Question about Bosch 24 in. SGS43C12 Classixx Free-Standing Dishwasher

Sgs43a Dishwasher After 4 years service I went to switch on the machine and it is completely DEAD- no lights - nothing. All obvious things like power & water supplt have been checked & are OK. Any ideas? Or is it destined for the scrapyard? It has been making groaning noises on initial fill, incidentally.

Thanks for that - I checked it and the power supply cable is OK. I have stripped the door and found power at the switch. The switch also works fine and delivers voltage to the next stage - the conrol module. As there are no ligths on when powered up my conclusion is the control module is faulty. These are quite expensive - part number is Siemens 5WK57751 and costs 350 upwards. I'm better off buting a second hand machine off Ebay for £45....
I bought Bosch as I was under the misapprehension it was a good brand. It seems you may as well pay the least as cheap machines will last at least 4 years. Buying "premium" brands is a mug's game.

I have inspected both boards closely and all connections appear good. I also tested the continuity across all the contacts and only had a reading across 2 of them - but I don't really know what I'm looking for here. Thanks for your help Rotu, I will keep looking for a cheap replacemet module.

We have the problem with the wire nut meltdown in our Siemens dishwasher. It seems that everyone recommends the replacement, but is there a way to keep it from happening or is it a flaw in manufacturing? Does Bosch/Seimens handle a recall fix or do you just keep replacing the wirenuts? some postings state it is a power amp issue?? Thank you for any help you can give!

Most of the time with dead bosch dishwashers, i find that the wire nut has melted where the service cord is connected to the appliance. This connection is on the lower right side of the dishwasher. you get to it by removing the two screws from the toe kick, then removing the screw holding the cover on the metal junction box, if it has one. Make sure power is off, then check the two connections inside that box. Usually the black wire is melted and needs to be repaired and re-connected with a new wire nut. Good luck!

If you open up that control board, there will likely be a bad solder connection that is pretty obvious most times. It is on the back half of the control board, the one that doesnt have the buttons. If you clean up that joint and re solder it, it should work for a good long time. Have seen this problem many times, but it doenst usually kill the dishwasher completely. Might at least try it before replacing it.

13 yr old dishwasher suddenly stopped working mid pre wash. Water left in bottom of machine. Power point is fine. Will not start at all now though. No lights turn on either. Is it fixable ?

If it is 13 years old, it has most likely reached its end of life--whatever the cause, something has malfunctioned. However, a service technician would probably be able to advise.

My Maytag dishwasher will not run. It is completely dead. Nothing lights up, etc. It is only a few years old.

Many newer dishwashers are wired to a switch on the wall as a means of service
disconnects in new homes. Also I would check the GFCI outlets in the kitchen area
and possibly the bathroom as well to see if they are tripped. (Press the test button and
then the reset button on them to test). The next thing I would check is the breaker
panel to see if the dishwasher is on it's own breaker. And lastly I would check the
connections to the dishwasher itself (after making absolutely sure power is off to the
wiring feeding the dishwasher at the breaker panel). I hope this is helpful.

We got our maytag 300 quiet series about 3 years ago from home depot. about a year ago the option buttons/lights on the right side went dead. It was out of warranty and still worked so i ignored it. Now...

Our Maytag dishwasher (an earlier model) quit too. Found that the door latch operates two micro-switches which supply power to the machine and one of the switches no longer made contact when operated. The switch pair and the plastic latch parts are sold as a package for about $15 on the internet. A number of lights in the door are held in place by a small colored lens for each light and the lenses have disintegrated leaving the lights to hang by the wires inside the door cavity. Plan to use contact cement to glue the lights in place. I don't know if this will help you, but it doesn't take long to open the door cavity. Make sure to remove power to the machine before opening it up.

FDW 60 lights 4 and 5 flashin.Select programme,m/c then bleeps 4 times and then lights 4 and 5 flas together and nothing else happens!Any ideas please?

Control panel which is a bit sensitive might need re-booting. Mine did the same and had a mind of its own, doing what it wanted, lights flashing all over the place, not completing the wash etc etc.
Switch off the machine and unplug from the mains. Leave for 10 minutes.
Plug back in, switch the machine on to your required programme and if ,like me, you are lucky, your machine should work again. If it happens again in the future you know what to do. Failing that go to the Hotpoint website, find the customer service number and ask if there is anything else you can do yourself to solve the problem, before paying for a service call. They are really helpful

Well done on confirming that the outlet is not the problem. This problem will not be able to fixed by the owner and a service call is the next step. (unless you want to dig into the problem, which could easily be a failed pump motor which took out the controller board.

Start button not working...can't get machine to start

The micro switch is bad. I had the same problem cleaned the switch a few time (nd bought some time) but in the end I moved a switch from a cycle we did not use to the start position. Cost was nothing but my time (must have skills in soldering PCB assy). Worked fine since, almost a year now. However I have had several unrelated problems and would thing twice before putting any major money into this unit. In the 3 years I;'ve had this unit I've fixed the switch, installed a new pump assy and put in 2 thermal switches (unit appears dead when they go bad). I've done all this myself and the bills would be between $700 nad $1,000 to call service.

Frigidaire dishwasher

Next thing to look at--considering all the power is good--although that's what I'd check on again, would be the door switch. May have to remove the control panel cover or the door interior.

on the back of the TV where the power cord plugs into the back of the tv there is a small black on/off switch- it's not as obvious as you would think.... but that was turned off. Not sure how that happened since the back of the Tv was never touched when it went dead- but I unplugged the cord from the back of the tv and from the outlet and reset that switch and it worked.
