How to fix the bosch dishwasher door

Any dishwasher user knows that the machine “knows how” to lock the door open. In this position it is convenient to load or unload dishes, leave the dishwasher to air, and clean the filters. Unfortunately, sometimes the door stops holding open. There are two types of problems possible:

The door does not lock in the open position and falls . To avoid mechanical damage to the door when it falls to the floor, you have to hold it when opening.
The dishwasher door closes on its own. This creates inconvenience when loading and unloading dishes: you need to constantly hold the door with one hand.

How is the door fixed and why does it fall?

Are you about to put dirty utensils into the bin, but its door tries to close? You have to hold it with one hand and put the plates in with the other, which is extremely inconvenient. What is the cause of the problem and what parts are responsible for fixing it?

Tension cable.
Door spring.
Locking element.
A loop.

When you press the door with your hand, the cable pulls back the spring, and the lock locks it in that position. As soon as you start closing the hopper, the opposite effect occurs. At the same time, closing is quick, and if you loosen your grip a little, the camera will close with a bang.

If the mechanism does not hold, the reason may be improper adjustment. The machines are supplied to stores with a non-adjustable locking device - so that it is convenient for you to install and hang the front panel on the dishwasher. After hanging, you need to fix the tensioning cable so that there is a reliable fixation when loading.

But if the lock is broken, how can you open and secure the door? Repair work will have to be carried out.

There is also the opposite problem that users complain about - the door began to fall or suddenly opens in the Bosch PMM. In such cases, the tension cable could break and the spring could stretch. If the problem is accompanied by squeaking, the cause is broken hinges.

Preparation for work

Before adjusting the door, it is worth preparing in advance. Proceed like this:

disconnect the equipment from the network;
remove the built-in device from the niche;
disconnect communications - water inlet and drain hoses;
prepare a set of tools - anything you have in your home workshop will do;
Please read the instructions below to describe the progress of the work before setting up the machine yourself.

How to disconnect PMM from communications? It's simple:

Disconnect the machine (Bosch, Kandy or another brand) from the electricity. Roll up the power cord and hang it on the mount pre-designed by the designers.
Turn off the water supply valve to the dishwasher.
Disconnect the water intake hose.

Now you can begin to disconnect the drain hose - do not forget to install a plug at its end.

Find the fasteners that secure the body of the machine in the niche of the furniture set.
Arm yourself with a Phillips (plus) screwdriver and unscrew the screws that secure the case.
Take the equipment out of the closet. The machine rarely weighs more than 40-50 kg, so you can handle it alone, but you should still act carefully.

Cover the floor before installing equipment on it. Provide full access to the machine from all sides.

What tools do you need next? Stock up:

Phillips screwdriver;
hexagon;
pliers;
metal cable 1.5 mm.

You may not need the latter, so hold off on purchasing it until you're sure you really need it.

To avoid such problems, follow these recommendations:

Do not overload the chamber with dishes.
Do not place heavy objects on the open door.
Do not slam the camera suddenly.

You can carry out the repair yourself. Buy replacement components in advance and follow the step-by-step instructions.

The problem with fixing the dishwasher door comes in two variations.

The first is when the door of a new dishwasher keeps closing, especially without dishes.

The second is when the dishwasher door constantly falls, in any position, that is, it does not hold.

Depending on the version of the problem, the solution will be different; more on this below.

Correction

If your dishwasher won't turn on, follow these steps:

Inspect the device body for damage.
Make sure the power is not out throughout the entire house.
Check the integrity of the power cord.
Reboot the system by unplugging the device from the power supply for 10-15 minutes.

If you find any irregularities, leave the dishwasher unplugged and call a technician. If, during a superficial diagnosis, you do not notice anything strange, it means that the breakdown occurred inside the device. Most modern dishwashers, when a malfunction occurs, display an error code on the display, the explanation of which can be found in the user manual.

Sometimes household appliances malfunction. According to one of them, the dishwasher does not turn on. In some cases, a simple reboot of the device solves the problem. To troubleshoot electronics and replace dishwasher parts, it is better to contact a professional.

The door in the new dishwasher does not lock, it constantly closes

We bought a new dishwasher, everything is fine, except for one thing - the door does not lock and constantly tries to close. Is this a defect or not? We are most likely talking about the Bosch built-in dishwasher.

If the door constantly closes, then most likely you did not screw the facade on or adjust it. The fact is that built-in dishwashers have a built-in door position control. The door is always adjusted after installing the facade. The instructions say this in the section on door adjustment.

