I have a Bosch Exxcel Dishwasher, model SMS50E12GB/16, Type: SM6P1B.
The dishwasher developed a fault where it would initially fill with water and operated fine for the initial rinse, but then on it’s second filling it would display error E14 and also the ‘Check Water’ indicator would display.
Having read lots of online forums it appears that the fault might be due to a faulty Reed switch for the flow meter. Therefore I ordered a replacement part, # 00611317.
When trying to instal the new part I’ve come across a problem and hoped someone might be able to help!
I’ve removed the side of the dishwasher and have located the reed switch in the plastic water chamber. The reed switch is on the back of the chamber sandwiched against the metal side of the machine (photo attached). I need to work out how to remove the chamber so I can get access to the sensor.
I think the chamber is secured to the side of the machine by two inlet pipes which pass through the side of the machine - I assume these pump the water in/out. (photo attached)
The pipe at the bottom easily screwed off. But the larger pipe higher up on the machine wall doesn’t want to budge (photo attached). Does anyone know how to remove this? is it screwed in place or clipped in place somehow?
