SAFETY
I. SAFETY
m
IA. General hazards
Don’t use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening the door on an
uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit.
Failure to follow this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious
injury.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that has not been
used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before filling a dishwasher from a system
that has been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated
area until there is no sound or evidence of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s base
and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat
source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s base and water inlet
valve.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can expose hot water
connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points. Handle with care. Always
wear gloves and safety glasses.

IB. Electrical shock / fire hazards
Don’t allow electrical and water supply lines to touch. Don’t work on an energized
circuit. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. Only qualified electricians
should perform electrical work. Don’t attempt any work on the dishwasher electric
supply circuit until you are certain the circuit is de-energized.
Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no loose electrical
connections. Ensure all electrical connections are properly made.
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the dishwasher electrical
installation is in compliance with all national and local electrical codes and ordinances.
The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120VAC, 60 Hz, connected to a
dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated
for 15 amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper only
wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. Don’t use
extension cords.

INSTALLATION
Don’t over tighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the water inlet valve and
cause a water leak. Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage
the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated,
keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water
inlet valve.
Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing procedures and accessories. All
plumbing should be done in accordance with national and local codes.
These instructions depict an installation method for stainless steel braided hose or
PEX hot water supply lines. If using copper tubing or other material for water supply,
defer to a licensed plumber for proper installation.
II. INSTALLATION
IIA. Pre-Install checklist
Unpack unit. Retain packing material until installation is successful. Remove
packing material from inside the dishwasher.
Inspect parts to ensure you have all the necessary materials.
Flush household hot water supply for at least two minutes.
Measure the enclosure area. The opening must be at least 34" (87 cm) high and
23-5/8" (60-61 cm) wide.
The opening must be close enough to the sink for water line and drain hose
plumbing access.
Unit must be installed close enough to the sink so that drain hose length does not
exceed 92" (234 cm) and a high loop is raised at least 20" (51 cm) above the floor.
Wooden openings must be sanded smooth and metal openings must be covered
by a protective gasket.
Is your water heater set at 120°F (49°C) and does water pressure measure 15-145
psi (1-10 bar)?
If installing in a corner, the dishwasher door must clear cabinet hardware.
Determine mounting method based on dishwasher model and countertop type,
whether top or side mount.
IIB. Alignment
Gently rest the unit on its back, taking care not to crush the drain hose. Remove the
toe panel(s). Loosen front feet slightly. Remove junction box cover and retain for later
use. Place dishwasher upright, then level side to side and front to back.

INSTALLATION
If your dishwasher has pre-attached mounting brackets and you have a wooden
under-counter, position brackets as far apart as possible by sliding them within slots in
direction of arrows. Do not attach them to the countertop yet.
If your dishwasher has pre-attached mounting brackets and the counter top is stone,
use pliers to rotate bracket flanges to remove brackets from the top. Grasp brackets
with pliers at perforation and bend until the rounded end breaks free. Discard the
ends. Slip brackets through side slots. Using pliers, bend bracket flanges so the
brackets will not slip through slots. Do not attach them to the countertop yet.
IIC. Electrical connection
Install according to national and local codes.
Carefully place dishwasher on its back to make electrical connections to the terminal
block. Turn power off at the fuse box. Extend power cord approximately 21” from the
left side of the opening, and 30” from the back wall, making sure the cord doesn’t
contact any moving parts.
Strip outer casing of electrical wire to expose 2.5" - 3" (65 - 76 mm) of inner wires,
then strip 1/2" (13 mm) casing from each wire. If plugging the dishwasher into an
outlet, use an approved appliance power cord. Insert cord through a strain relief (not
included) and install to strain relief plate. Attach wires to terminal block (black – L
(hot), white – N (neutral) & green – G (ground). Unscrew terminal screws, but don’t
loosen or remove them as they may become damaged. Attach wires snugly, but don’t
overtighten.

Leveling feet (front and rear)
The base is supported by three leveling feet, two front and one rear. The rear
leveling foot is adjusted from the front. Front feet have provisions for set screws
(in installation parts bag).
Water switch
Motor operated water switches are mounted underneath heater assemblies.
They consist of a motor-controlled disk with 3 holes which rotates and lines up
over two sump ports (upper / lower spray arms) to provide precise water control
to upper, lower or both spray arms.
Water switches are used to divert water to upper or lower spray arms. Separate
actuators aren’t needed.

