Bosch SHE43P02UC/60 dishwasher Parts

The most common “problem” we see with Bosch dishwashers like model SHE43P02UC is a no-start or won’t-run complaint caused by basics: the door not fully latched, a cycle not properly started or reset, delay start enabled, or the water supply turned off. These are the first items Bosch lists to check in the SHE43P02UC owner’s manual.

Most common symptoms and what to check first

Start with these quick checks before replacing any parts:

• Confirm the door closes firmly and latches; a partially latched door can prevent starting.
• Make sure the dishwasher is actually turned on and a cycle is selected before closing the door.
• Cancel or reset the current cycle if a previous cycle did not complete.
• Check whether Delay start is enabled.
• Verify the home power supply (breaker/fuse) is on.
• Confirm the water supply valve to the dishwasher is turned on.

When it is a real failure: common part-related causes

If the basics are correct and the dishwasher still will not run, these are common repair directions for this Bosch platform:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part on this model
Won’t drain, water left in tub	Drain system restriction or failed pump	Drain pump 00642239
Poor cleaning, weak spray	Circulation system issue or clogging	Sump filter 00441905
Leaks at the bottom of the door	Door sealing surface or seal issue	Door seal 00432490

Why it matters

Most “Bosch dishwasher problems” are setup or condition issues (latch, reset, delay start, water supply). Checking those first prevents unnecessary parts replacement and gets the dishwasher running faster.

Helpful DIY reference

If your unit is showing a code or beeping pattern, use Bosch dishwasher error codes to match the symptom to the right troubleshooting path.

On a Bosch dishwasher, “Speed 60” is a faster wash program designed to finish a load in about 60 minutes by using hotter water and more active washing than longer, energy-saving cycles. For your Bosch SHE43P02UC, the exact temperature and time can vary with soil level and incoming water temperature.

What to expect from Speed 60

• Typical total run time is about 1 hour (it can vary by conditions).
• It generally uses hotter water than normal/eco cycles to clean faster.
• It is best for light to moderate soil and same-day dishes.
• It is not the best choice for baked-on or heavy soil loads.
• Results depend on your home’s hot water supply; Bosch cycle times are based on 120°F incoming water.

How Bosch adjusts the cycle (EcoSense)

Bosch uses a “Smart Control” (EcoSense) that can adjust cycle time and water use based on soil load and incoming water temperature. That means Speed 60 may not behave exactly the same from one load to the next.

What changes	What you may notice	What to do
Incoming water temp	Longer time or weaker cleaning if water is cool	Run hot water at the sink until hot before starting
Soil level	More time or more aggressive washing	Scrape heavy soil; avoid overloading
Sanitization conditions	“Sanitized” light may come on if requirements are met	Use the cycle/options recommended in the SHE43P02UC owner’s manual

Why it matters

Choosing Speed 60 can save time, but it trades some efficiency and heavy-soil performance for speed. If dishes are coming out cloudy or still dirty, switching to a longer cycle or improving loading and water temperature usually fixes it.

For cycle names, indicators, and options specific to your control panel, follow the cycle chart in the SHE43P02UC owner’s manual.

Yes, but we recommend stopping use of your Bosch SHE43P02UC dishwasher until you clear the cause of the E22 error. E22 commonly points to restricted water flow through the filter area, which can lead to poor cleaning and can keep the dishwasher from draining correctly.

What to do first (safe, quick checks)

• Turn the dishwasher off; then shut off power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.
• Remove and clean the filter(s) and any debris in the sump area.
• Check the drain path for kinks or clogs, including the air gap (if installed) and the sink/disposer connection.
• Make sure the dishwasher is level and not over-sudsing (use only dishwasher detergent).
• Run a short cycle after cleaning to confirm the error clears.

Parts that commonly relate to E22 symptoms

If cleaning the filter area does not help, the issue is often in the drain system or circulation system.

Symptom you notice	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Standing water in bottom	Drain system restriction or weak pump	Drain pump 00642239
Slow drain or intermittent drain	Drain hose kink, clog, or routing issue	Dishwasher drain hose 00668108
Poor wash pressure plus error returns	Circulation/recirculation issue	Dishwasher recirculation pump assembly 00442548

Why it matters

An E22 condition usually means water is not moving through the filtration and drain system the way it should. Continuing to run cycles can leave dirty water in the tub, reduce cleaning performance, and increase the chance of leaks if water backs up.

Where to find model-specific guidance

For the exact filter removal steps, cleaning routine, and any Self Help troubleshooting for your Bosch SHE43P02UC, follow the instructions in the SHE43P02UC owner’s manual. For shutoff procedures and safety basics (power and water), use the SHE43P02UC installation guide.
