How To Replace A Dishwasher Drain Hose - Bosch

[@MarkBoulding-j4b]

One of the best explanatory videos I've seen - clear and simple. Gave me the confidence to tackle this job myself after I discovered a squashed drain hose - saved me an engineer's call-out charge, thank you!

[@johnsimmonds6923]

What did we do before KZbin? Thank you for the instructions, saved me buying a new machine.

[@ianm2411]

Adding my thanks. My issue was not draining, running with door open. Stripped down as suggested, found that the red float which operates the micro switch, the drain out of that part that the red float sits in was blocked. I think this meant that the machine assumed that drain was blocked. All cleared out and now it’s running. Worth an hour fiddling about. Thanks again.

[@pinkymcflowers4132]

Just want to say thank you for this video! We have a different Bosch model (SPX68B55UC) and although our matrix looks a little different, the process was pretty much the same. In the end, we didn't need to remove the water inlet hose to disconnect and then reconnect the drain hose, but everything else was the same. We would have never been able to figure this out ourselves, and we were able to save ourselves the time and money of a Bosch service call.

[@mekmaximus6806]

Much more complicated that other brands but thanks for clear explanation

[@hakansoder5279]

8 years on and this viedo is still relevant. Many MANY thanks from Stockholm for this instructive and clear video. Just started up my machine now, and if it doesn't work I'll replace it knowing that I did everything in my power to fix the cloging etc thanks to you Sean ☀

[@JohnFoxFamily]

Thanks Steve, I had a different Bosch model with a different matrix, but this perfectly explained how to disconnect the matrix, saved hours of fumbling and breaking bits - Great help

[@hamiltonchang663]

Thank you from New York City. That was unnecessarily difficult but you helped it make sense.

[@dogbreath3968]

Legend! Another Swedish dishwasher saved. A tip. if the heat exchanger feels stuck it likely is because of years of heat. Just use more force after you removed all screws and unclipped. Also, you should add Siemens to the title as they are the same machines.

[@JoannaBesana]

Thank you! You just saved me hundreds of dollars for a $26 part!

[@Kris-cv3tu]

Legend video mate 👍I repaired my own dishwasher and now I'm certain my pp has grown as a result. Thank you

[@retrochristmas7329]

There was a guy that did this all careful. I love that you did it this way. JUST PULL IT APART!!!!

[@nfortescue]

Thanks for this. Replacing the drain hose didn't work for me in the end, and I had to replace the drain pump. But I bought the replacement drain pump from Ransom Spares as a thank you for this video, and replacing it worked perfectly.

[@TheAmarabay]

Thank you! I just spend the afternoon trying to find out what was the problem with my dishwasher and had I found your video 5 hours earlier, I might have finished within an hour! Appart from explaining how to change the drain hose, this video is awsome to learn how to remove the water matrix, which is what i so badly needed.

[@alexprothon]

Is exactly the cleaning job I need to do on my second hand BOSCH dishwasher (just 3 years old). Great video find!! Fingers crossed that it will be working fine at then end of this maintenance.

[@DerekWilliamsMusic]

Wow, all that just to swap a hose. I would never have managed without this detailed video. Thank you. Actually I was looking for the inlet hose swap, hoping this is the same only right next to the outlet hose.

[@glenwatridge1771]

Hi I used your video to do the same thing on my dishwasher today. There was water coming out what looked like an overflo in the water index bottom left that was draining into the bottom of the dishwasher and showing E15. I took that off but first had to make 3 tools to get the plastic nut that is inside the washer off. This took ages and didn't come off like your in the video. For anyone that is battling to take this nut off. Take a pencil rubbing of the nut then cut it out and stick it onto a piece of hardward ply, I used 12mm. I put 8x40mm bolts through holes drilled in the wood near the corners of the template that was stuck to the wood. Its very difficult to explain but it worked. I also heated it with a hair dryer. Anyway thank you for your video it inspired me to give it a go.

[@xinli1180]

That’s our problem now, 3 years later lol

[@kasraashamse6975]

Thanks for your very helpful and thorough instructions which got me out of mischief big time👍👍👍

[@Mark_Rogerson]

This video has just saved me $$$$ and earned me much needed brownie points with the better half.👍

[@jennytownsley621]

OMG!! You literally just saved us hundreds of dollars on repair man!! Thank you soooo much!!!!

[@dopenshaw11]

Just found this...saved me a load of cash and also couldn't get anyone available to do it quickly...ordered part on line and done in 30 mins happy days

[@sopadeuma9843]

Echoing other's comments, this was great for helping me to disconnect the matrix on my Bosch SMS50E02GB/04. Many thanks.

