Spare parts for Bosch dishwashers

Bosch dishwashers have a solid margin of reliability. But this does not mean that they can serve forever - sooner or later, certain breakdowns occur in them, which you can fix with your own hands, without resorting to the help of repairmen. Spare parts for Bosch dishwashers can be purchased from specialized online stores or from some service centers. let `s talk about dishwasher spare parts in details.

Main dishwasher parts

Spare parts, parts, modules and components for dishwashers from Bosch are divided into two categories - basic and additional (small). The main ones include engines, drain pumps and many other things that are responsible for functionality. Small ones include handles, legs, filters, seals and rocker arms. Let's go through all these spare parts in more detail and find out what they are for.

Circulation pump (engine)

Looking into the spare parts catalog for the Bosch dishwasher (present in all online stores), we will definitely find there The engine is the heart of any dishwasher., providing continuous circulation of water with detergent. If this module fails, the technician will not be able to wash dishes, as they will not be able to supply water to the rocker arms or take it from the water collector after filtering.

As befits a real heart, the Bosch dishwasher engine is the most expensive spare part - some varieties cost up to 10-11 thousand rubles. To prevent its failure, it is necessary to monitor the safety of the filter, which filters out contaminants and prevents them from penetrating into the circulation pump, if necessary, this filter needs to be replaced.

Drain pump

The pump is a small pump that pumps dirty water with contaminants into the sewer. If this pump fails, we will get an inoperable dishwasher. Causes of failure:

• Increased load on the pump - this happens when using too long drain hoses;
• Foreign objects getting into the drain pump - most often this happens in washing machines, but it can happen here too;
• Increased supply voltage - in domestic power grids, power surges often occur that “kill” equipment.

A faulty pump will buzz hard, be too loud, or show no signs of life at all. When choosing spare parts for a Bosch dishwasher, remember that a pump from a machine of a different brand (and even a different model) may not fit your machine.

Control board

It is called a control module, electronic board, controller and other terms - the essence of this does not change. If the engine is the heart of the dishwasher, then the control board is the brain. It turns on / off the onboard equipment, controls the washing process and the parameters of the equipment. The control module is most often not repaired, but changed - it can be difficult (and very long) to get spare parts for its repair.

Heating elements and flow heaters

Depending on the Bosch dishwasher model, it has a conventional heating element or a more modern instantaneous water heater can be installed. The first is simple, and the second is high performance. If the dishwasher has an instantaneous water heater that instantly heats the water to the desired temperature, the washing process will be much faster.

These spare parts are available for purchase in specialized stores and services - you just need to clarify the name of the dishwasher model (PM), since compatibility is rarely observed here. Please note that in some models instantaneous water heaters may be built into circulation pumps.

Solenoid valves

Looking for spare parts for Bosch dishwashers and looking through numerous catalogs of spare modules and assemblies, we often come across solenoid valves. They perform a completely understandable role - they supply water. The principle of their operation is simple - when the supply voltage is applied, the valves open, and when it is turned off, they close. If the winding in the valve burns out, it will not be able to supply water to the dishwasher.

Dosers/hoppers

Bosch dishwasher parts such as chemical dispensers, are godlessly expensive - up to 10 thousand rubles. Fortunately, they break rarely enough that they may need repair.But if a breakdown does happen, you will have to “roll off” several thousand rubles. Even the simplest dispenser cap can be quite expensive for such a simple assembly - this is Bosch's pricing policy for spare parts.

Electrical components

Spare parts for Bosch dishwashers are represented by many electrical components. These include:

• Electrical wires - sometimes they become unusable, requiring replacement (internal breakage, insulation failure);
• Interlocks - provide blocking of the loading doors during the execution of the next cycle (in some models they are not available);
• Switches - designed to de-energize dishwashers;
• Distributors of the amount of water - the so-called actuators;
• Water flow sensors, thermostats, pressure switches, load sensors, etc. - ensure the functionality of the PM;
• Separate locks for bollards are executive elements that ensure the operation of bollards.

If you need these parts, be sure to check the model name of your Bosch dishwasher.

Baskets

Dishes in Bosch dishwashers (as in any other) are loaded into special metal baskets.Guides, rollers, clamps and many other elements can fail in them. Often there are breakdowns of transforming elements and the formation of corrosion on the metal parts of the baskets. All basket repair parts and completely new baskets can be purchased from specialized stores.

Branch pipes and hoses

Leaks may occur in Bosch dishwashers. They are often caused by leaky pipes connecting individual modules to each other. To eliminate leaks, it is necessary to replace them by purchasing suitable spare parts. Water may also drip from damaged inlet and drain hoses.

Most lucky owners of Bosch dishwashers equipped with Aquastop. Here, almost any leaks are blocked by turning off the water supply. To do this, a special solenoid valve is installed in front of the inlet hose, which is triggered in the event of a leak. In the list of spare parts for dishwashers from Bosch, we can find individual Aquastop valves - sometimes they fail and require replacement.

Small parts and accessories

As for small parts for Bosch dishwasher repair, then they include:

• Spare rocker arms - they can easily break or become cloggedIn some cases, they are easier to replace than repair. Also, replacements may require pipes through which water is supplied to the rocker arms (sometimes the rocker arms are called impellers);
• Fasteners for mounting hinged doors - they are necessary when installing Bosch built-in dishwashers (if suddenly these spare parts were not included in the kit);
• Seals are very important parts, as they ensure the tightness of the working chamber (tank). Despite their simplicity, their cost is off the charts (you won’t be able to get off with a couple of hundred rubles);
• Repair kits for doors - these are whole collections of spare parts necessary for the repair of door closers (door locking mechanisms);
• Filters - filter out contaminants before water is taken in by a circulation pump (despite the simplicity of this unit, its cost is astronomical - you need to pay 2-3 thousand rubles for a piece of plastic with nets).

If you add up the cost of all the parts that make up the Bosch dishwasher, the amount will be serious. But in most cases, repairs are cheaper than buying a new dishwasher.
