Bosch SHE68T55UC/02 dishwasher Parts

On the Bosch dishwasher model SHE68T55UC, you can typically force a drain by canceling the current cycle (using the control-panel cancel/drain function) so the unit runs the drain pump for a short period to empty the tub. If it still will not drain, the issue is usually a drain-path blockage or an installation problem with the drain hose height.

• Press the Start/Reset (cancel) function and hold it until the dishwasher begins canceling; many Bosch units drain during cancel.
• Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to run and the tub to empty.
• If water remains, turn power off at the breaker, then check the filter area and sump for debris.
• Confirm the drain hose is not kinked behind the unit.

The installation requirements matter because an incorrectly routed hose can cause slow draining or standing water.

• Keep one section of the drain hose secured at least 20 inches (508 mm) above the cabinet floor.
• Do not exceed 43 inches for the high loop height.
• If connecting to a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer inlet plug is removed.
• Use an air gap if required by local code.

For the exact routing and fastening method, follow the installation guide.

If the cancel/drain function runs but water does not move (or you hear humming), a failed pump or a blocked hose is common.

Common drain-related parts for this model include:

• Dishwasher drain hose 00744881 (kinked, clogged, or damaged)
• Dishwasher drain pump 00620774 (pump not moving water)

Standing water can trigger Bosch drain errors, cause odors, and reduce wash performance. Correct drain hose height and a clear drain path are the fastest fixes before replacing parts.

To help prevent a Bosch E25 error on your Bosch SHE68T55UC dishwasher, we focus on keeping the drain path clear and the unit installed so hoses do not kink. Regular filter cleaning plus correct drain-hose routing prevents most “not draining” conditions.

• Clean the filter system regularly; rinse with warm water and remove grease and debris.
• Check the sump area under the filters for glass, labels, bones, and other hard debris.
• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or pinched behind the dishwasher.
• Keep the sink/disposer connection clear so the dishwasher can push water out freely.
• Run hot water at the sink briefly before starting a cycle if your hot water has been sitting.

A surprising number of E25 drain issues come from hose routing after installation or after the dishwasher has been pulled out for service. The installation instructions for this model emphasize pulling hoses through the cabinet opening and keeping slack managed so hoses do not kink.

Use these checks as a quick standard:

For the exact routing and “pull hoses so they do not get kinked” steps, follow the SHE68T55UC installation guide.

If you have cleaned filters and confirmed the hose is clear and unkinked, a weak or jammed drain pump can also trigger drain errors.

Common signs:

• You hear a humming during drain but little or no water leaves.
• Water remains in the bottom after cancel/drain.
• Draining works intermittently.

In that case, inspect and, if needed, replace the dishwasher drain pump 00620774 (part ID 00620774).

E25 is typically a “drain system can’t move water” situation. Preventing clogs and preventing hose kinks protects the drain pump, reduces standing water odors, and helps your Bosch dishwasher finish cycles normally.

Yes. On a Bosch dishwasher like model SHE68T55UC, an E18-style water code is commonly tied to a water fill or water level problem, which often starts with the home water supply (shutoff valve, pressure, or a restricted inlet). Use the SHE68T55UC installation guide to confirm proper supply temperature, pressure, and connection basics.

• Confirm the hot water shutoff valve is fully open.
• Verify the dishwasher is connected to hot water and the heater is set to deliver about 120°F (49°C).
• Make sure supply pressure is in the typical operating range of 15 to 145 psi.
• Inspect the water line for sharp bends or kinks that restrict flow.
• Flush the incoming water line for about 5 minutes (with water off to the dishwasher) to clear debris before reconnecting.
• After reconnecting, turn water on and check every fitting for leaks.

If the supply is good but the dishwasher still struggles to fill, these model-compatible parts are common suspects:

• Dishwasher water inlet valve 10023852 (valve not opening fully, clogged screen, or electrical failure)
• Dishwasher fill funnel assembly 11030996 (restriction or misrouting that affects fill path)
• Dishwasher turbidity sensor 00611323 (can contribute to abnormal fill behavior if it misreads water conditions)

A restricted water supply can prevent proper wash action and can also increase run time because the dishwasher cannot reach the expected fill level or temperature.

If an error code is displayed, match it to the exact symptom using Bosch dishwasher error codes.
