How to replace drain pump in Bosch dishwasher

[@shawnspilman9598]

Good video, well done, but the whole job is a lot easier if you can pull the dishwasher out from under the cabinet, tip it on its side, and go in from the bottom. No tools needed. Watching this still helps.

[@pr3tyk1ty]

Followed the instructions, found half of a wishbone lodged in the pump. Easy and free solution to revive an otherwise dead machine. Subscribed with thanks.

[@christopherrawluk732]

Thanks for this video. Before you replace the pump, pop the impeller out and see if it can be cleaned. I found a lot of hair and crud wrapped around the shaft and removing it fixed the issue.

[@nickz1r]

Thank you for for this! You've saved me hundreds in having someone come out to repair and provide parts, or I might've even just decided to buy a new dishwasher if that was going to add up to too much.

[@kimberlyearl969]

Thank you for this video! I did exactly as you said and found a piece of glass, I could not get to it from inside the dishwasher. I was able to cancel the repairman and save me $200. I really appreciate you making this video.

[@jasonmudge5027]

Same here, the filters do nothing to stop broken glass entering the pump - I guess that’s outside of design parameters!😂

[@gillgladwell207]

Thank you for this. Husband replaced the pump in under 20 minutes with the help of your instructions and now have fully working dishwasher again at a cost of £30.

[@freyakitsune6713]

Thank you so much for this!! Complete newbie here, my dishwasher wasn't draining and was tripping the breaker on every cycle. Thanks to your video we are up and running again and you've saved us a ton of money. You're a legend!

[@GordonYoung]

I was able to change the drain pump on my bosch SHE79T55UC/07 dishwasher because of your video. I did not have to take my dishwasher out from it being installed under the counter. It only took me 15 min. Huge thank you.

[@katieperry4890]

I was about to buy a new drain pump (Husband was ready to buy a new dishwasher!). I found a piece of glass in there and now it’s working fine. Thanks for the detailed video!!

[@patchthesinclair5896]

Thank you, this is the clearest and easiest to follow video I have seen on the subject. At last I feel confident to start the job.

[@MartinPearse-f1g]

Very simple and clear to understand. The job itself was really easy to do if you are a reasonably proficient DIY person. I was sure the pump was blocked after the impeller as it wouldn't empty and kept coming back after clearing. It turned out to be the water inlet unit was blocked with limescale and other rubbish and needed to be replaced- now have the dishwasher working again!

[@blackworx]

Stuff like this is why I love youtube. Thanks man.

[@Nikkisixty1]

You're a life saver! Hubby and I followed your instructions and voilà, problem fixed...a bit of glass in the sump stopping the impeller from spinning and thus not draining. Thanks for for your generous time :)

[@jasonmudge5027]

Thank you this really helped me, I found my problem was a piece of broken glass stopping the impeller spinning, the dishwasher responded with flashing the input pressure tap icon, but that was because it wasn’t draining, you could literally hear the pump crunching this piece of glass, which is why I went straight for it, and your video helped me find and remove it, clear the blockage - thank you!

[@jesuspobre88]

Thank you very much for the step by step tutorial. Cost me £36 for a new pump which I was able to fit myself saving, what I imagine, would be a few quid. Even replacing everything was made much easier following your vid. Keep it up 👍Cheers.

[@cjthian]

This is an excellent step by step video which was easy to follow. Thank you. I found it easier to tilt the dishwasher like you did when carrying out the repair in order to take off the parts and reassemble them again. It was much easier to see.

[@ApplianceFault]

Thanks for watching, happy that the video was helpful.

[@robertdenham4867]

This was great, helped a lot. I checked the standard things that prevented the dishwasher from draining (debris in the sump, blocked hose etc), but it still failed to drain intermittently. So followed your instructions and looked at the pump. It still spun, but had a fair bit of cotton and hair and stuff wrapped around the axle, which probably was enough to prevent it from draining. It also gives you a chance to check the outlet hose where it meets the sump, and for me this also had a bit of unpleasant congealed fat or something in it, so I cleaned that out too. Looking good now. Thanks again.

[@msabedra1]

Did you have to replace it or was cleaning it out enough to make it work again?

[@JJRedmanJJ]

Fantastic video. Turned my dishwasher from an annoying grindy sounding mess to whisper quiet again. Easy job, even with the dishwasher in place.

[@ApplianceFault]

Awesome, good to hear of a good outcome. Thank you for watching.

[@geko1022]

Excellent video, took the pump out and found a rubber band twisted around the impeller! Removed, reassembled and working! Total cost £0 👍

[@ApplianceFault]

Good to hear of a good outcome :) Thanks for watching.

