Sprung leak when dishwasher was off

Hi - The other morning (more like 4 weeks ago) I woke to the Bosch dishwasher (SHX46A05UC) leaking. I shut off the hot water line and the leaking stopped. That morning was the first morning above freezing in 2 weeks. The floor below is poorly insulated. I'm guessing a line or part cracked because of freezing/thawing. Online forums suggest it might be a broken water inlet valve. What is the correct sequence to troubleshoot the problem? And how can I repair it myself? Thanks in advance for your advice and help.

    I ended up looking at the hose and found no problem - fortunately it was well insulated from tap to machine. On turning the water on the leak came fromthe front left of the machine. Turns out the plastic body of the water valve had split and leaked the water. Thanks for the suggestion.

Could be the valve but more likely is the fill hose itself. pull it out, turn on the water and check the hose carefully especially at the ends wher it joins onto the tap and the machine

My bosch shx46a05UC/14 will not shut off. I can open the door and the dishwasher just keeps going?

Are you please able to confirm what exactly is happening when you mention "dishwasher just keeps going".

Is it in a wash cycle and throwing the water around through the wash arms or do you just hear a pump running with water sitting in the base. Most likely there is a leak into the base and the auto stop circuit is trying to empty the dishwasher by running the drain pump. I would suggest you check the base of dishwasher for leaks.

I have a Bosch SHX46A05UC/33 5-cycle dishwasher whose labels on the cycle buttons have also worn away. While the Macmarkus post was helpful b/c I have some of the same buttons, can you tell me the labels...

Hi,

Some SHX46A washers have 4 cycles and others have 5 cycles.

I'm fairly sure your model has the hidden buttons on the top of the door and you stated you have five-cycle buttons, in which case they will be as follows.

1. Top Rack only cycle or Sanitize
2. Power Scrub Plus
3. Regular Wash
4. Delicate Wash
5. Rinse and Hold.

These buttons are also used for cancelling a wash cycle. Hold down "Power Scrub Plus" and "Delicate" at the same time to cancel a cycle and drain the water out.

If your washer does have 4 buttons, it means you don't have a Top Rack / Sanitize cycle, in which case the button configuration (from left to right) will be:

1. Power Scrub Plus
2. Regular Wash
3. Delicate Wash
4. Rinse and Hold.

I hope this solves your problem. If you need any additional information, please post back.

Regards,
BElectric

Bosch Dishwasher SHX46A05UC/23 - No Water

Sounds like your recirculating pump is clogged If it is water can't get up enough pressure to turn the sprayers.
You'll need to start pulling parts out of the bottom inside to get to that pump. I don't work on a lot of Bosch, but that sure sounds like it to me. I see this a lot. Hope this helps...

Bosch SHX46A05UC/30 runs for 4 hours.

The circut board in the biege plastic case under the buttons on the right has what is called a cold solder. In other words the solder melts under operational use. Some are repairable and some are not.

1. UNPLUG DISHWASHER or turn off breaker and test for electricity.
2. Remove screws from door panel.
3. Take pic of position of wires going into plastic box.
4. Remove top section of plastic box with buttons exposing small circut board.
5. Open plastic box exposing large circut board and in the middle of it you will see a black spot where the solder has popped. Resolder and reassemble OR replace old circut board and then reassemble.

A new circut board is about $135
Usually electrical parts are not returnable
