Bosch SHE45M06UC/48 dishwasher Parts

You usually do not need a technician right away for an E24 error on a Bosch SHE45M06UC dishwasher. E24 points to a drain problem, and many fixes are basic: clearing the sump filter, checking the drain hose routing, and removing a blockage at the sink drain or air gap. Use the SHE45M06UC manual for the model-specific drain and filter access steps.

What E24 means (and what to check first)

E24 is commonly triggered when the dishwasher cannot move water out fast enough. Start with the easiest, most common causes.

• Cancel the cycle and let the unit drain (if it will)
• Remove and clean the sump filter area (food, glass, labels)
• Check the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a high loop issue
• Clear the sink drain connection or air gap (if your setup has one)
• Verify the disposer inlet plug was removed (new disposer installs)

Quick DIY checklist for the drain path

Work from the dishwasher outward. This prevents replacing parts when the real issue is a clog.

Drain path area	What to look for	Typical fix
Sump filter	Debris blocking flow	Clean filter and sump area
Drain hose	Kinked, pinched, clogged	Re-route or flush hose
Sink/air gap	Grease or food blockage	Clean air gap or drain fitting
Drain pump	Hums, rattles, or won’t move water	Inspect impeller; replace pump if needed

When a part is likely needed

If the drain path is clear and E24 returns, the drain pump or a restriction right at the pump is a common next step.

• Dishwasher drains slowly even with a clear hose
• You hear the pump running but little or no water exits
• The unit drains sometimes, then fails again (intermittent pump)
• You find broken debris near the pump impeller

For this model, the drain pump is the drain pump 00642239.

Why it matters

A dishwasher that cannot drain can leave dirty water in the tub, cause poor cleaning, and repeatedly stop mid-cycle. Fixing the drain path early also helps prevent strain on the drain pump and reduces repeat E24 errors.

Yes, most Bosch built-in dishwashers, including the Bosch SHE45M06UC, are designed to fit a standard 24-inch-wide opening; Bosch also makes compact 18-inch models, so you always want to confirm the cutout requirements for your exact installation in the SHE45M06UC manual.

What “standard size” means for dishwashers

Most homes in the U.S. are set up for a 24-inch built-in dishwasher. “Standard” usually refers to the cabinet opening and typical appliance footprint, not a single exact measurement.

Common dishwasher size categories:

• Full-size built-in: typically 24 inches wide
• Compact built-in: typically 18 inches wide
• Portable/freestanding: varies more by design

How to confirm your opening will fit

Use these checks before ordering a replacement dishwasher or planning a cabinet change:

• Measure the opening width (side-to-side) at the front and back
• Measure the opening height (floor to underside of countertop)
• Measure the opening depth (front frame to back wall)
• Confirm water line, drain hose, and power locations will not interfere
• Check that the unit can be leveled and the door can open fully

Quick fit checklist (typical ranges)

Measurement	Most 24-inch built-ins	Most 18-inch compacts
Opening width	~24 in	~18 in
Opening height	~34 to 35 in	~34 to 35 in
Opening depth	~24 in	~24 in

Why it matters

Dishwashers are “standard” only within a size class. If the opening is even slightly off, you can run into problems with leveling, door alignment, or routing the drain hose and water supply.

To force-drain a Bosch SHE45M06UC dishwasher, we reset the cycle and then run the unit’s drain function so the drain pump can push water out through the drain hose. If it will not drain, a clog or a failing drain pump is the most common cause; use the steps below and confirm the reset method in the SHE45M06UC manual.

Quick steps to force a drain

• Press and hold the Start/Reset control for about 3 seconds to cancel the cycle.
• Close the door fully and wait; the dishwasher typically switches to a drain-out.
• If water remains, repeat the cancel step once more.
• Turn off power at the breaker for 1 minute, restore power, then cancel again.
• If the dishwasher hums but does not move water, check for a blockage in the sump and drain path.

What to check if it still will not drain

Before replacing parts, we check the simple restrictions that stop draining:

• Filter and sump area: Remove and clean the filter; clear debris around the sump.
• Drain hose routing: Make sure the hose is not kinked and has a proper high loop/air gap.
• Garbage disposal inlet: If connected to a disposal, confirm the knockout plug was removed.
• Sink drain/air gap: Clear any blockage that can back up into the dishwasher.
• Pump impeller area: Listen for the drain pump running; grinding or intermittent operation points to a pump issue.

Parts that commonly fix a no-drain problem

If the drain path is clear and the dishwasher still will not drain, these parts are common fixes for this model:

Symptom	Most likely part	What it affects
No drain sound at all	Door switch/lock circuit	Dishwasher may cancel but not run drain
Hums but little/no water exits	Drain pump	Moves water out to the sink/disposal
Drains slowly or intermittently	Drain hose restriction	Limits flow out of the tub

Relevant parts for Bosch SHE45M06UC:

• Drain pump 00642239
• Drain hose 00263099

Why it matters

Standing water can cause odors, poor cleaning, and can trigger Bosch drain-related error behavior. Forcing a drain is a good first step, but clearing the filter and drain path prevents repeat clogs.

For code-based troubleshooting, we use the Bosch dishwasher error codes reference alongside the model’s manual.

On Bosch dishwashers like model SHE45M06UC, the most common service issue we see is a heating problem: the water does not heat correctly, cycles run unusually long, and dishes may come out cool or wet. Start by checking for an error code and confirming the unit is filling and washing normally.

What you’ll typically notice

• Cycle time seems to run far longer than normal
• Dishes are not drying well at the end of the cycle
• Water inside the tub feels lukewarm during operation
• The dishwasher cleans poorly because wash water is not hot enough
• A heater-related error code may appear (model dependent)

Quick checks before replacing parts

1. Reset power: turn the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on.
2. Confirm hot water supply: run the kitchen hot water until it’s hot, then start the dishwasher.
3. Check for error codes: use the steps in the SHE45M06UC manual.
4. Inspect filters and spray action: a clogged filter or weak circulation can mimic “no heat” symptoms.
5. Look for draining issues: standing water can affect heating and cycle behavior.

Parts that commonly relate to “no heat” symptoms

Heating complaints can be caused by control, sensing, or circulation problems. For this model, these parts are often involved in diagnosis:

Symptom	Common area to check	Example part for SHE45M06UC
Long cycle, poor drying	Water heating control logic	Control (not listed in the parts shown here)
Weak wash, poor cleaning	Circulation and water movement	Dishwasher recirculation pump assembly 00442548
Odd cycle adjustments	Soil sensing feedback	Sensor 00165279
Not filling well	Water supply into unit	Dishwasher water inlet valve 00607335

Why it matters

Bosch dishwashers rely on correct water temperature for cleaning and drying performance. When heating is limited, the dishwasher may extend the cycle to try to reach target temperatures, which looks like it is “running forever.”