COMPONENTS
Circulation pumps, heaters & sumps for water switch / non-water switch models
can’t be interchanged.
Circulation pumps
Bosch dishwashers use separate circulation and drain pumps to reduce overall
size, noise, vibration and energy consumption. This allows the use of tall tanks,
increasing overall space inside dishwashers where full-sized plates can be
placed in both upper and lower racks. Circulation pumps are suspended by
rubber straps to further reduce noise and vibration.
BLDC
Pump, motor and control come as one unit (# 665510). Speed changes as
needed for wash cycle and washability. Pump is isolated from motor, so there’s
no seal needed and no need to loosen or replace impellers.
Float
The float is a safety device which starts the drain pump if there’s too much
water in the tank. It doesn’t act like a bilge pump (i.e. it won’t drain water from
the base).
If there’s water in the base or the float switch isn’t working, error code E5 is
possible.

COMPONENTS
Drain pump
Drain pumps are mounted to sumps in the front of dishwashers -- they’re easily
accessible from the front of dishwashers by removing toe kicks.
Pump specifications
Drain pump is rated 120V, 60 Hz, 35W, 0.85A.
Solving installation issues
Often improper installations, not drain pump issues, cause dishwashers to not
drain properly.
Must have drain hoses with high loops (min. 20” high) or drains with
air gaps.
Drain hoses are 6’ long and can be up to 10’ long.
Secure drain hoses to rear of dishwashers with non-metal bands.
Make sure drain hoses aren’t kinked.
Cavitating
Cavitating may occur in any type of pump when impellers spin faster (from low
inlet or outlet pressure), creating air pockets around impellers. Cavitating
pumps can be noisy. Air gaps/high loops keep water contacting pump outlets,
preventing air pockets from forming.

COMPONENTS
Siphoning
Siphoning may occur in any type of drain pump when low water flow allows a
siphon (suction) to develop, pulling waste water back into the pump. Sump
check valves along with air gaps/high loops prevent siphons from being created.
Terminal connections (Rast 5 connectors)
Rast 5 terminal connectors provide more positive connections than spade
terminals.
Johnson Tee installations (Washington State)
Drain pumps in installations with Johnson Tees (in Washington State) must use
stronger 4-vane pumps (607468).
Standard 9-vane drain pumps (642239) are quieter
and smoother than 4-vane pumps.
Water fill assembly
The water fill assembly is easily accessed from the left side.
Time fill
The time-fill water inlet system doesn’t have a diaphragm or water level switch.
Dishwasher controls allow water to fill for a specific time, relying on consistent
water flow through the water inlet valve to provide the correct water level.

COMPONENTS
Time-fill water valves look like pressure-fill valves, but have tight part tolerances
to insure consistent water levels. Time-fill valves can replace pressure-fill
valves, but pressure-fill valves can’t replace time-fill valves.
Flowmeter
Dishwashers use a flowmeter to provide more accurate water filling. An
impeller mounted magnet activates a reed switch.
Flowmeters are rated:
3.8 – 14 VDC, 1 ma
2.5 L / min, 0.5 – 10 bar
208 output pulses per liter
An arrow on the back of the flowmeter shows the
water flow direction.

COMPONENTS
Condensation tube
The condensation tube is crucial for condensation drying, which dries dishes
without a heating element in the bottom of the tank. Condensation tubes exit
the dishwasher at the right side of the tank.
Condensation tubes exit in the rear of dishwasher bases, allowing water vapor
to evaporate, and aren’t connected to customer drains.
Door spring
Using hinge slider (sliding pulley)
Hinge sliders (sliding hinge pulleys) are used instead of hinge pulleys. Instead
of rolling over rotating pulleys, door spring cords slide over pulley sliding
surfaces. The sliding surfaces provide better control than rotating pulleys (i.e.
reduces possibility of doors slamming closed or falling open).

