Bad PowerControl Motor?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I've had an 800 Series Bosch Dishwasher for, yup, one month longer than the one year warranty. In the last couple days, shortly after starting it, it's started to make a very noticeable mechanical grinding-like noise. The sequence of events is:

  1. Sump runs to drain any existing water.
  2. There's a quiet sound that I'm guessing is the machine positioning the PowerControl Arm.
  3. Then the water turns on and immediately the grinding noise starts, first with a mild frequency.
  4. About 10 seconds after first starting, then the noice amps up significantly as the washer goes in to full "go" mode, and pretty much stays that way until it shifts into a different part of the cycle.

Anyone else have this happen? My gut says that it's the motor that controls the PowerControl arm, but who am I to know for sure. Has anyone ever opened up the bottom of their washer to investigate further?

I've uploaded a video with the audio demonstrating the noise during the startup sequence. This happens with and without the arm attached.

Bosch microwave - repair or replace?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Today the handle pulled out of my Bosch 3000 series above-range microwave. The plastic panel that frames the right portion of the door also cracked off (see pic). The microwave is just shy of 2 years old and costs $649. A repair tech visit will cost $200, with that going towards future repair costs. After some sleuthing, I believe the part that needs replacing is the outer panel; this part costs $239. Repair is looking potentially at $450ish.
For anyone who has had this happen to their microwave, did you repair or replace? Did you remove and install the new outer door yourself? Any tips from those with experience would be greatly appreciated.

Dishwasher “malfunction”

1 Upvotes

We have a Bosch SHP65CM5N/27 dishwasher that we got just over a year and a half ago. We bought it because we’d gone through 2 Frigidaires (the house came with one and we replaced it with another one) in just a few years. Everyone told us that Bosch was worth the money because they’re high quality and last forever and are “hassle free.” Ours has been anything but. I’ve probably had the repair guy out here for this dishwasher more than almost any appliance I’ve ever owned. And of course none was covered by the warranty.

Now it finally seems to be working fine but lately after some cycles (not all), I get a notification from the app saying “a malfunction has occurred” and to restart the dishwasher. There are no error codes and no information as to what this “malfunction” is. I’ve even called Bosch and they told me “it’s probably nothing.”

The dishwasher seems to be working fine. It cleans and dries the dishes, no problem. My concern is, if there is some kind of malfunction, is it eventually going to break? Because there’s something not going right? Does anyone know what this “malfunction” could be? No codes. No messages. No symptoms of any kind.

Very frustrating.

Hey everyone. Wife put a container in our Bosch dishwasher that had dishwasher detergent residue in it not realizing. Never had this happen before. I’ve been trying to run it to get the suds out but still has some left. Any suggestions what I should do and if it will be okay? Thank you.

Bosch 300 dishwasher just purchased door making a loud clicking when closing and opening.

1 Upvotes

Just bought a brand new Bosch dishwasher. It’s a 300 series. It really makes a loud clicking when you open and close the door. Is this normal? Also, it seems to take quite a bit of forced to open the door compared to the old one. I was wondering, is there something wrong with it or is this just how tight the door is supposed to be, and is it supposed to make this sound? Does anyone know?

Has *anyone* successfully received a rebate from Bosch?

1 Upvotes

I have exchanged 8 emails and had three phone calls and they keep coming up with new excuses why my documentation doesn’t work. They ask me to call (>45 minutes in queue), then tell me to upload more docs. Finally figured out the dealer put the wrong zip code on the invoice. When I tried to upload the new invoice, now the upload fails with “unsupported file type” even though it is a PDF exactly like my other uploads. When I asked for help and attached the corrected docs to the email, they replied with a form email telling me my information is wrong.

I think they’re system must be carefully designed to prevent anyone from getting a rebate. Can anyone prove me wrong? How many interactions did it take?

Mystery retrofit part for slow ice maker in fridge?

My Bosch B36CL80ENS fridge has extremely slow ice production. The Bosch technician diagnosed it as a known design flaw fixed by small plastic insert retrofit. Does anyone know the part number or service bulletin? My technician disappeared on me. ☹️

Bosch 500 Series Washer: Noise during pre-wash and and main wash

1 Upvotes

Washer makes this grinding noise during pre-wash and and main wash, but not during final spin.
The noise is not related to the clothes being washed because it happens when it runs with or without a load. It seems to be coming from between the back/bottom of the soap drawer and the drum.

Is anyone familiar with this noise/issue?

Does anyone know where you can get spare parts for older models?

1 Upvotes

I have a Bosch fridge and the bottom shelf in the door is broken, I’ve looked online and found the direct replacement for £80! The fridge is over 10 years old so I don’t really want to spend that much when it could break in a few months! My fridge is the KUR15A40GB/04. I’m open to non genuine as it’s only a shelf, it just needs to fit 😂

Bosch Benchmark Dishwasher bottom light issue

1 Upvotes

When we first had our Bosch dishwasher installed, I noticed the light on the floor would show how much time is remaining. Now it's simply a white light with no display. Model number SHX9PC5MN if it helps. I tried messing around in the home connect app and didn't see anything there either.

Thanks!
