Hi, I have a Bosch Dishwasher. Can't see the model number. Recently the spray pressure from the middle and top nozels have reduced. I've taken the nozels of and run the m/c up; seems that the pump outlet servicing the middlew/top nozzle has reduced pressure. the botton nozel pressure is ok. Not brave enough to take the whole assembly out to look for blockages etc. Any ideas?! Cheers

not worth fixing, you are better off putting that money towards a new one. unless you can find the arm and repair it yourself

Hi -

I order all Bosch parts direct from Bosch. You wont get them much cheaper anywhere else. If the model number above is correct, the part number is 359976. This is the whole upper spray arm assembly which clips onto the upper basket. The arm and retaining nut are not sold separately.


(0614 is the position number in the parts list, not the part number)

http://www.bosch-eshop.com/eshop/bosch/us/prodls.htm?Matnr=000000000000359976&ESHOPTYPE=A

$21.60 + shipping (in stock)

The link is for the Bosch USA eShop. If you are somewhere else, please let me know your location and I'll provide a different link. If you have a different from the one listed above, I can verify the part number for you, but this fits most Siemens/Bosch dishwashers, so it's likely to be the correct part..

Hope this helps.

Regards,
BElectric

All the jets must be clean especially the drive jets at the ends of the wash arms, these drive the arms around thus allowing jets of water to reach every piece of crockery.

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.

There is a screen that you can remove from the sump of the dishwasher to clean. Just twist it to the left and pull it out. I have some tips that you might want to check out if this does not resolve your problem.

Hello zeviemail
Welcome

You said, your Bosch dishwasher on auto wash will stop functioning in middle of the cycle start beeping and there is an icon of a faucet on the display.


What is your model number and the year of the dishwasher?

Hi the plates and bowels should face into the center of the dishwasher, the spray arm spins at the top and bottom from and sprays outward, check that you are using the soap dispenser and not the rince agent cups, also check to make sure it will spring open , ifall that is good then you may have a bad wax motor or a loose conection. at the wax motor. let me know