[@stevedoolan1540]

Thank you so much - I'm really not very mechanically minded but I managed to follow this great video and remove the drain hose and unblock it myself.

[@simonlundqvist7884]

Thanks alot for this video. Helped me to get the two clogged drain hoses out so I could clean them.

[@cueproducer]

Thanks, this was really helpful. Inlet hose clip on mine was a bit tricky to get off, very tight, however this video gave me confidence to complete the job myself. Thanks again.

[@ngtashaleota2519]

Thank you for this easy to follow video. I just did my drain hose and it was so easy to follow.

[@ghostpromotions9382]

You Sir are a star!! Pipes and matrix all cleared, disher workingf again!! I'll bear you in mind for bits in the future....

[@SimonTurnbull-g5m]

Saved my bacon! Thank you for a superbly clear explanation and demonstration. Now - how to stop the mice eating through this one and flooding the ktichen?

[@ric-carol]

Thank you so much, for having such an easy to follow video, this is our second time to try and fix our problem.. We had you on pause right through the process, thought the drainage pipe might be blocked. This wasn't the case, then we took the matrix off( feel quite professional, using these terms:) )Boy... why would they glue this to the side insulation of the machine!!!!!! anyhow noticed some parts were rather black, so gave a couple or four rigorous soaks and shakes with desolved lime away product, and have re assembled. As our machine in integrated, it is a job and a half moving it in and out, sooooo we have got it back in, adjusted, and cursed, and all re connected....... and I am too scared to try it out...!!! What a dilemma, cause if it doesn't work, we won't be moving it again.

[@abaute8011]

Thank you very much!. Although my dishwasher had another failure - related to the flux meter- , your video helped me to mend it successfully.

[@robsmith4419]

Thanks for this, exactly what I needed. My dishwasher is slightly different inside with the pipe travelling from the back to the front underneath everything and round to the front so the pipe needed pushed through due to this accessibility issue but all your steps and logic worked a treat. Thanks again.

[@claudiaschotz1927]

Thank you so much for this. Showed step by step what to do. Easy to follow.

[@yadvishka]

Thank you so much! Sorted my dishwasher in no time, had an extra screw for the side panel as my model is slightly different but everything else was the same! 😊

[@roguebullet4220]

Great video. Now ready to try & clean out the drain hose. Hopefully will save me from buying a new dishwasher. Thank you! 😁

[@kingeternal1]

Absolute legend. Had a brand new 8 series (2022) that I accidentally damaged the drainage hose. Was able to use this to replace it, was not exactly the same but close enough.

[@davidlysaght3151]

Is there a rubber seal on the larger internal screw (2:31 on video) as after replacing it and getting everything working there appears to be water leaking from this area on a test run, I wonder if there was a seal I am now missing..thanks for reading

[@merpois4593]

There is a rubber seal between the matrix and the dishwasher wall which easily falls off when the matrix is removed not mentioned here. Also a small point. my washer now only has one screw holding on the side panel

[@Hneel65]

I somehow lost the seal too. After I put it all back together I was getting E15 errors and leakage. I solved it with some EPDM kit that I still had around from another house job. This time I also used the big wheel-screw first when putting the matrix back into place so that at least that one was fitting exactly in place. And I used a tool to fix it tighter because the first time I fixed it only by hand that that probably wasn't tight enough. Only then I put back the other 3 screws.

[@mjones1633]

This was my problem exactly, the rubber seal fell down into the bottom tray and I didn’t realize there was one until I read this comment, thank you, it stopped leaking after I put the seal back!

[@rogermunns9206]

Thanks so much, excellent. BUT maybe worth saying that after doing this it might be necessary to tip the machine forwards to clear an air lock. This is evidenced by E15 error message. Happened to me, googled it, apparently quite a common problem after refitting the drain hose.

[@Mal501]

8 years later - I never would have worked that out myself! Thanks!

[@oe9276]

Great video many thanks! what's the tool you use for removing the clip on the fill house please I am struggling to remove this on my machine.

[@zatbr1]

Great video and helped me to remove the matrix. But wondering if you have a video on replacement of the water heater on this spesific model. It does not heat the water and at the end of the cycle I get the flashing tap light. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@traciekk]

Amazing video. Saved me $300 on repairs!

[@anahuacv]

We followed your video and we were able to change the drain hose, thanks!

[@drataurus]

Very helpful... Please if its possible, how easy is to change the contact reed flow? My dishwasher does not stop empying water...

