Bosch SHX46A06UC/14 dishwasher Parts

Yes. Most Bosch built-in dishwashers, including the Bosch SHX46A06UC, are designed to fit a standard 24-inch-wide built-in dishwasher opening. The exact cutout and clearance requirements can vary by series and installation style, so we recommend confirming measurements in the owner's manual.

A “standard” built-in dishwasher opening is typically sized to accept a 24-inch class dishwasher.

• Width: typically about 24 inches
• Height: commonly adjustable to fit roughly 34 to 35 inches under a countertop
• Depth: typically about 24 inches (plus door thickness and handle clearance)
• Plumbing/electrical: usually routed through adjacent cabinets or the rear channel

Even when the width is standard, fit issues usually come from height, depth, or mounting details.

• Flooring changes (new tile or thicker flooring) reducing opening height
• Countertop thickness or a low countertop lip interfering with the top of the unit
• Door/handle clearance hitting nearby cabinet doors or an island
• Side clearance issues if the opening is tight or out of square
• Mounting method differences (top-mount vs side-mount brackets)

Use this checklist to avoid surprises:

A correct fit helps the door seal evenly, reduces leaks, and keeps the dishwasher stable so it runs quietly and drains properly.

SHX46A06UC is a Bosch dishwasher model (the SHX46A series). It is a household-use dishwasher designed for automatic dishwashing cycles such as Power Scrub, Regular Wash, Delicate/Economy, and Rinse & Hold; see the owner's manual for the exact feature set and cycle details for your unit.

Bosch SHX46A-series dishwashers are built around quiet operation and multiple wash options. Your SHX46A06UC uses selectable cycles and temperatures to balance cleaning performance, water use, and run time.

Common cycle options shown for SHX46A models include:

• Power Scrub
• Regular Wash
• Delicate/Economy
• Rinse & Hold
• (On some variants) Quick Wash

Cycle length and water consumption vary with incoming water temperature and how heavily the dishwasher is loaded.

Knowing the exact appliance type and series helps you match the right parts and troubleshooting steps. For example, door leak issues often point to seals and gaskets, while fill problems often point to the inlet valve or float system.

If you are confirming the model because you are diagnosing a problem, these are common part categories to check on SHX46A06UC:

• Door sealing parts (leaks): door seal 00432490, door gasket 00263096
• Filling protection (overfill or no-fill symptoms): float 00165301, valve 00425458
• Door closing and starting issues: dishwasher door latch assembly 00419828

The most common issues we see on Bosch dishwashers like model SHX46A06UC are performance problems caused by maintenance items: clogged filters, blocked spray arms, and poor draining from a restricted drain path. Door sealing and latching problems can also lead to leaks or a dishwasher that will not start.

• Not cleaning well: filter system needs cleaning; spray arms have debris
• Not draining: drain path restriction; kinked or clogged hose
• Bad odors: food debris trapped in filters and sump area
• Won’t start: door not fully closed or not latching
• Leaks at the door: worn gasket or lower door seal

For model-specific care steps and the self-help troubleshooting table, use the owner's manual.

1. Remove and clean the filter area; Bosch models use a multi-filter system designed to protect the pumps.
2. Inspect spray arms for clogs and clear the holes.
3. Run hot water at the nearest sink until it is hot before starting a cycle; cold incoming water can make cycles seem unusually long.
4. Confirm the door closes firmly and latches.
5. Wipe the door sealing surfaces regularly to prevent leaks and odor.

If cleaning and inspection do not fix the issue, these model-matched parts are often involved:

Most “common Bosch dishwasher problems” are preventable. Keeping the filter system and spray arms clean helps maintain wash performance, protects the main pump and drain pump from debris, and reduces odors. A properly sealing, properly latching door also prevents leaks and start failures.

On Bosch dishwasher model SHX46A06UC, “error 14” is most often a display of E:14, which points to a water fill or flow-detection problem. We fix it by restoring proper incoming water flow, clearing restrictions, and checking the fill-sensing components; use the SHX46A06UC owner's manual for the model’s reset and operating steps.

• Press Cancel/Drain to end the cycle, then restart a normal cycle.
• Run the kitchen hot water until it is hot, then start the dishwasher.
• Confirm the shutoff valve under the sink is fully open.
• Straighten any kinks in the inlet hose.
• Turn power off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.

E:14 happens when the dishwasher does not see the expected water flow during filling.

• Low water supply: weak house pressure or a partially closed shutoff valve.
• Inlet restriction: debris or scale at the inlet connection or screen.
• Fill valve issue: valve not opening fully or sticking.
• Overfill protection triggered: a stuck float can interrupt filling.

When SHX46A06UC cannot measure or achieve the correct fill, it stops the cycle to prevent poor cleaning and to reduce the risk of overflow.

If you find water in the base area, repeated E:14 after confirming strong water supply, or any electrical burning odor, stop using the dishwasher and contact Sears PartsDirect support or a qualified technician.
