Bosch SHX5AVF5UC/01 dishwasher Parts

Bosch “Silence Plus 44 dBA” is a quietness rating used on multiple Bosch dishwasher models, not one single model number. For your Bosch dishwasher model family, we recommend confirming the exact dBA rating and feature set in the owner's manual for your specific unit.

How to identify the exact model that’s 44 dBA

Use these quick checks to match the “Silence Plus 44 dBA” claim to a specific Bosch model:

• Check the model tag on the door edge or tub frame; it lists the full model and FD number.
• Compare the sound rating (dBA) and series name in the product specs section of the manual.
• Look for “Silence Plus” branding on the control panel or on the original sales sticker.
• If you have multiple Bosch dishwashers in a property, match by handle style (pocket handle vs. bar handle) and control layout.
• Use the parts list for your exact model to confirm you are shopping the correct diagrams and components.

What we can confirm for this page’s model

This Sears PartsDirect page is for Bosch dishwasher model SHX5AVF5UC. “Silence Plus” can apply to different Bosch series and years, so the most accurate way to confirm whether SHX5AVF5UC is specifically rated at 44 dBA is to use the model’s documentation and spec listing.

Common “quiet dishwasher” identifiers (typical)

What you see	What it usually means	Why it helps

“Silence Plus” label	Bosch quiet-series branding	Narrows to certain model families
Pocket handle design	Often tied to specific series	Helps match to a model line

Why it matters

A 44 dBA Bosch dishwasher is extremely quiet; knowing the exact model ensures you get the right replacement parts and the right troubleshooting steps (controls, error codes, and cycle behavior can vary by series).

Yes. For a built-in Bosch dishwasher like model SHX5AVF5UC, the “standard size” is the common 24-inch (about 60 cm) wide opening used for most U.S. built-in dishwashers; Bosch also makes a narrower 18-inch (about 45 cm) compact size. Confirm the exact cutout and hookup requirements in the SHX5AVF5UC owner's manual.

What “standard size” means for installation

Most built-in dishwashers are designed to fit a standard cabinet opening. The key measurements to check are:

• Width: typically 24 inches (or 18 inches for compact models)
• Height: typically adjustable to fit about 34 to 35 inches
• Depth: typically about 24 inches to align with standard counters
• Door clearance: enough room to open fully without hitting adjacent hardware
• Hookups: water supply, drain hose routing, and electrical connection location

Quick size guide (typical ranges)

Dishwasher type	Typical width	Typical height	Typical depth
Full-size built-in	~24 in (60 cm)	~34 to 35 in	~24 in
Compact built-in	~18 in (45 cm)	~34 to 35 in	~24 in

Why it matters

A dishwasher can be “standard width” and still not install cleanly if the height adjustment range, toe-kick clearance, or hose and power routing do not match your cabinet and plumbing. Verifying the cutout specs first helps prevent leaks, vibration, and door alignment issues.

Parts that often come up during installs or fit issues

If you are correcting a fit-related problem (leaks, door not closing, or drainage routing), these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

• Dishwasher door seal 00645141 (helps stop leaks around the door)
• Dishwasher drain hose 00668108 (routing and connection to the sink drain or disposer)
• Dishwasher door lock 00630783 (helps the door latch securely so cycles can run)

On the Bosch SHX5AVF5UC, the most common problems we see are maintenance-related: restricted water flow from a dirty filter or clogged spray arms, which leads to poor cleaning and sometimes poor draining. Leaks at the door and drain issues are also frequent on many Bosch dishwashers.

Most common issues (and what you’ll notice)

• Poor cleaning: food residue left on dishes, cloudy glasses
• Not draining: standing water in the bottom after the cycle
• Leaking at the door: water on the floor near the front corners
• Won’t start or stops mid-cycle: door not latching, control not responding
• Filling problems: slow fill, not enough water for strong spray

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Clean the filter area and remove any debris (seeds, labels, glass).
2. Inspect spray arms for clogs; clear holes with warm water and a soft brush.
3. Confirm the door closes firmly; a weak latch can prevent starting.
4. Check the drain path: sink/disposer connection, air gap (if used), and hose routing.
5. Run a maintenance clean (dishwasher cleaner or a hot cycle) to reduce grease buildup.

For model-specific cleaning steps and cycle guidance, use the SHX5AVF5UC owner's manual.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms on SHX5AVF5UC

If cleaning and basic checks do not fix the issue, these parts are frequent repair matches for the symptoms above:

Symptom	Common cause	Part to consider
Not draining, water left in tub	Drain pump not running or jammed	Dishwasher drain pump 00611332
Leaks at the door	Worn or deformed gasket	Dishwasher door seal 00645141
Won’t start, beeps, or stops	Door not sensing closed/locked	Dishwasher door lock 00630783
Not filling or weak wash action	Inlet valve restricted or failing	Dishwasher water inlet valve 00633970

You can order replacement parts from the parts list for your Bosch SHX5AVF5UC, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

Most “Bosch dishwasher problems” start as airflow, water-flow, or drainage restrictions. Fixing the root cause early helps prevent repeat clogs, odor, and pump strain, and it restores normal wash pressure and drying performance.

On Bosch dishwasher model SHX5AVF5UC, “/01” is the version (index) number of the model, not an error code. It identifies a specific production revision so we match the correct parts list and the correct instructions for your exact dishwasher; see the SHX5AVF5UC manual.

“/01” vs. “E01”: they are different

• SHX5AVF5UC/01: model revision used for parts matching and documentation.
• E01 (or E:01) on the display: an error code (a fault the dishwasher detected).
• If you’re seeing E01, use the Bosch dishwasher error codes guide to pinpoint the failure area.

Why “/01” matters when ordering parts

Bosch updates components across revisions; using the full model (including “/01”) helps ensure the replacement part fits, mounts correctly, and plugs into the right wiring harness.

Common part categories that can vary by revision include:

• Pumps and drain components
• Door latch and handle pieces
• Rack rollers and rack hardware
• Sensors and switches

What you see	What it means	What to do
SHX5AVF5UC/01	Model revision/index	Use it to match parts and the manual
E01 or E:01	Error code	Diagnose the fault and test related components

If you’re actually getting an E01 error

Turn off power at the breaker before any inspection.

• Reset power for 1 minute, then restart a cycle.
• Confirm the dishwasher drains properly and there is no standing water.
• Check that the door closes and latches firmly.
• Inspect for loose connectors at the pump area if the unit was recently moved.
• If the dishwasher will not drain, the dishwasher drain pump 00611332 is a common repair part to check.

Why it matters

Mixing up “/01” with “E01” leads to the wrong fix. “/01” is for correct Bosch parts and documentation; “E01” is a diagnostic direction for troubleshooting.