[@peterbaron6200]

Perfect “how to”. My dishwasher still throws water all over the floor, but at least I know for certain it’s not the drain hose.

[@AmirHussainOfficial]

Thanks for the tips! Great step by step guide 🌐

[@davidbridges3569]

Very much appreciated - taking out that matrix isn't that difficult with this video.

[@Seggy75]

My matrix panel was stuck on to the black coating on the side of the wash chamber wall. I forced it off…. But can now see bare metal with this black stuff being stuck on the matrix in some areas. It was like it was glued in place. Is it a bad idea to put the matrix back with there being bare metal?

[@davegambrill4495]

Trying to disconnect the inlet hose following your video but haven’t got your hand two pronged grippers, not sure if that’s what they are called? Can’t get it off to get the inlet hose out to replace the outlet hose!! Help!!!!

[@hendriksgiel]

First of al, thanks for this great video. I have the same dishwasher but after completion of the procedure that dishwasher doesnt work anymore? It fills up the water tank for 80% and than it stops. I hear a ticking sound but it doesnt starts running. Can someone help? What can it be?

[@newcube]

Thanks a lot, saved me an expensive callout!

[@lotusadana]

Thans for this video. Some models (number sn55x or se25x) no need dissamble water inlet. Firstly hose push inside and downside.

[@rickdebeftekkel]

hox can i change the pump with all these plastic around

[@rajkamaljoshi3]

Very very good …Nice Information Sir 👌👍

[@leeabbey4257]

Perfect instructions - thank you so much. Made a job I wouldn't normally touch with a bargepole a relatively easy if slightly moist fix. Cheers!

[@cnocspeireag]

Many thanks, I shall probably have to do this. On top of the price gouging re spares (I replaced a door latch earlier this year. The price of the part has increased sixty percent since then and is now about half the price of a basic dishwasher) We now find this complicated process just to fit a drain hose. I suppose it teaches me never to buy another Bosch.

[@vadimstepanov9890]

Супер. Только было страшно выкручивать пластиковые держатели изнутри машинки. А так, всё поделу. И главное - наглядно!

[@KoryBlackmore]

The large inner water matrix securing nut is absolutely impossible to bust loose!! I've pretty much tried everything on this puppy. For a plastic nut I have no idea why it is so tight. Any idea what's going on there?

[@SliPsHoTiFc]

Kory Blackmore what's scary is we have the same last name and I too cannot release the nut did you manage to undo it?

[@minshum]

SliPsHoTiFc Must run in the family genes ;) Use a large hex/Allen key as in the lower nut. I struggled at first too and mashed it up slightly.

[@mudwavessky3502]

I'm struggling getting this off too! Tried the Allen key but even that is just turning as the plastic flexes! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

[@Ac_939x]

Use pliers and rotate it gently and then you can effortlessly undo it

[@nigelholland1811]

Great video! My matrix has a blockage on the top left side and was wondering how to remove and clear. Can you help on E24 fault. Water is pumping out fine. But still shows this fault. Do have any other strip/ serving videos. I think it needs some thing like that.

[@martincook2433]

Did you manage to find out how to unblock it? Mine has the same issue and keeps throwing the e24 code at me

[@nigelholland1811]

Not resolved as yet. I have found ( by chance) that if I open the door after the initial empty cycle that it starts to fill straight away and works fine. Maybe electrical fault somewhere. More time needed

[@martincook2433]

I just took off the matrix and tried feeding through some washing up liquid and hot water it helped dislodge a bit but still merky now the fun part of trying to connect it again lol

[@nigelholland1811]

Martin Cook if you have time let me know if this works for you. I would like to overhaul the whole machine. Could use a few more videos like this one for those tips and tricks. Good luck!

[@stephaneroux3447]

Merci Super clair. Cela m'a permis de trouver la solution pour accéder au tuyau de vidange. Je prenais la problème dans l'autre sens et cela aurait été beaucoup plus compliqué pour accéder aux joints toriques

[@drywaller12345]

Hello, I am relocating my dishwasher Bosch. The Fill hose has a white switch just where the water inlet joins the hose. What's the switch for ?? Thanks..Bill

[@xinli1180]

The hose inside the dishwasher (2:26) is really hard to be taken off. We failed that part😓

[@gregellis9130]

Great video! Do you have one showing how to get the base off of this to replace pump? I cant find any screws

[@jaimef7718]

Great video and exactly what I needed. Thanks

[@paulywooly]

Hi Great video thank you. Not sure whether you can help but I have a Bosch SMS63M08 it works perfectly only 10% of the time. But the other 90% -- after about 30 seconds after starting a cycle the "Check water" error comes on and the machine stops. Things I have done are: cleaned the water valve filter, tested water valve resistance and tested the valve with 240v input and it opens and shuts fine. Blowing down the water inlet pipe had no blockages. Tested the water flow meter reed switch with a magnet and multimeter - it tested fine. Used a magnet to spin the impeller in the flow meter - it spins freely. The machine drains fine with no blockages. I am now at a loss for what to do next, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[@woochatming9917]

I guess changer the sensor

[@Tigrou7777]

What is the purpose of that dishwasher matrix / metering tank ? Washing machines don't have those.

