Bosch SHE3AR55UC/07 dishwasher Parts

Yes. Most Bosch built-in dishwashers, including the Bosch SHE3AR55UC, are made to fit a standard 24-inch-wide dishwasher opening; Bosch also offers compact 18-inch models, so you always want to confirm the cutout requirements before ordering or installing.

What “standard size” means for dishwashers

Most U.S. kitchens are designed around two common built-in dishwasher widths.

• Standard built-in: about 24 inches wide
• Compact built-in: about 18 inches wide
• Height and depth vary by installation style (leveling legs, flooring, and countertop height)
• Door panel style (front panel, custom panel) does not change the cabinet opening width

How to confirm the correct fit for Bosch SHE3AR55UC

We recommend checking the installation cutout specs and connection locations in the installation guide for your exact configuration.

Measure these before installation:

• Cabinet opening width (side-to-side)
• Opening height (floor to underside of countertop)
• Opening depth (front of cabinet to back wall)
• Water supply, drain hose, and power connection locations

Quick comparison: 24-inch vs 18-inch built-in

Built-in type	Typical width	Best for
Standard	~24 in.	Most full-size kitchens
Compact	~18 in.	Small kitchens, apartments

Why it matters

A dishwasher that is even slightly too tall, too deep, or the wrong width can be difficult to level, may rub the cabinet or countertop, and can cause door alignment issues that lead to leaks. Verifying the cutout and leveling requirements up front prevents installation problems.

To force your Bosch SHE3AR55UC dishwasher to drain, cancel the cycle by pressing and holding Start (or Reset/Cancel) for about 3 to 5 seconds; the dishwasher should switch into a drain-out and stop the current program. For model-specific button behavior, use the owner's manual.

Quick steps to force a drain

• Press and hold Start (or Reset/Cancel) for 3 to 5 seconds.
• Close the door fully and wait; you should hear the drain pump run.
• If the unit has a display, it may change to a short countdown before draining.
• After draining, start a short cycle to confirm normal operation.

If it still will not drain

A drain problem is usually a blockage, a kinked hose, or a failed drain component.

• Clean the filter area in the bottom of the tub (food debris and labels commonly block flow).
• Check the sink drain connection or air gap (if installed) for clogs.
• Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks, crushing, or a low loop problem.
• If you hear humming but no water moves, the drain pump may be jammed or worn.

Parts that commonly fix “won’t drain” symptoms

If cleaning and hose checks do not restore draining, these parts are the most common next suspects for this model.

Symptom	Most likely part	Part to consider
Hums but does not pump out	Drain pump jammed or failed	Drain pump 00611332
Drains slowly or backs up	Drain hose restricted or kinked	Dishwasher drain hose 00668108
Water returns after draining	Check valve sticking	Valve 00611320

Why it matters

Standing water can cause odors, poor cleaning, and repeated error conditions. Forcing a drain clears the tub so you can troubleshoot safely and confirm whether the issue is a one-time blockage or a recurring drain system failure.

The most common problem we see with Bosch dishwashers like model SHE3AR55UC is performance issues caused by routine buildup: a clogged filter or blocked spray arms that lead to poor cleaning and, often, slow or incomplete draining. Checking the basics first prevents many repeat problems.

Most common symptoms (and what they usually point to)

• Dishes come out dirty: spray arms blocked, filter clogged, or low water fill
• Water left in the bottom: drain path restriction, drain hose issue, or a weak drain pump
• Not filling or filling slowly: inlet supply issue or a failing inlet valve
• Leaks at the door: worn or dirty door seal
• Detergent not dispensing well: dispenser door sticking or dispenser assembly wear

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Turn off power at the breaker.
2. Remove and clean the filter area; rinse out debris.
3. Spin spray arms by hand and clear any plugged holes.
4. Confirm the sink drain and garbage disposer inlet are clear (if connected).
5. Check the drain hose routing for kinks and a proper high loop; see the installation guide.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on SHE3AR55UC

If cleaning and hose checks do not fix it, these model-matched parts are common next steps:

Problem you notice	Common part to inspect/replace	What it does
Won’t drain or drains poorly	Drain pump 00611332	Pushes water out through the drain hose
Not filling or low fill	Dishwasher water inlet valve 00622058	Controls water entering the dishwasher
Door area leaking	Sealing 00645141	Seals the door to prevent leaks
Detergent door issues	Dishwasher dispenser assembly 00645208	Releases detergent and rinse aid

Why it matters

Most “Bosch dishwasher problems” start as airflow and water-flow problems. When the filter, spray arms, or drain path are restricted, the dishwasher can’t circulate water correctly, so cleaning drops and drain errors become more likely.

For code-related symptoms, we use the Bosch dishwasher error codes guide to match the displayed code to the most likely cause.

On a Bosch dishwasher like model SHE3AR55UC, E-07 (often shown as E:07) points to a drying system airflow problem, most commonly the drying fan circuit. In real-world use, it’s frequently triggered when moisture or water gets into the fan area, so the dishwasher stops to protect the system.

What to do first (safe, quick checks)

• Turn off power at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and try a cycle.
• Cancel and drain the unit; confirm it actually pumps out water.
• Check the filter area for standing water or heavy debris.
• Make sure the door closes and latches firmly; a poor seal can increase moisture where it should not be.
• Run a short cycle and listen near the door for a small fan sound during drying.

Common causes and what they look like

What’s happening	What you may notice	What to check next
Moisture in the fan area	E-07 appears during or near drying	Let the unit dry out; verify no leaks or over-sudsing
Drainage issue leaving extra water	Water remains in sump, musty odor	Inspect drain path; consider the drain pump and drain hose
Door sealing issue	Steam escaping, damp cabinet edges	Inspect the door seal and door closing alignment
Electrical issue in fan circuit	Error returns immediately after reset	Check wiring connections; test components per the manual

Parts that often relate to the conditions that trigger E-07

We match parts to symptoms, not just the code. If you’re also seeing poor draining or leaks, these model-compatible parts are common suspects:

• Drain pump 00611332 if the dishwasher is not draining well.
• Dishwasher drain hose 00668108 if the drain path is restricted or leaking.
• Dishwasher door seal 00645141 if moisture is escaping around the door.

Why it matters

E-07 is the dishwasher telling you it cannot manage drying airflow correctly. Fixing the underlying moisture, drainage, or sealing issue helps prevent repeat shutdowns and protects the control from ongoing fault conditions.

Where to find model-specific steps

For the exact reset method, diagnostic guidance, and any model-specific notes for SHE3AR55UC, use the SHE3AR55UC owner’s manual. For code definitions and symptom-based troubleshooting, we also recommend Bosch dishwasher error codes.
