Bosch SHE53T52UC/01 dishwasher Parts

Yes, the Bosch dishwasher model SHE53T52UC can sometimes still run with an E22 error, but we recommend fixing the cause first because E22 commonly points to a drain or filter restriction that can lead to poor cleaning, standing water, and pump strain. Use the SHE53T52UC owner's manual to confirm the reset and cleaning steps for your exact control panel.

What E22 usually means on a Bosch dishwasher

E22 is most often tied to a drain flow problem, especially around the filter area and sump. Start with the simplest checks first.

• Clean the filter screen and filter cup in the bottom of the tub
• Remove debris around the sump inlet (glass, labels, food)
• Check that the drain hose is not kinked or crushed
• Make sure the sink drain or garbage disposer inlet is not blocked
• Run a short rinse cycle after cleaning to see if the code clears

Quick “use it or stop” guide

If any of the conditions below apply, stop using the dishwasher until you correct them.

What you see	What it suggests	What to do next
Water left in the bottom after a cycle	Restricted filter, hose, or drain path	Clean filters; inspect hose routing
Loud humming during drain	Drain pump struggling against a blockage	Clear obstruction; re-test drain
Dishes not getting clean	Poor circulation due to restricted sump/filter	Clean filter area; check spray arms
Code returns immediately	Ongoing restriction or failing drain component	Inspect drain path; consider pump/hose service

Parts that commonly relate to E22 symptoms

If cleaning and hose checks do not solve it, a worn or obstructed drain component is a common next step.

• Dishwasher drain hose 00744881 (cracks, internal restriction, or kinks)
• Dishwasher drain pump 00620774 (weak pump, jammed impeller)
• Dishwasher check valve 00611320 (backflow or sticking)

For ordering, use the parts list for your model on this page, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

Running repeated cycles with an E22 condition often means the dishwasher is not moving water correctly. That can leave dirty water in the sump, reduce wash performance, and increase wear on the drain pump and circulation system.

The most common problem we see with Bosch dishwashers, including model SHE53T52UC, is reduced wash performance caused by restricted water flow: a dirty filter area, clogged spray arm holes, or a partial drain restriction. These issues show up as poor cleaning, standing water, or long cycle times; use the owner's manual for the correct cleaning steps.

Most common symptoms (and what they usually mean)

• Dishes still dirty or gritty: spray arms blocked, not spinning, or low water flow.
• Water left in the bottom: filter area, sump, or drain path is restricted.
• Detergent pod not dissolving: weak spray action or dispenser obstruction.
• Slow fill or no fill: inlet screen clogged, shutoff closed, or valve failing.
• Inconsistent results: soil sensing issues or water not hot at start.

Quick checks we recommend first (no parts required)

• Remove and rinse the filter components; clear labels, glass, and food debris.
• Spin spray arms by hand; clear mineral buildup from jet holes.
• Verify the drain hose has a proper high loop and is not kinked.
• Run hot water at the sink 30 to 60 seconds before starting.

Parts that commonly fix these symptoms on SHE53T52UC

Problem you notice	Part to check	What it affects
Not filling or filling slowly	Dishwasher water inlet valve 10023852	Water entering the dishwasher
Not draining well	Dishwasher drain hose 00744881	Drain flow to the sink/disposer
Poor cleaning, weak spray	Dishwasher spray arm 00745856	Upper spray coverage
Detergent not dispensing	Dishwasher dispenser assembly 00645208	Detergent and rinse aid delivery

Why it matters

Restricted fill, spray, or drain flow makes cycles longer and leaves residue on dishes. Regular filter and spray arm cleaning prevents repeat problems and reduces the chance you will need parts.

For code-based symptoms, use Bosch dishwasher error codes. To order parts, use the parts list for this model or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

For your Bosch dishwasher, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label, usually located on the inside edge of the door. Open the door and look along the left or right side of the tub opening for a sticker or metal tag.

Where to look on a Bosch dishwasher

Check these common rating-label locations:

• Inside the door opening on the left side wall of the tub
• Inside the door opening on the right side wall of the tub
• Along the top edge of the tub opening (visible with the door open)
• On the inner door panel edge near the latch area

If the label is dirty or faded, wipe it with a damp cloth and read it under a bright light.

What you should write down

Bosch labels often show multiple identifiers. Capture all of these so we can match parts correctly:

• Model number (for this unit: SHE53T52UC)
• FD number (factory date code)
• Z-NR / serial number
• Type (platform identifier)

Quick ID guide

Label item	What it’s used for	Why it matters
Model number	Finds diagrams and part list	Ensures correct fit for parts like a pump or latch
Serial/Z-NR	Production run details	Helps avoid ordering a look-alike part
FD number	Date code	Useful when a part changed mid-production

Why it matters

Bosch dishwashers can have small design changes within the same series. Using the exact model number from the rating label helps us match the correct parts, such as the dishwasher door latch assembly 00611312 or dishwasher water inlet valve 10023852, and avoid returns.

Helpful reference

Your SHE53T52UC installation guide also shows where to access key identification and connection areas during install, which can make the label easier to spot.