COMPONENTS
618605 sliding hinge pulley kit consists of (2) sliding pulleys and (2) cords.
Hinge bushing
Hinge bushings hold doors in place (at hinges), using latches instead of
separate locks. Replacement door hinge levers contain hinge bushings.
Water inlet valve
Dishwashers use standard horizontal coil water inlet valves with (Rast 5)
connectors. The valve nestles in the left side of the base and is held into place
with two screws.
When reconnecting the water supply to the water valve, don’t overtighten the
elbow fitting.
Using Teflon tape on water fittings can help prevent leaking.
The water valve can be accessed without removing outer door or base
cover. However, removing them will provide easier access.

COMPONENTS
On/off switch
The on/off switch turns the dishwasher on and off and is
crucial in resetting controls.
Contacts 5 & 6 reset the control. Whenever a control won’t
reset or won’t go into wash programs, check the on/off
switch and jumper. Replace switch and jumper if they’re
faulty.
Door latch
Other than occasional misalignment, the only door latch
repairs will be replacing microswitches. Door latches are
held in place in console (frames) by tabs. It’s important
latches are properly seated in consoles and tabs are fully
inserted into latches.
Terminal block
Terminal blocks clearly show line (L), neutral (N) & ground (G) connections.
Dishwasher wire harnesses have spade terminals which connect to terminals
on the rear of the terminal block.
Terminal blocks can’t be installed in the field – the terminal box assy with
terminal block must be ordered. The terminal box assy assures the terminal
block is properly grounded to the terminal box.
Terminal box
All dishwashers have terminal boxes with covers and conduit exits.

COMPONENTS
Drain hose
Dishwashers use a two-hose (internal / external) drain hose system.
A
customer (external) drain hose (during installation) is connected to the internal
drain hose, with the 90º elbow pointing toward the customer drain. The external
drain hose connects directly to the customer drain system without an adapter.
Dispenser
The dispenser is located near the top of the inner door and reliably dispenses
detergent and rinse-aid.
During each wash program, the wax motor opens twice, once to dispense
detergent and again to dispense rinse-aid. The wax motor opens the same --
linkages open the detergent door & operate the rinse-aid dosage plunger.
Dispensers can have reed switches or optical rinse-aid sensors.
CAUTION: Inner door edges are sharp! Cover door edges and remove
dispenser carefully.
The white plastic linkage opens the detergent dispenser door, then cocks in
place to dispense rinse-aid when the wax motor operates again. After the 2nd
operation, the linkage resets for the next wash.

COMPONENTS
Optical rinse-aid sensors
Optical rinse-aid sensors determine if rinse-aid is present using a light beam
and sensor.
With rinse-aid present, the optical
receiver senses a diffused light
beam.
When rinse-aid has run out, the
optical receiver senses a strong
light beam.
TIP:
It’s possible for some clear rinse-aid brands to not diffuse light
adequately to show rinse-aid isn’t needed.

COMPONENTS
Aqua sensor
The aqua sensor is located behind the sump, to the left of the heater. It’s a two-
piece assembly, with a small circuit board in a plastic housing). It senses water
cleanliness and allows the dishwasher control to remove pre-wash and/or pre-
rinse cycles to save energy (~ 20% energy savings).
.
If water is clean enough, it will be kept for the wash cycle. If not, the aqua
sensor directs the dishwasher to add an additional pre-rinse or pre-wash cycle.
Dishwashers still operate adequately if aqua sensors fail. Customers will only
notice aqua sensors failing if they see their dishwashers running slightly longer
or their electric and water usage getting slightly higher.
Display and power modules
Dishwashers have two controls: a control module in the fascia (control) panel)
and a power module in the base on the right side. The power module controls
the circulation and drain pumps, while the control module controls the wash
programs.

Operation
Water circulation
The circulation pump pumps water from the sump through a triple filter system
to the heater. When water enters the heater, a flow switch determines water is
present and allows the heater to be activated. As water flows, it’s heated until it
reaches the pre-set temperature determined by the cycle. Once it leaves the
heater, it flows through the sump into the upper and lower spray arms.

Heater diagnosing
Test programs heat the water to 150ºF at ~ 2ºF / minute. To save time, don't
run the entire test – when water circulates and the heater is on, measure the
incoming current to the dishwasher. If the current is ~ 11A, the heater is OK. If
the current is ~ 1.5 – 2A, the control or heater could be faulty.
At the control or heater, measure the voltage between the large red heater wire
and a chassis ground or the dw neutral (WHRD on/off switch or flow switch
wire). If the voltage is 120 VAC, the control is OK. If the voltage is 0, the heater
relay has failed – replace the control.

