Bosh SHY56A Dishwasher - Loud Pop and Smoke While running what we think is a drain cycle (the dishes were clean), there was a loud pop that tripped the circuit breaker. We reset the circuit breaker, the second time a week later (we were away) there was a loud pop and the smell of smoke. The dishwasher will not turn back on after resetting the circuit breaker. Any idea of what part(s) to replace? Thank you in advance ;-) Matthew
Hey Matt,
Dishwashers are not that complicated.. Turn off the breaker, pull the machine out - away from the wall..(there will/should be at lest two screws in the top edge holding it to the counter.. remove them first.. then pull it out until you can turn off the water supply.. When you are able to completely remove the washer, you should be able (possibly)to see what happened.. Check to see if the washer arm (inside the washer) will turn, if not.. replace the motor.., check to see if the pump belt will turn?.. it could be the pump drive motor or the pump its self..(remove the belt), then see if the motor will turn, check to see if the pump will turn.
.. White smoke makes me think that the belt was turning and the pump NOT turning..that will cause the belt to smoke.. and smell like burning rubber..If the pump will not turn. you have found t he problem... Also ..Check to make sure there is not a knife or some other object lodged in the drain or pump
NOW -- With all this.. Sometimes REPLACING the machine is actually cheaper than repairing the old one!!! Your wife deserves a NEW one!!
