Problem with Bosch dishwasher...

haaammit · 2 Nov 2011 at 11:50

I have a Bosch SRS56A02GB. The machine seems to be taking about 3 hours to do a normal wash. The time display states it should only be ~105 minutes. It seems to take 25 minutes from pressing the start button to anything actually happening. It seems to be getting worse.

Are there any white goods engineers on here who may be able to give me a few pointers? I'd prefer to repair than to replace.

Many thanks

Does it have a "proper" water feed or is it one of the self-cutting type? The self cutters tend to fur up over time and drastically reduce the water flow, the machine in turn takes longer to fill up.

There was a recall on some of their dishwashers back in July

Check your serial numbers etc - a recall action to replace the control box (for lack of a better word) due to a fire hazard.

maybe worth a try!

Your model number is on the list of models affected by that fire hazard recall.

Get that checked and booked in.

It's a proper feed, not a cut in type.

Cheers for the above re recall - the washer is on at the moment, so can't get the serial no

Will check once the cycle has finished - many thanks

It appears that I have a model that is part of the recall. I rang the number and now have an engineer coming in a few days to replace the faulty part and to give the machine a service foc.

Many many thanks to the posters who highlighted the recall
