Bosch Dishwasher Repair Refurbishment, strip down, clean, float, matrix, pressure switch reassemble. 

Thank you. Thank you. Another machine saved from the landfill here. following your guide to clean and restore a Bosch Aquastar 6.0L. Cleaning the gunk out of the matrix was the hardest part. 4h work.

At least it did its job after 10 minutes of filling. Newer Models count the water rushing in using a tiny wheel and a reed contact. If the thoughput is too low you get a penalty in form of a tap symbol flashing and the machine stops. I can understand the enginnering standpoint but if the whole cycle takes a little longer who cares? Of course its better when its fixed. Good work!

My 20 year old Bosch Exxcel dishwasher would run but not fill up on the rinse cycle, I had to manually put 2 litres of water in for it to start the rinsing. Followed your vid and YEA its all working great again probably better than ever. Best vid on RU-vid really great thank you so much.

just seen this. cant thank you enough. saved me minimum£200 for callout for Bosch engineer or £350 for a new machine.

Thanks to your tutorial my washing machine is working again! Thank you so much!

Thanks for posting this video - the entire top left corner of the water matrix in my Bosch dishwasher and the float chamber were entirely clogged with gunk, so taking it apart to clean was the only option. I needed to leave undiluted bleach in the matrix for 24 hours to dissolve all the material, but it worked. Just keep flushing it and shaking it vigorously once the bleach has penetrated the areas with the worst build up.

One more unit saved from the landfill! Thank you! :)

Took a bit of searching but exactly what I was looking for - thanks! Now back in action, less gunky and hopefully water tight on the dirty o-rings

Massive thank you for this video, just followed your video and fixed mine. I’m sat on the floor with the side off watching it work checking for any issues.

I got the same problem to my Bosch dishwasher and I am really thankful to this engineer for taking so much patience to show us how to clean the machine ever so grateful to you friend

Very helpful, thanks for creating and posting this video! It all works again and thus extending the life of my 20 year old dishwasher.

Excellently done, chap! Have exactly the same issue with our 2006 Neff!

Highly informative. I look forward to using this video as a guide should my machine need repair in future.

The stills at the start are to point out the two front screws, inside the door, the two clips at the rear of the top panel. You can then remove the left hand side panel by pulling it backwards and up. My theory was if you can't remove these yourself then you really shouldn't be fiddling inside one of these! Hope you find the video helpful in the quest to keep these from landfill.

Thanks for a very informative video. This is very similar to my Integrated Siemens dishwasher the only thing I found different was I had to reset the programme to get it to work.

Thanks, exactly what I needed to see.👌👍🏻

Mate, you saved me quite a pretty penny, thanks for the beautifully informative video 👍🏻

perfect, I just needed some movie that showed me how to remove the matrix when it is full of water, this is perfect.

Thanks for this excellent video , you have helped save our aging machine, hoefully we'll get a few more years out of it yet:)

For those who just got their hands on a new Bosch Dishwasher and find all the components a bit overwhelming, this guide simplifies the setup process. Remember, we've got genuine Bosch Dishwasher spare parts.

Congrats, you got all good :-) Do this on my Bosch dishWasher for years :-) looked like myself doing it LOL. Thanks for the video, I hava been lazy to make one myself. You might want to clean that pipe that goes to the bottom to the water pump. It gets all the gunk that has not been trapped elsewhere.

That was really helpful

Thank you!!

Thanks for the excellent video. What would stop the machine filling with water? Blocked float switch plus gunge in the float chamber?

Very helpful. Does the machine drain the side tank after it completes the cycle? Or does the water stay all the way until the next start?

I have followed the instructions and everything is going as described in the video except that I cant seem to unblock even with loads of bleach and hot water. I think it is re-hardened dishwasher tablets. The same that clogged my outside drain. It is super tough. I am making some progress but very slow. Is there anything stronger i could use that won’t damage the unit? Any suggestions?

I love the information shared on the internet. Thank you for this. It concerns me that the build up of material in the water inlet pipes and valves reduces the effectiveness and useful life of the machine but the manufacturers are not being required to include some easy remedies. Shouldn’t there be a mechanism to get cleaning material into the area through the inlet pipe periodically so that it can be flushed through in the same way as central heating radiators can be de-gunked?

My biggest issue was getting the lid off, there are no screws fixing it in place; any tips?

I have this one but cant find out how to remove the side panel and the top. There are no screws and top does not appear to snap off. I have removed the 2 screws at the front but unable to get panel off. Can you help please ?

I'm getting e15 on my Bosch Dishwasher. Water comes in the bottom tray and lifts the float switch. I've been testing it and it only floods about 1 in 5 washes and I can't see where the water is coming from. Could it be from the matrix, which looks gunged up , or the float unit?

It still leaked and I've given up and brought a replacement! I wasted so much time on this challenge and Bought a Hisence for £349 which is pretty good, very quiet, shines a light on the floor when it on and opened the door when finished to let the steam out.

Just the one job today eh

Didn't watch your video since no explanation of how to remove top and side panel? Need to know that before anything else.