[@ianscrimgeour4270]

Thanks for the video, exactly what I needed. Saved myself £150 on engineer call out and parts.

[@damnadam1986]

Brilliant video. Easy to understand steps. A dash of common sense (and tools) is all you need. Beforehand, I could hear the motor/impeller still trying to work for a split second, then stopping. After inspection I found a tiny piece of glass which was stopping the impeller. Really stoked. Thank you!

[@conmcloughlin4515]

P😊

[@valentineyau1746]

Thanks for making this video. Very straight forward and to the point. Help me get rid of a blockage near the drain pump and allowed me to get my Bosch dishwasher back to 100% working again without the E24 error. I thought I was up for a new pump.

[@jeffm7270]

Thank you very much for this. You saved me $320!!

[@paulinemitsuk793]

Thank you so much. I replaced the pump on my dishwasher thanks to you.

[@ApplianceFault]

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching

[@philxan]

Thanks for this. I pulled out the pump, and discovered a small round piece of plastic that was clearly stopping the impellers from turning. Looked like seal from a bottle lid. Not sure how it got there, but now it’s gone the machine seems to work great again!

[@CharlotCassar]

This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 👍

[@tcshea]

You make it look easy. I’ll try this tomorrow.

[@Lawzy]

What a great video! I’ve been trying to solve a repetitive E22 error despite cleaning the filters. I’m ready to try this and the non return valve in the hope there is a blockage near the pump. Thanks.

[@ApplianceFault]

Nice to hear that the video is helpful. Thank you for watching.

[@agfletch]

Thanks so much, our dishwasher is back up and running after watching this. My pump had picked up a long thread of cotton around the shaft which was not letting it spin freely and I was getting Error 25. It took me about 5 minutes to inspect the pump with only basic tools after watching your video. I didn't even need to buy any parts! Cheers!

[@joematthews4875]

Great video. My issue turned out to be the citric acid granules I used recently for drainage care had formed two small lumps that stopped the impeller from turning. I've learned to use smaller intermittent doses of the citric now.

[@paulcordingley3434]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to fix my pump issue - an amazing amount of crud wrapped around the impeller and causing an error code and check water light to come on. Fixed.

[@laurencewesson4236]

Good video, thanks, but with some comments. First, this process is much harder when the dishwasher is actually installed under a counter. I found access difficult, constantly having to lye on my back or side from various directions to reach the fasteners. Second, it would help to mention that the fasteners are torx, not phillips, screws, and many people would have to go out and shop for torx drivers. Somebody suggested soap on the motor gasket to make it possible to wrench it into the hole, but I used olive oil. Either way, it was virtually impossible to get the pump into its hole without lubrication. Fourth, the space for rotating the pump is so cramped you cannot connect the wire harness until the pump is installed properly, but then the receptacle faces away from you and it is difficult without a mirror to see where to plug the harness in properly. A final note: after (thankfully) using your advice and puzzling out the other mysteries on my own, my dishwasher still failed to drain. I have cleaned the filters three times (they were only plugged the first time), and now I have a new pump installed, and the problem is just as bad as before.

[@emdgmd]

Did you ever figure out the issue? I’m having the same problems after replacing the pump

[@simonbarclay6074]

Excellent demonstration

[@davizsou]

Very helpful video. Thanks!!!

[@discord2000]

You're a bloody legend, thanks!

[@AndrewKaeding]

This is a great video, I'm about to remove the pump on our washer now to see if I need to order a new one, or if it's obstructed like others have discovered. Question: Why remove the main door cover?

[@AndrewKaeding]

Nevermind! Going through the steps myself, I see that the door hangs down too low to access anything if you don't remove it. My dishwasher is (I think) a newer model, with way more screws and wire connectors for the control panel...but overall...same basic elements. Found a piece of glass in the impeller housing. Free, 30-minute repair instead of a $200-300 service visit, or a new unit altogether...Thanks!

Great video - thank you very much

[@ApplianceFault]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

[@zhump]

Nice mate. Thanks

[@janjuchelka5622]

Thanks !!! I have piece of glass there. After remove is all fine :)

[@ApplianceFault]

Awesome, good to hear of a good outcome. Thank you for watching.

[@13stassi]

Спасибо большое!!! Очень наглядно и понятно

[@aone1465]

Are this sound dampening pads always in the door and in the front of the access panel? When I replaced my pump there was no insulation in those spots.

