@Guy, Thank you very much! This is precisely what I was searching for! 👍👍👍

Hello, assistance needed please I too have a Bosch SHX5ER55UC73 dishwasher, and I downloaded the repair manual mentioned above. Could anyone explain how to test the electrical supply and what parts to inspect first? I’m a bit confused by the wiring diagrams. Any suggestions would be great!

Start by checking the basics: 1. Power Supply: Use a multimeter to test the outlet and the terminal block where the power cord connects to the dishwasher. You should see around 120V (or 240V, depending on your model). 2. Door Switch: This is a common failure point. If the door isn’t fully closed or the switch is faulty, the dishwasher won’t start. Test the switch for continuity with a multimeter. 3. Thermal Fuse: If the dishwasher overheated, the thermal fuse might be blown. Check it for continuity as well.

The fuse seem good, I tested it with a voltage meter. Any suggestions? 🤔

I believe my dishwasher has an electrical problem because it isn't starting. I’m not very skilled with repairs, but I’m willing to give it a shot. I have a multimeter and some simple equipment.

This is my checklist for troubleshooting a malfunctioning dishwasher: Power Supply: Check the dishwasher is receiving power. Test the socket and terminal block too. Latch: Check for continuity. A broken wire can stop the dishwasher from starting. Fuse: Inspect if it’s damaged. Replace it if necessary. Control Board: Examine for visible damage or loose connections. Motor and Pump: Check for continuity and ensure they’re working properly.
