Bosch Diswasher - or not?

Make do and mend · 20 Apr 2006

Please can somebody help? My dishwasher is not filling with water - it's as if there is a block somewhere. I have checked that the water is on and the pipe is not kinked - any other suggestions?

I presume water is coming out of the pipe before it goes into the dishwasher?

From my dealings with these dont most Bosch dishwasher come with a large connection (rectangular item) where they connect to the wash tap, normally these contain filters and prv's.

Yes, water is coming through the hose, and the tap is definately on. I wondered whether the actual inlet to the dishwasher may have a shut off valve or something similar, as I did have to disconnect the hose in order to move the dishwasher to decorate. I wondered whether a washer or such may have got lost ?

Is it sensing that the door is shut? When you first start a cycle, the first thing you should hear is the pump running to remove any water left over from the previous wash, then it should open the inlet valve.

Yes, the door is definately closed and the excess water does pump out when the cycle starts. After reading all the repair notes I bought an inlet valve today, replaced the old one but it still isn't working - £25.00 down the drain, so to speak....

it might be that the water level (air pressure) switch is signalling that the water is already up to level.

Internal blockage on pipework causes this. Not the easiest machines to work on either

Given up and ordered a new one - not BOSCH as this is the second one in 6 years that has gone wrong. Thank you all very much for your help!

What make did you go for then?

Bosch is one of the better makes...

John Lewis label for £299 - not sure what make it really is but as it comes with 3 years guarantee as standard and no delivery charges, thought that was a good deal. Had a cooker and hob off of them previousl; both with the three years as standard. The cooker is AEG and no idea what the hob is although it's very similar to the Bosch model. So, fingers crossed!