[@retiredsoon1365]

Thank-you for a very informative video, I have a Siemens which appears identical to the Bosch. I am trying to troubleshoot an E4 fault, Fault is intermittent any ideas?

[@michaelhorsford403]

Do these have caps for this pump ?

[@sylvainrodrigue6996]

Merci beaucoup, j'ai économisé beaucoup d'argent en le remplaçant par moi même, il était bruyant et maintenant il fonctionne comme une neuve merci encore

[@shemmac4700]

Thanks for the video. I have replaced the pump on ours, but we still get Error 24. Any ideas?

[@dudi172]

I've got the same drain pump. How can I know please if my dp is defective or good? Already checked the ohms resistance and it's 91ohm between each phase (it's a three phase pump)

[@TheMornox]

I am trying to fix this model. The upper rotor does not receive water while the lower one works fine. I am not sure how to start troubleshooting, any suggestions?

[@imola22000]

Thanks very clear Is the procedure valid for all models? such as series 4 SMS46MI08E. Can I take the pump apart without tilting the dishwasher?

[@remi-tl5lp]

Merci du partage , je cherchais une vidéo pour le modèle similaire à celui d'une voisine âgée, donc je pourrais la dépanner ! Merci .

[@mattlferraro]

Does anyone know if there is a check valve between the pump/impeller 'chamber' and the drain hose? Also any hints getting the drain hose disconnected? Those plastic 'forks' sure make it difficult.

[@colinhargis8736]

Thanks for a really helpful video. I would like to ask, in your experience can a pump just become "weak"? My pump runs and sounds OK but the machine will only pump out if I lower the outlet hose to about 1/2 height of machine. Then it pumps really well. It used to work OK with the hose going to the top of the machine. All filters are clear and pipes clean and pump impeller is clean and spins smoothly.

[@ApplianceFault]

You’re welcome. I haven’t seen this sort of thing happen to these pumps. But have seen a strings and rubber bands get wrapped around the impeller slowing them down and not allowing to pump at full capacity

[@aone1465]

Yes, I had this same symptom. Also the pump was louder than it used to be and sounded like it was groaning. I replaced the pump and it fixed the poor draining.

[@joef7011]

My drain pump in my Bosch dishwasher is turning (plastic fins are all there) but not draining water . The pathways are seemingly clean. Is it the rubber valve near this pump which is responsible? It seems intact. Thank you.

[@AN-kg4ei]

Did you sort this out? I have same issue and suspected a bad solenoid but can't find location.

[@alisepehrjavan4239]

that was great. tank

[@SuculantWarrior]

This is great. But why do you have to remove the door panel?

[@keithfillinger3182]

I was wondering that as well. It did not really seem to accomplish much.

[@lawmanlawreaper]

Put a little bran oil on the rubber seal, it makes it way simple to put back in and twist.

[@ApplianceFault]

It’s best to use some sort of non harsh detergents. Some oils can make seals become spongy and deteriorate.

[@lawmanlawreaper]

@@ApplianceFault agree but bran oil is very light and dissolve in water, it is food grade. The rubber on the pump is designed to handle harsh detergents used in the the wash process like highly alkaline salts. Sorry chemical science is one of my things.

[@ianmelling3550]

Thank you.

[@ApplianceFault]

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching

[@nigelbarker2968]

Hi. Great video. Took out the faulty pump easy enough but getting the replacement in is proving impossible. It just will not go in even and when I turn it to secure it it does not stay level and will not click in place. I’ve been trying for over 3 hours and ready to give up! Help!

[@ApplianceFault]

Hello, Try putting a bit of liquid detergent on the seal of the pump. This should help it push in and twist easier.

[@BarryMcGrath-jn7mn]

If it is an under bench dishwasher how do you access the drain pump?

[@AN-kg4ei]

Does anyone know where the drain solenoid on a Bosh eco dishwasher is? My check valve is ok, impeller/motor running fine, float and micros witch work but unit doesn't drain. The only thing I can think of is the solenoid to open flow from tub to drain. I can't seem to find it...

[@Dwelly70]

what is daybree ?

[@robertdenham4867]

debris

[@jagannathpotdar144]

Good

[@ozcantufan2656]

Tnx.

[@richardhaywood9706]

I replaced the pump and now I don’t get anything on the panel, no lights, nothing and yes it is getting power, any ideas?

[@Justin-fw1kj]

After I removed all the excess drain water at the bottom of the dishwasher (right and left sides) it came back to life

[@NatalinoContu]

Vorrei sapere come sostituire il tubo di scarico sinistro

[@tixchicken]

getting error code 25 drain pump starts and stops draining till error 25