To check the heater, turn off the dishwasher, block up the tank and check the
resistance of each part of the heater as follows.
Heater ~ 11 Ω
Hi-Limit ~ .3 Ω
Flow switch ~ .4Ω. A spring loaded plunger closes it when
water is flowing, so you must remove the microswitch from
the heater and close its contacts to measure the resistance.
TIP: Current can be measured through the red heater wire at the control or
heater (~ 9.5A). There can be more than one red wire, so check the wiring
diagram to select the heater wire.

Water Leaking Past Doors
Water seldom leaks out of bottom of dishwasher doors. Usually it’s a customer
or installation issue. Occasionally air pockets (from standing water in loops) or
kinks in condensation tubes block condensation tubes and cause leaking.
Pressure builds in tanks, blowing water past lower door seals (usually at start of
cycles). Draining condensation tubes and straightening out kinks solves these
occasional problems.
Checklist if water leaks past doors:
Make sure condensation tubes are inserted into bases, not connected to
drains or air gaps.
Clear and drain condensation tubes, including debris in bases.
Re-drill wood doors to make them square.
Straighten kinks in condensation tubes.
Educate customer on oversudsing (from too much detergent/rinse-aid or
overly soft water).
Level dishwasher before attaching under-counter brackets.
Replace damaged door seals, including replacements cut too short.
Refill lower racks overfilled with dishes.
Move flexible cutting boards to left side of dishwasher.

Not cleaning or locking sump filters.
Smelly dishwashers -- Often occurs from filters not being cleaned, drain
hose high loops missing or drain gases being present. If all else is OK, then
problem can be preservative not purged from tank door gasket.
Doors leaking or not latching -- Usually an installation issue (dishwasher
brackets installed before dishwashers are leveled front to back, tanks &
doors out of square, wooden doors not drilled accurately). Can be blockage
in condensation tubes or condensation tubes connected to drain hose air
gaps.
Inner door damage -- From upper rack during improper shipping and
handling (dishwashers clamped on wrong sides or dropped).
Doors hit toe kicks -- Toe kick installation issue.
Junction boxes -- Comes from wires not being connected correctly during
installation.

Fault Diagnostics
Dispensers -- Customers using too much detergent, not using rinse-aid &
not knowing how to close the door.
Drain hoses not installed properly -- Often no air gap or high loop +
pinched hoses -- causes poor draining & smelly dishwashers. Most drain
pumps are mistakenly replaced for drain hose installation issues.
Outer doors -- Most are dinged during shipment.
Damaged water valves -- Primarily from fittings being overtightened. A
damaged valve can allow some water onto kitchen floors.
Customer self-help diagnosing
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems unrelated to a dishwasher
failure. The following fixes can be made by customers without calling for repair.
Dishes do not dry -- The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the
rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary. Dishware drying can be
accelerated and enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and
propping it open with the top rack.
Indicator light(s) do not come on -- A fuse may have blown or a circuit
breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker
box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary.
Dishwasher does not start -- The dishwasher door may not be properly
shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched.
Dishwasher runs a long time -- If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but
the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water.
Before starting the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest
the dishwasher. Run the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water and
start the dishwasher.
Machine cycle does not advance to rinse -- The water supply line may be
shut off. Check the water supply valve and open it if it’s shut.
White spots left on dishes -- More rinse agent is needed.
Water not pumped from dishwasher –
o Make certain the drain hose isn’t kinked, clogged, or improperly
installed. Make sure the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the
floor.
o Make certain the dishwasher filter system and kitchen sink drain
aren’t clogged. You may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for
the dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged.
Detergent dispenser cover will not shut – The cover may not have been
shut correctly or a cycle was not finished and should’ve been cancelled.
Streaks on glassware -- Too much rinse agent is being dispensed.
Rattling noises -- Utensils may not be properly arranged.
Suds in dishwasher – The customer may have used the wrong type of
dishwashing detergent. Use only automatic dishwasher detergents.
