Any model of dishwasher, even the most modern, is subject to wear and tear, just like other household appliances. Naturally, it is difficult to fix serious damage with your own hands, but small DIY repairs many users can do it. Today we’ll figure out where the fuse for a Bosch dishwasher is located, what functions it performs, and how it changes in case of failure.
Purpose of the part
It is easy to understand why a fuse is needed in dishwashing machine from Bosch. It absorbs shocks resulting from overloads in the electrical network, thus protecting the entire electrical part of the machine.
The fuses installed from the very beginning of dishwasher manufacturing were disposable. As soon as problems with electricity arose, the device burned out and needed to be replaced with a new analogue.
The safety elements in modern dishwashers are more advanced and have the ability to recover after each overload.To do this, the Bosch dishwasher simply needs to be turned off and on again so that the fuse begins to function again.
It happens that when a fuse trips, the circuit boards are also damaged. In this case, they have to be repaired or completely replaced.
Where is the fuse located?
Once this item fails, Bosch dishwasher does not turn on. If the problem is not related to the integrity of the outlet or power cord, the cause can only be sought in the fuse. Let's figure out where this part is located.
First, we inspect the body of the dishwasher in the place where the power cord is connected. At its base there is most often a service hatch with a plug inserted into grooves or secured with screws. Unplug the Bosch dishwasher from the electrical outlet and remove the plug to find the fuse.
Having access to the details we need, inspect the wires suitable for the fuse and the semiconductors. Often, residues of soot are found on a burnt-out part - a sure sign that the fuse has completely lost its functionality. To make sure of this completely, we use a multimeter, using it to test the wiring and the part itself. The device will definitely show that the fuse needs to be replaced with a new analogue.
How to replace a fuse?
On dishwasher Bosch brand, this part can be changed quite easily. It is located near the water heating element. The device is simple, warning the heating element to turn on when there is no water. The element is disposable, burns out immediately and requires complete replacement. The part is ordinary and easy to change.
In order to get a burnt-out part, it is recommended to photograph its location in order to avoid mistakes when connecting electrical wiring. Now you can disconnect all the chips connected to the part. There are models of dishwashers in which the wires are soldered to the fuse, so for repairs you will need a soldering iron - it is strictly forbidden to tear off the wiring. Carefully solder each wire and bend it to the side so as not to create interference. Next we proceed as follows:
- we unscrew the fastening elements with which the part is held in the latch, and remove the burnt out part;
- We take a new analogue, verify its identity, insert it into the locking socket, and secure it;
- we connect all the electrical wires or solder them;
- turn on the dishwasher to the power supply and check whether power is supplied to the control module;
- We install the plug in place and perform a test run of the Bosch dishwasher.
