Bosch SHE8PT55UC/05 dishwasher Parts

If your Bosch dishwasher is showing an E22 error, we recommend stopping use until you clear the drainage restriction. E22 is commonly tied to a clogged filter or blocked drain path, which can leave dirty water in the tub and reduce cleaning performance.

What to do first (safe, quick checks)

• Turn the dishwasher off, then disconnect power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.
• Remove and clean the filter system; rinse debris off under running water (use caution, debris can be sharp).
• Scoop out standing water with a sponge if needed.
• Check the waste water pump area for foreign objects; remove anything you find.
• Reinstall the pump cover and filters securely, then run a short cycle to test.

For the exact filter and pump-cover access steps for this model, follow the SHE8PT55UC owner’s manual.

When E22 keeps coming back

If cleaning the filters and pump area does not clear E22, focus on the most common “next” restrictions in the drain system.

Drain system checkpoints

Checkpoint	What you’re looking for	Typical fix
Filter and sump	Food soil, labels, glass	Clean and re-seat filters
Drain hose	Kink, clog, improper routing	Re-route or replace hose
Sink drain/air gap	Grease plug, blockage	Clear plumbing restriction

If the hose is damaged, kinked, or repeatedly clogging, replacing the dishwasher drain hose 00744881 is a practical next step.

Why it matters

Running with E22 can leave wash water trapped in the tub, which leads to poor wash results, odors, and extra strain on the drain system. Clearing the restriction restores normal draining and helps prevent repeat faults.

On the Bosch SHE8PT55UC dishwasher, the most common issues we see are drain-related (water left in the tub) and start-related (the dishwasher will not run). In many cases, the cause is something simple like the door not latching, a tripped breaker, or a clogged drain path; check the owner's manual Self Help section first.

Quick checks that solve many “common” problems

• Confirm the door is fully closed and latched (a partially latched door can prevent starting).
• Make sure the unit is turned on and a cycle was selected before closing the door.
• Cancel or reset the cycle if a previous cycle did not complete.
• Check Delay Start; turn it off if you need the dishwasher to start now.
• Verify the house breaker is on (or replace a blown fuse).
• Confirm the water supply valve under the sink is fully open.

When it is a drain problem (standing water)

Drain complaints are common because a small blockage can stop water flow.

Symptom	Most likely area to check	What to do first
Water remains in bottom	Filter/sump area	Clean debris and re-seat parts
Slow drain	Drain hose/air gap	Clear kinks and clogs
Hums but does not drain	Drain path restriction	Remove blockage, then retry

If the drain hose is split, kinked, or clogged beyond cleaning, replacing the dishwasher drain hose 00744881 is a common fix.

When it is a fill problem (not enough water)

If the dishwasher will not fill or fills slowly, focus on the water supply and inlet components.

• Confirm the shutoff valve is open and the supply line is not kinked.
• Check for low household water pressure at the sink.
• If the valve is electrically failing or mechanically stuck, replacing the dishwasher water inlet valve 10023852 can restore proper filling.

Why it matters

Drain and fill problems affect everything: wash performance, cycle time, and whether the dishwasher can start and complete a cycle. Addressing the basics first prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you pinpoint whether you have a hose/valve issue or a control/start issue.

For code-based symptoms, use our Bosch dishwasher error codes reference alongside the troubleshooting steps in your manual.

For your Bosch dishwasher, the model and serial number are printed on a label on the edge of the dishwasher door. Open the door and look along the inner door edge (typically the top or side edge) for the rating label; match the model number exactly.

Where to look on the dishwasher

Check these common label locations on Bosch dishwashers like SHE8PT55UC:

• On the inner edge of the door (the most common spot)
• Along the top edge of the door opening when the door is open
• Along the left or right side edge of the door (near the hinge area)
• On a sticker or metal plate with both model and serial information

For diagrams and model identification details, use the SHE8PT55UC owner's manual.

What the label looks like

The label usually includes several identifiers. Use the model number for parts lookup and the serial number for production details.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number (E-Nr)	Ordering the correct parts and matching diagrams	SHE8PT55UC
Serial number (FD/serial)	Identifying the unit’s build series	Letters and numbers

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

Bosch model numbers can be very similar, so we recommend:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (including any suffixes)
• Use the full model from the label when searching parts, not just the series name
• If your label shows a variation (such as a slash version like /05), match that when selecting diagrams

Why it matters

Parts like a water inlet valve, control board, or drain hose can vary by version even within the same Bosch model family. Using the exact model from the door-edge label helps ensure the replacement part fits and works correctly.
