I have a Bosch Model #SHE46C06UC/43 Dishwasher. Dishwasher used to be quiet during the entire wash cycle NOW it makes a loud humming sound when the dishwasher first starts up and then it does cycles of humming between the washing cycles. It is quiet during the actual wash cycle though. The dishwasher cleans the dishes just fine....it's just the noise that is annoying. What could this noise be? I have called the local service center(s) in our area, that will service Bosch appliances. They want $180.00 just to walk into my house. Please advise
If so, you can go to the SearsPartsDirect website and locate the valve, and order it, or you can do the same from other repair websites as well.

Same Problem

-   I have the same problem--a high-pitched humming noise when the dishwasher is filling. Otherwise normal when cleaning. Did you ever solve your problem? I'd like to know what it was.
Thanks!-   nneeaall
It is probably the seal on your dish washer door-- Bosch is know for being a quiet operating washer- try pushing on the door during the wash cycle and see if the humming quiets- If so- all you need to is replace the seal on your door-
your model is pretty new. just so you know your warrenty is 1 year parts and labor. 2 years on parts. it should not cost that much money.
there are two components that start before the circulation pump.(wash noise you hear)
first sounds you hear will be the drain pump. usually rattling noises if something is in it but it can make a hum noise if something is jamming the drain propeller up. which is accessible with a T20 torx driver. take the filters out and the mesh filter. and unscrew the screw in the base towards the left. pull out whatever is lodged.
the other humming sound can come from the next component that activates is the watervalve. make sure you dont have a kinked water intake line. otherwise its a bad valve. i have had to change a few of those water valves out already but not for a hum noise on your model. you have a new style water valve. when brands make new parts we get problems fast sometimes..
