Our Bosch dishwasher no longer fills with water. The electronics seem to be working fine & the motor runs when started, but no water fills up. Should I be looking for a blockage on some sort of intake filer, or look for a non-functioning solenoid on a valve? If you suggest either one of these, can you tell me where to find them in the machine?
Thanks,
Jeff
My Bosch SHU43C had the same exact problem. I found the below solution on this site. Perhaps you already seen it.
My SHU43C is just over 3 years old. I had a similar problem recently. First, there were a few floods. Then, the Bosch only drained non-stop. Even when I used the Cancel Drain buttons the drain pump would run without stopping. When I tried to run one of the cleaning cycles, no water entered the machine. Corrective: I removed the base plate, and saw that the red plastic floatation device was in the up position. Using a flashlight and a wooden spoon, I lightly toggled the red float stem down. I pushed regular clean cycle and kept toggling with the red float stem until the rinse water started to enter the machine (turning the red stem seems to also actuate a step in the program). Now the dishwasher runs normally. Voila!

Machine not letting water in. Have to shake machine violently to get it started
