Are all dishwashers 55cm deep?
No. Dishwashers are not all 55 cm deep. Many built-in (integrated) models are designed around a shallower cabinet fit, but standard full-size dishwashers are commonly closer to about 600 mm (around 24 inches) deep overall, and the exact depth depends on the model and how it’s installed.
What’s typical for Bosch SHE7PT55UC
For Bosch SHE7PT55UC, the installation opening is based on standard 24-inch cabinetry. Our installation guide shows a required cabinet opening depth of at least 24 inches (610 mm), which aligns with the common “60 cm class” built-in dishwasher footprint. See the installation guide.
Common dishwasher depth ranges (quick reference)
| Dishwasher type | Typical overall depth | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in (standard 24-inch) | ~600 to 635 mm | Depth can increase with door/handle style |
| Built-in (slimline) | ~550 to 600 mm | Often closer to 55 cm in some kitchens |
| Freestanding | ~600 to 650+ mm | May sit proud of cabinets |
| Compact/portable | Varies widely | Always measure the specific unit |
How to measure depth the right way
Depth confusion usually comes from measuring different points (cabinet opening vs. front of door vs. handle). Use these checks:
- Measure the cabinet opening depth from the back wall to the cabinet face.
- Measure the dishwasher front-to-back with the door closed.
- Include any handle or control panel protrusion.
- Confirm you have door swing clearance if installing near a wall or corner.
- Compare your measurements to the cutout requirements in the installation guide.
Why it matters
If the dishwasher is too deep for the space, the door may not open fully, the unit may not sit flush with the cabinet face, and the water and drain lines can get kinked or pinched during installation.

Can I still use my appliance with an E22 error?
We do not recommend running your Bosch dishwasher model SHE7PT55UC while an E22 error is showing because it points to a drain or filter restriction that can leave dirty water in the sump and strain the drain system. Clear the filter area and check the pump area before running another cycle (see the owner's manual).
What E22 usually means on a Bosch dishwasher
E22 is most commonly tied to water not draining correctly due to debris in the filter system or an obstruction at the waste water pump.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Turn the dishwasher off, then disconnect power at the breaker before servicing.
- Remove and clean the filter system; rinse out trapped food soil.
- Scoop out standing water in the sump if needed.
- Check the waste water pump area for foreign objects (glass, labels, bones).
- Reinstall the pump cover and filters fully seated, then try a rinse cycle.
Parts that commonly relate to E22 symptoms
If cleaning does not restore normal draining, a worn drain component can be involved.
| Symptom you see | Common area to inspect | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water left in tub after cycle | Drain path and check valve | Dishwasher check valve 00611320 |
| Slow drain or intermittent drain | Drain hose routing and clogs | Dishwasher drain hose 00744881 |
| Poor wash plus standing water | Sump area and internal flow | Dishwasher sump 00668102 |
Why it matters
Running with restricted draining can leave contaminated water in the dishwasher, reduce cleaning performance, and increase the chance of repeated faults. Keeping the filters and pump area clear is part of normal care and maintenance.

What does 755 do?
On a Bosch SHE7PT55UC dishwasher, “755” is not a normal setting or code; it is a Unix/Linux file-permissions value (rwxr-xr-x) that controls who can read, write, or run a file. For dishwasher troubleshooting, use the error-code and settings info in the owner's manual.
What “755” means (computer file permissions)
In Unix-style permissions, 755 is a three-digit code:
- 7 (owner): read + write + execute
- 5 (group): read + execute
- 5 (others): read + execute
That translates to rwxr-xr-x.
What to check if you saw “755” on your dishwasher
If “755” appeared on a display, sticker, or note, it is usually not a Bosch dishwasher fault code. Check these common mix-ups:
- A photo or screenshot from a computer or router settings page
- A cabinet label, installer note, or job ticket number
- A misread dishwasher display (for example, time remaining or a different symbol)
- A number printed on packaging for a part or accessory
Dishwasher codes and numbers that do matter
For the Bosch SHE7PT55UC, the most useful “numbers” are typically:
| What you see | What it usually relates to | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Error code (often starts with “E”) | A detected fault (drain, fill, heating, sensor) | Bosch dishwasher error codes and the owner's manual |
| Cycle time remaining | Normal operation | Control panel section in the manual |
| Water hardness setting (H:00 to H:07) | Water softener setup (model dependent) | Water softener section in the manual |
Why it matters
Using the wrong “code” can send you down the wrong repair path. When you use the correct Bosch error code or setting, you can quickly narrow the issue to parts like the dishwasher water inlet valve 10023852, drain hose, or circulation system.

What's the most common problem with a Bosch dishwasher?
For the Bosch SHE7PT55UC dishwasher, the most common issues we see are cleaning problems (from clogged filters or spray arms), water problems (not filling or not draining), and leaks caused by suds or a door seal that is out of place. The owner's manual Self Help section walks through these symptoms and fixes.
Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
- Not cleaning well: spray arm holes blocked, filter area dirty, or low incoming water temperature
- Not filling or “Check water supply”: water supply valve under the sink is off, supply line kinked, or inlet restriction
- Not draining: drain path restriction (hose routing, clogs) or a check valve issue
- Leaks: wrong detergent causing suds, door seal pulled out of its track, blocked condensation vent, or installation/leveling problems
- Won’t start: door not fully latched, delay start active, or power interruption
Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no tools)
- Confirm the door closes and latches firmly; then start the cycle with the door fully shut.
- Check the shutoff valve under the sink; make sure it is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
- Use only automatic dishwasher detergent; hand soap creates suds that can leak.
- Inspect the door seal (gasket) and press it back into the track if it has pulled away.
- Look for anything blocking the condensation vent area.
Parts that commonly relate to these problems
If the basic checks do not solve it, these model-compatible parts are often involved:
| Symptom | Common part to inspect | Example from this model’s parts |
|---|---|---|
| Not filling / “Check water supply” | Water inlet valve | Dishwasher water inlet valve 10023852 |
| Not draining | Drain hose, check valve | Dishwasher drain hose 00744881, dishwasher check valve 00611320 |
| Poor cleaning | Spray arm, diverter | Dishwasher spray arm 00744883, dishwasher spray arm, upper 00745856, dishwasher diverter assembly 00751950 |
Why it matters
Cleaning, filling, draining, and leak symptoms often share the same root causes: restricted water flow, blocked wash circulation, or suds and sealing issues. Fixing the simple causes first prevents repeat problems and protects the circulation pump and heater.
Helpful DIY reference
- Use Bosch dishwasher error codes to match any display message to the right troubleshooting path.
