Bosch dishwasher troubles

Posted by hallerb@aol.com on July 6, 2007, 11:43 am

I posted about this not long ago, machine not cleaning dishes well,
soap not disolving but releasing

well had a official bosch tech here today, he noted the top arm isnt
rotating and decided its a bad pump, a 350 buck problem.

nice tech. appeared very knowledgable

Right after he left I got wondering if the top arm was still somehow
clogged, so I took the top basket wth arm outside and put the garden
hose to it.

Geez it wouldnt spin even with a garden hose driving it.

I ran a wire thru the arm holes, and did get it to move a tiny bit
powered by the garden hose.

I am wondering before putting this machine to the curb wether I should
try buying a new arm?

what could go wrong with a arm preventing water from spinning it even
though it spins free by hand?

Maybe water temperature is causing the plastic to expand and bind?
Have you tried running it in Delicate/Economy Wash mode?

odd thinking about this taking the upper basket with spray arm
attached outdoors and using garden hose to apply water arm wouldnt
turn. I think that elminates the pump as the cause. Pump might be bad
anyway but garden hose should make it spin.

so temp isnt it.

i ordered a arm, near as i can tell no one here stocks them.

next dishwasher will NOT be a bosch!
