Dishwasher Help Forum

Hello,
My diswasher started giving me trouble after few years use now and today he decided that he is on strike..
When i press the On/Off swich it does not stay on.So if i keep it pressed it works but as soon as i release my finger it goes off.
Mddel is SM 65 and it is not electronic type.

If u can suggest what should i do.
Called bosch they think the entire swichboard may need replacement costs £60 and anothe £50 for engineer....may be a new dish washer be a better idea...

Thanks in Advance

Hi GMK,
We'll need a bit more to go on - SM65 is not the model number. Have a close look at the top off the inner door; you should find the model no. etched into the top surface.

Some of these machines have a separate switch which is not too expensive, some are a combined "keyboard" which may be rather dear.

Bosch is a quality brand, for a failure as simple as this one it may well be worth having it repaired.

Bear in mind also that an independant repairer may well have a lower labour charge than sending for Bosch!

If you check in "Directories", you might find a local UKW repairer, or put your post code up in here and somebody may well respond.

Regards,

Checked the model number it is SMS 65

GMK,

You are still a little economical with the model number BUT assuming it is actually a SMS6502GB/01 to /07 series it will need a complete Push Button Switch Unit (Part No:- 151864) at a cost of around £70, I believe?

It's still not long enough, it will be SMS65??GB/??

The nearest appears to be SMS6502GB/?? but there's a few versions, all appear to have the same switch unit though, which is £63.87 inc VAT.

The labour rate you have been quoted is about right to be honest.

The model number is SMS 6502GB/07

is it a DIY work...Unscrew the panel with * screwdriver.Takeout the swich and fit the new one...
Can it be another problem other than switch...may be i buy a switch and find out later that it was something else.

Your help is appreciated...

It will almost certainly be the switch unit, that you need.

Sorry, we are unable legally to advise on fitting the part.