Door and front dimensions. Canopy and mount

The dimensions of the decorative panel depend on the size of the dishwasher. This can be narrow - 45-60 cm, full-size - from 60 cm or compact equipment - height 50-60 cm.

What to do if the dishwasher front is too long? You won't be able to cut it, as you will ruin the appearance of the set, because it is laminated on top and covered with decorative film.

What you will need for work:

Screwdriver Set;
roulette;
fasteners;
door handle.

Attached is a full-size template drawing, screws, self-adhesive tape, and fastenings. You can figure out how to secure the panel by following the instructions. For an experienced master this will take no more than 10-15 minutes.

The dishwasher door falls and doesn't stay in place at all.

If the door constantly falls and does not lock, then most likely the closers are broken or there is a problem with the cables. If you observe this problem, then you cannot do without repairs.

Closers are faulty

. Every Bosch dishwasher uses a pair of automatic door closers. This mechanism prevents the door from moving harshly, and accordingly protects it from damage.

If the closers are faulty, the door will constantly fall, since the locking mechanism will not be able to hold the door with fittings, the weight of which sometimes reaches 10 kg.

If you replace the closers and there are no more problems with the door, you can continue to use the dishwasher as usual.

The cables and the holder mechanism are faulty

. In addition to the closers, the dishwasher door has a plastic fastener with tension cables. These cables serve as a tension absorber, preventing the door from falling.

If one of the cables is stretched, the door will not hold. One wrong move, and if the door falls, the ears of the tray holder may break off. Then, in addition to the fact that you will have to change the pallet, you may also have to change the door closers.

If you begin to notice that the door moves too smoothly, then this is the first sign that there are problems with the holder mechanism and repair will soon be required.

Loading and unloading dishes from the PMM chamber requires constant opening and closing of the door. The locking mechanism allows for locking in the open position for easy loading. But what if the dishwasher door does not lock? It is necessary to understand the locking mechanism and replace broken parts.

Removing blockages

In each of the above cases, in order to restore the functionality of the equipment, it is necessary to perform certain manipulations. We'll tell you how to do this further.

Cleaning the filter and checking the pump

In a dishwasher, the filter consists of two elements joined together. This design is located at the bottom of the working chamber. In most models, the main filter is framed by a filter mesh, which is also a filter that does not allow food waste to pass through.

The filter and filter mesh can be removed for cleaning

The inner “glass” is made of coarse mesh and is a coarse filter element. When water passes through this part, it hits the surface of an outer metal mesh with small cells - a fine filter element that finally cleans the liquid from food debris.

Coarse and fine filter elements

To clean the filters, follow these steps:

Remove the dish baskets from the PMM.
Unscrew the filter cap, which is located in the bottom of the chamber, next to the sprayer.
Remove the two dirty filter cups from the niche.
Rinse both filters thoroughly with running water. If necessary, use a toothbrush and any dishwashing detergent.
Open the cover, which is located under the filters and gives access to the pump impeller. Carefully check that the impeller rotates freely. If something is slowing it down, you should remove the blockage using tweezers.
After cleaning, return all parts to their places.

This is what a pump with an impeller looks like in many Bosch and Siemens PMM models

Sewer cleaning

In this case, the pump does not have time to remove all the water during its operation, since the sewer system is clogged. It is easy to localize the problem - disconnect the drainage hose from the sewer.

If dirty liquid leaks from it, try cleaning the part yourself, for which:

Pour boiling water with dissolved pipeline cleaner into the drainage hole (it is possible that only the siphon is clogged).
If there is no result, try cleaning the pipe with a steel cable (if you have one) or call a plumber.

Plumbing cable for cleaning sewer pipes

Checking the drain hose

It happens that cleaning the filters and checking the sewage system does not lead to the desired result - the water is still not pumped out. This may mean that the drain hose is clogged or pinched.

First, check to see if the hose is pinched by furniture or other objects. Feel it along its entire length (this manipulation helps remove the blockage). Once you are sure the hose is clean and not kinked, turn on the dishwasher to check the drain system. You can disconnect the drainage pipe from the sewer and place it in a large container to make sure it is working.

Disconnecting the drain hose from the sewer

How is the door fixed and why does it fall?

Tension cable.
Door spring.
Locking element.
A loop.

