Bosch SHV46C03UC/14 (FD8211) dishwasher Parts

Yes. The Bosch SHV46C03UC is a full-size built-in dishwasher designed for the common 24-inch cabinet opening; its height is adjustable from 33 7/8 inches minimum up to 35 inches. Confirm your cutout and leveling requirements in the SHV46C03UC use and care manual.

What “standard size” means for SHV46C03UC

For this Bosch dishwasher, “standard” mainly refers to fitting a typical built-in opening and being able to level the unit so the door seals correctly.

• Full-size built-in class (not an 18-inch compact model)
• Fits a standard 24-inch-wide opening (typical U.S. built-in size)
• Adjustable height range: 33 7/8 inches to 35 inches
• Final front depth and door clearance can vary with the cabinet, toe-kick, and any custom panel setup

Quick measurement checklist before a swap

Measure your opening and clearances before replacing a dishwasher or planning cabinetry changes.

• Opening width at the front and back (target is the standard 24-inch class)
• Opening height from floor to underside of countertop (must accommodate 33 7/8 inches to 35 inches)
• Leveling leg adjustment range and ability to level side-to-side
• Door swing clearance to adjacent cabinets, handles, and drawers
• Routing space for the drain hose and water supply line

Size classes comparison

Dishwasher size class	Typical opening width	Typical use
Full-size built-in	24 inches	Most kitchens
Compact built-in	18 inches	Smaller kitchens

Why it matters

If the opening is too short or the dishwasher cannot be leveled, the door may not seal correctly, which can lead to leaks, poor drying, and latch alignment problems.

For the Bosch SHV46C03UC dishwasher, the most common issue we see is a draining problem caused by food debris in the filter area or a restriction in the drain path. The good news is that routine filter cleaning and a quick drain-hose check often restore normal draining without major repairs.

Quick checks first (no parts needed)

• Turn off power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.
• Remove and clean the filter area; rinse off grease and trapped food.
• Check the sink drain and garbage disposal inlet (a blocked sink drain can mimic a dishwasher drain failure).
• Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks, crushing, or a low loop that can cause backflow.
• Run a short cycle and listen: a steady drain-pump sound with no water leaving usually points to a restriction.

For diagrams and cleaning guidance specific to this Bosch platform, use the SHV46C03UC manual.

When it is likely a part issue

If the filter area is clean and the hose is clear but the unit still will not drain, the drain hose itself can be internally restricted or damaged.

• If you see cracks, soft spots, or persistent clogs, replace the hose.
• If the hose is loose at a connection, a clamp may be needed to stop leaks.

Helpful model-compatible parts to consider:

• Dishwasher drain hose 00298564
• Hose clamp 00172272

Symptom-to-cause guide

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do
Water left in bottom after cycle	Clogged filter or restricted drain path	Clean filters; check hose routing
Drains slowly	Partial blockage in hose or sink drain	Clear restriction; verify high loop
Random filling or overfilling	Inlet valve or float/level sensing issue	Check float movement; test fill components
Poor cleaning	Dirty filters, blocked spray arms, low water temp	Clean filters/spray arms; verify hot water

Why it matters

Drain restrictions can leave dirty water in the tub, cause odors, and reduce wash performance. Keeping the filter system clean helps protect the pump and keeps water circulating the way Bosch designed it.

Your Bosch dishwasher’s model number is printed on the rating label; on SHV46C03UC units, you’ll typically find it on the inner edge of the door or the door frame when you open the door. Match the full model number exactly before ordering parts.

Where to look on the dishwasher

Check these common Bosch label locations (in order):

• Open the door and look along the top or side edge of the door
• Look on the door frame around the tub opening
• Check the right or left side of the inner door area near the latch
• If the label is worn, use a flashlight and view it from an angle

For diagrams and label examples specific to this model family, use the owner's manual.

What to write down (so parts match)

Bosch dishwashers often show multiple identifiers on the same label. Record all of these:

• Model number (for example, SHV46C03UC)
• FD number (factory date code; your page references FD8211)
• E-Nr (Bosch’s model identifier on many labels)
• Serial number (helpful for confirming production version)

Quick ID guide

Label item	What it’s used for	Why it matters
Model number	Main parts lookup	Ensures correct fit and wiring style
FD number	Production date/version	Helps match running changes
Serial number	Unit-specific identification	Useful when multiple versions exist

Why it matters

Even small model-number differences can change the door latch, racks, seals, or pump components used in your dishwasher. Using the exact model number helps you avoid ordering the wrong part and speeds up repair.
