Bosch 24 in. SHX36L02UC lower arm - Bosch 24 in. SHX36L02UC / SHX36L06UC Free-Standing Dishwasher

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Model Series.

The force of the water spins the arms. Can you hear the pump running? Have you cleaner the upper and lower filter? The lower one can block with fine lint enough to block flow and it the one owners forget because you can't see it easily.

Hi,

If it's a Bosch as listed above, the lower spray arm simply pulls off. Grip the spray arm near the centre, give it a sharp tug. To refit, insert the shaft into the hole, push down on the centre and make sure it clicks home.


To clean inside the spray arm, you can also separate the arm from the shaft to give better access. There are 4 plastic clips, holding the arm to the shaft (I've ringed one in the image below). Insert a blunt table knife or flat bladed screwdriver behind each clip and gently lever it off. It's easiest to get one side partly off first , then do the other side. Be careful with these - on older washers the plastic can be quite brittle and the clips break more easily.



Hope this helps. If you need further assistance - or you don't have a Bosch dishwasher - please let me know.

Regards,
BElectric.

When my wife started complaining about her dishwasher not getting the top rack clean this is what I found and I wrote a tip about it...

Dishwasher Spray Arms not Spinning


heatman101

Carefully inspect the lower spray arm for a crack or separation.
Also inspect the holes in the spray arm that may be stopped up with debris.
Remove and clean the filter in the front center of the tub.
Set the spray arm at the 12 o'clock position and start the washer. After 30 seconds open the door and check the position of the spray arm. Do thi several times to confirm the spray arm is rotating.

bosch shu5312uc upper spray does not spin. pours water through the center section thus not propelling the arm. any ideas? should the upper arm have any o-rings

Our Bosch has a round knob in the center of the arm, under the basket. ROtate it 90 degrees, and the arm drops away and can be cleaned.

you have a failed circulation pump

how many pieces is the sprayer arm and how many sprayer arms to do you have 2 or 3?

try http://www.bshappliancecare.com/Bosch/boschspares.html

it's pretty flaky and I didn't work when I tried to download a manual for my SRS43A02GB/08, but the parts-lists do.

If you go to the 'Launch the spare parts eShop' and enter your model number (you only quote it partially above, so you then need to select the particular model), you can see the exploded parts diagram - click right-hand icon 'print all pages' to get a pdf of all the exploded diagrams. You can order from here too and they seem a lot cheaper than alternatives, but I haven't actually bought anything yet.

have you seen whether water is pouring out of the bottom supply tube with the lower arm removed? not 100% sure on this model but some units have a half load switch but that should turn off the top one. there may be a blockage in the lower water supply tubeways.