[@oliandthepoos]

Hi, Hopefully you see this message. I'm trying to access my heat element/ flow through heater on a similar model, but how do i get into the base? it doesn't seem have any screws and surely i dont have to disconnect all the hoses to get at it?

[@cezarymisiun3464]

Great job! Thank You very much. This stuff was very helpful

[@deborabradley6795]

Amazing, thank you so much. This is so helpful. Works almost exactly the same for our Siemens model.

[@protexusa]

my bosh diswasher keep returnig water from drain hose to the dishwasher and filling up from bottom what could be the problem? after cycle wather is drained properly but after that start to filling up I dissasembled the panel like you did and i was seeing from drain hose water going backward slowly

[@ebenvanzyl1241]

Hi I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this?

[@protexusa]

@@ebenvanzyl1241 yes! there wasn’t a problem with the dishwasher.Drain hose from sink was lower so when i was washing dishes in sink parts of the water was flowing to dishwasher so i rearranged the connections

[@pattayperformance]

Why do you have to disconnect the matrix? Why not just unplug the hose from the matrix?

[@prettyblueplanet]

Excellent teaching video. Thanks!!

[@kingfisherdecor5533]

Thanks, would have helped if you had shown how to drain the water matrix though. In the end I just plugged it back in and put it on a quick 45 degree cycle and let the machine drain it'self then just unplugged it when the matrix was empty.

[@IvanRamirez-zf9zm]

Thank you for your explanations, I have the Error E23, what about for that please.

[@wiltaim]

Finger crossed for my Siemen integrated model that is now back together despite the fiddling about the only tools I had

[@GregoryTKint]

Excellent video! I just wanted to ask if it is possible to replace the Reed Switch for Flow Meter once the water matrix has been removed? I can't replace the entire flow meter via the front, only the printed circuit board unfortunately (Bosch SMS40A06GB AvantiXX ActiveWater 60cm Freestanding Dishwasher)... many thanks in advance

[@ShayMor_Marketing]

Thanks!! you saved me from my mother-in-law LOL

[@Jarito1903]

everything i needed in one video. Thank you Sir

[@karenatkinson8583]

This is a great video, really easy to follow and successful replacement. The only problem is that it now is purring away and the lights are not coming on...so near yet so far! Are you able to offer a solution please?

[@Yasioo1]

got the same problem, any luck finding out what that was?

[@Fretboard_Chaos_Productions]

Brilliant - thank you for taking the time to do this

[@WolfieLikesCake]

Done all the steps and my machine is this exact one - it seems to be stuck at the top on something you’ve not mentioned? Can anyone help?

[@joseneciosup]

excelente, este video esta disponible en español?

[@austrolopitecus656]

Thank so much. This video helped me a lot.

[@osamahfn]

the light of the Dishwasher for increasing the amount of salt does not turn off knowing that the salt tank is full What are the possibilities for that

[@SliPsHoTiFc]

thank you so much for the video, I can't undo the upper nut (inside) of the water matrix it simply will not release. you spun yours effortlessly

[@rosyhammersley]

Did you have any luck with this? I have the same problem

[@minshum]

Rosy Millington Use a hex/Allen key as in the lower one. Figured it out after breaking mine slightly.

[@Ac_939x]

Use pliers and gently rotate it

[@PK-dm6it]

Mine was jammed as well. Use a pair of the same type of pliers as shown in the video. Position the pliers so the jaws are apart and gripping the outer edges of the nut rather than the middle.

[@Hulteke]

Hello! I have a Siemens and winder why you remove the matrix? Nice and helpful video! Thanks a lot!

[@kenezos]

I’ll try this to sort out e24 code issue. I’ve tried everything else suggested

[@cian87]

Thanks for this, turns out its a little bit easier on older (2000) models as the matrix doesn't need to come out but you do need to figure out how to catch the new hose and bend it around the back of the ion exchanger.
