To replace the drain pump on a Bosch dishwasher, follow these steps:
- Disconnect Power and Water Supply: Ensure the dishwasher is unplugged, and turn off the water supply.
- Remove the Dishwasher from its Place: Carefully slide the dishwasher out from under the countertop. You may need to disconnect the water inlet and drain hose.
- Access the Bottom Panel: Lay the dishwasher on its back to access the bottom panel. Remove any screws securing the panel and set it aside.
- Locate the Drain Pump: The drain pump is usually located near the bottom of the dishwasher, connected to the drain hose.
- Disconnect Wires and Hoses: Detach the electrical connectors and hoses from the drain pump. Be prepared for some water to spill out.
- Remove the Old Pump: Unscrew or unclip the old drain pump from its housing and carefully remove it.
- Install the New Pump: Position the new pump in place, and secure it with screws or clips. Reconnect the electrical connectors and hoses.
- Reassemble and Test: Reattach the bottom panel and move the dishwasher back into position. Reconnect the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to ensure the new pump is working correctly.
If you’re not confident in performing this repair yourself, it’s recommended to contact a professional technician.
