to take the entire door off which really helped.

Thanks again.

Mark

You are welcome. I’m glad you were able to fix it.

Is the control module behind the door cover?

Hi Gene,

It is a SHE44C05UC/40

It seems like a control module will cost $105 plus $10 to ship. Bosch said the module is covered in their 5 year warranty but my Appliance repairman charges $200 minimum for a home visit. So I can pay $200 for him to do it or buy it for $115 and do it myself. I’m an engineer and I’m pretty good with electronics but I’m a dishwasher virgin… Advice?

Hi John,

You can by this part for less than a $100 and this part is not too difficult to replace yourself. The file with instructions is attached to the reply.

  • The control module [part]AP4434739[/part]

Call the Appliance Parts Pros customer service or use the live chat to find out the ETA on the part.

Gene, you’ve been a “God-send”. I took the door off and sure enough the control module has the “burnt-out” soldier joint. I re-soldiered the connection and just ran through a cycle and it works great! THanks a ton for the disassembly instructions.

You are welcome John. I’m glad you were able to fix it with no cost to you.

I have a Bosch SHU4302UC dishwasher and I took off both the door panel and the top panel to resolder the circuit that was causing my unit to run 3 - 4 hours per full wash cycle (didn’t realize I only had to take off the top panel). I think I got everything right except for these two darn black plastic door guards. It’s driving me nuts, they seem to be like square pegs in a round hole. Please help - any diagrams?
