Hi, help needed please I too have a Bosch SRU43E12SK18 dishwasher, and I downloaded the repair guide shared above. Could anyone clarify how to check the electrical supply and what parts to test first? I’m a bit overwhelmed by the wiring schematics. 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.

A faulty switch can stop the dishwasher from starting. Thermal Fuse: Check if it’s damaged. Replace it if necessary. Control Board: Inspect for visible damage or disconnected connections. Pump and Motor: Test for proper operation and ensure they’re working properly.