If the mechanism does not hold, the reason may be improper adjustment. The machines are supplied to stores with a non-adjustable locking device - so that it is convenient for you to install and hang the front panel on the dishwasher. After hanging, you need to fix the tensioning cable so that there is a reliable fixation when loading.

But if the lock is broken, how can you open and secure the door? Repair work will have to be carried out.

Purpose and features of the facade on the dishwasher

Before you begin installing the dishwasher front, you need to understand the purpose of this part. The front surface is a special decorative protective panel that is installed on the front of the dishwasher.

This product is made from various materials. However, most often when creating panels, the materials used in the manufacture of kitchen furniture are used. Externally, this part looks like an ordinary cabinet and therefore it is not easy to guess that there is a built-in dishwasher behind it.

Facade panels have a number of advantages that you should familiarize yourself with before using them. Among the advantages are the following:

Improving the interior of the kitchen space. With the help of such a façade you can complement your kitchen design. Also, the use of such products simplifies the choice of dishwashers, since you do not have to select equipment that would fit the kitchen furniture.
Dishwasher protection. The panel installed on the front of the machine reliably protects the equipment from mechanical damage and contamination. Most often, facades are installed to provide additional protection for household appliances.
Soundproofing. It is known that during operation the dishwasher makes a lot of extraneous noise. After installing the facade panel, the equipment begins to work less noisily.
Strength. Facade panels are highly durable and therefore difficult to damage. They are able to withstand even strong impacts on the surface.

Possible malfunctions of the dishwasher

When the service life of your equipment exceeds five years, you should think about simple wear and tear of parts. However, in the case when the equipment was purchased recently, then various malfunctions of the dishwasher can be caused by the following factors:

Cheap models often feature low-quality parts;
Severely clogged plates can cause filters to become clogged, after which water will not flow through. Before loading, you should thoroughly clean the dishes from food residues;
Poor cleaning of dishes is possible due to the use of low-quality detergents;
If the door is not closed tightly, you will notice how the dishwasher leaks. It also happens that the door closes poorly, and this indicates that it was installed incorrectly by the manufacturer;
It makes sense to load dishes correctly: the upper compartment is intended for cups and plates, and large dishes are placed below.

In a situation where the above reasons do not apply, you should think about bad parts that have the potential to fail.

Door fixation

Dishwashing machines are designed in such a way that the door is always locked in any position. However, our issue is that there is no commit. Thus, to fill the washing machine with dirty dishes, you will need to hold the door with your knee so as not to break the dishes and carefully place them.

Often in such a case, the locking system of the door itself fails. However, it also happens that incorrect adjustment can lead to improper operation of the mechanism. This is due to the fact that built-in dishwashers are not supplied from the factory with the door already adjusted. This is necessary so that the master can install it without hindrance.

Do-it-yourself PMM door repair

Start small: check that the dishwasher body is installed correctly. Here are the main criteria for successful operation:

The housing is located on a flat, hard surface.
Each leg is in contact with the surface.
The location is verified by the building level.

If the car is leaning forward a little, then the door may not close all the way. If necessary, adjust the legs of the PMM.

Checking and replacing the seal

There is a rubber cuff around the perimeter of the chamber. It covers the cracks, protecting equipment from leaks. If it becomes deformed, problems with tightness begin. Replacing an element is not difficult.

Sequence of work:

Unplug the machine.
Open the door.
Remove the old seal. Just pull one end and it will come off.
Install the new rubber into the groove. Ensure a snug fit.

If the product is longer than usual, cut off the excess.
Check if the hopper closes properly.

That's all, nothing complicated. Next, we’ll look at the PMM fasteners.

The mechanism that is responsible for fixation

To understand how to secure the dishwasher door, you need to look inside where it is attached. There you can see:

Special spring;
Cable;
Fixing element for locking, which consists of plastic;
Loop.

The loop begins to move when we fully open the machine door. To open it, you need to apply a certain force, which is quite enough for the spring to stretch as much as possible. The locking element secures the cable, so that the spring does not pull back, thereby keeping the doors open. They will remain in this position until you close them yourself. The blockage will immediately be released, which will lead to compression of the spring, which will tighten the cable. You must hold the door, because it will be attracted by a spring, so it will slam shut quickly.

Let's assume a situation where the locking element is broken. In such a case, you must constantly hold the door so that the tension of the spring does not cause it to return to the closed position. It will require constant force to keep it open while loading dishes. If the locking device fails, operation of the dishwasher door is not permissible. Otherwise, the mechanism will completely break down, which will ultimately lead to serious repairs.
