Bosch SHE3ARF2UC/08 dishwasher Parts

We do not recommend running your Bosch dishwasher model SHE3ARF2UC with an E22 error because it commonly points to a drain or filter restriction; continuing to run cycles can leave dirty water in the tub and strain the drain system. Use the troubleshooting steps in the SHE3ARF2UC owner's manual first.

What E22 usually means on a Bosch dishwasher

E22 is most often tied to water not draining correctly due to a restriction in the filtration or drain path.

Common causes to check:

• Filter assembly is clogged with food debris
• Standing water in the sump area under the filter
• Drain hose is kinked, pinched, or partially blocked
• Drain pump is jammed or weak
• Check valve is stuck and letting water flow back

What to do before you run another cycle

Start with the easiest, most common fixes.

1. Turn off power to the dishwasher at the breaker.
2. Remove and clean the filters; rinse under hot water and scrub buildup.
3. Check the sump area for glass, labels, or seeds.
4. Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks and high-loop/air-gap issues.
5. If the dishwasher still will not drain, inspect drain components.

Parts that commonly resolve drain-related E22 symptoms on this model:

• Dishwasher drain pump 00611332
• Dishwasher check valve 00611320
• Dishwasher drain hose 00668108

Quick decision guide

What you see	What it points to	What to do next
Water left in bottom after cycle	Restriction or pump issue	Clean filters; check hose; inspect pump
Error returns right after starting drain	Pump jam or check valve stuck	Check for debris; consider pump/check valve
Drains slowly, then errors	Partial blockage	Inspect hose routing and clogs

Why it matters

When a dishwasher cannot drain normally, wash water gets reused and soil redeposits on dishes. It can also overwork the drain pump and increase the chance of leaks around seals and hose connections.

To force a drain on your Bosch SHE3ARF2UC dishwasher, cancel the current cycle by pressing and holding Start (or Reset/Cancel) for about 3 to 5 seconds; the dishwasher should switch into a drain-out and pump the water away. If it will not drain, a clog or failed drain component is usually the cause.

Quick steps to force a drain

• Press and hold Start (or Reset/Cancel) for 3 to 5 seconds.
• Close the door fully and wait for the drain pump to run.
• If the unit has a display, watch for the cycle to change to a short drain phase.
• After it stops, open the door and check whether standing water remains in the sump.
• If water remains, move to the checks below before restarting a wash.

What to check if it still will not drain

1. Filter and sump area: Remove the lower rack, pull the filter, and clear debris (labels, glass, food).
2. Drain hose routing: Look for kinks, crushing behind the unit, or a low spot that traps water. If your setup uses a high loop, make sure it is secured.
3. Sink drain or air gap (if equipped): Clear any blockage where the dishwasher drain connects.
4. Check valve: A stuck check valve can prevent proper draining or allow backflow; see dishwasher check valve 00611320.
5. Drain pump: If you hear humming but no water movement, the pump may be jammed or failed; see dishwasher drain pump 00611332.

Common symptoms and likely causes

What you notice	Most likely cause	What we recommend
Hums but does not drain	Pump jammed or failed	Clean sump, then consider replacing the drain pump
Drains slowly	Partial clog in hose or sink connection	Clear hose path and sink connection
Water returns after draining	Check valve issue or drain routing problem	Inspect check valve and verify proper hose routing
Error code related to draining	Drain restriction or pump issue	Use the error code chart, then inspect drain path

Why it matters

A dishwasher that cannot drain leaves dirty water in the tub, can trigger Bosch drain-related error codes, and often leads to poor cleaning on the next cycle. Fixing the drain path early also helps protect the drain pump from overheating.

Helpful references

• Use Bosch dishwasher error codes to match any displayed code to the most likely drain-related checks.
• For model-specific control behavior and cancel-drain instructions, follow the steps in the SHE3ARF2UC owner's manual.

The most common Bosch dishwasher complaint is a drain-related issue: water left in the bottom after a cycle because the filter area, drain path, or drain hose is restricted. On Bosch SHE3ARF2UC, leaks at the door seal and fill problems from the inlet valve are also frequent.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Standing water after the cycle: clogged filter area, blocked drain hose, or a failing drain pump
• Bad odors: food debris trapped in the filter area or sump
• Not filling or filling slowly: water supply issue or a failing inlet valve
• Leaking at the door: worn or mis-seated door seal, or door not closing squarely
• Poor cleaning: spray arm blockage, overloading, or detergent issues

Quick checks we recommend first (no parts needed)

1. Cancel and drain the cycle, then check for water left in the sump.
2. Clean the filter area and remove any debris (glass, labels, seeds).
3. Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks and make sure it is not crushed behind the unit.
4. Confirm the sink drain and garbage disposer inlet are clear (a common restriction point).
5. Run a hot cycle after cleaning to flush the system.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on SHE3ARF2UC

If the basic checks do not fix it, these model-matched parts are common next steps:

Problem you see	Common part to check/replace	What it does
Won’t drain, hums, or drains weakly	Dishwasher drain pump 00611332	Pumps water out through the drain path
Intermittent draining or backflow	Dishwasher check valve 00611320	Helps prevent drained water from flowing back
Not filling or fills slowly	Dishwasher water inlet valve 00622058	Controls water entering the dishwasher
Leaks at the door edge	Dishwasher door seal 00645141	Seals the tub to the door to prevent leaks
Drain hose cracked, loose, or restricted	Dishwasher drain hose 00668108	Carries drain water to the sink/disposer

Why it matters

Drain restrictions and small leaks tend to get worse over time. Fixing them early helps prevent repeat clogs, odors, and water damage, and it keeps wash performance consistent.

For model-specific operating steps, cycle behavior, and indicator meanings, use the owner's manual. For installation-related drain hose routing and connection details, use the installation guide.
