Bosch SHE45M06UC/50 dishwasher Parts

The most common Bosch dishwasher complaint is a drain-related issue: water left in the tub because the filter area or drain path is restricted. On the Bosch SHE45M06UC, we also see frequent “won’t start” calls caused by the door not fully shutting and latching (a simple but common fix). See the SHE45M06UC owner's manual for the model’s Self Help checks.

• Standing water or bad odor: clogged sump/filter area, restricted drain hose, or a weak drain pump
• Won’t start: door not shut and latched, or a tripped breaker
• Not cleaning well: spray arm blockage, dirty filter, or loading issues
• Leaks at the door: worn door seal or debris on the sealing surfaces
• Long cycle times: cycle selection, incoming water temperature, or a restriction that slows washing/draining

1. Confirm the door closes firmly and clicks into the latch.
2. Cancel/drain the cycle (if your control panel supports it) and listen for the drain pump running.
3. Inspect and clean the filter area; remove labels, glass, and food debris.
4. Check the drain hose routing for kinks or a sag that traps water.
5. Verify the breaker is on if the indicator lights are off.

Drain restrictions and door-latch issues can look like “major” failures, but they often cause multiple symptoms at once (odor, poor cleaning, and long cycles). Fixing the root cause early helps prevent repeat clogs and reduces strain on the pump and motor.

Yes, Bosch dishwashers in the Series 6 class are worth the price when you prioritize quiet operation, strong cleaning performance, and long-term reliability. For Bosch SHE45M06UC, the value is strongest when you plan to keep the dishwasher for years and maintain key wear items.

Bosch models in this tier typically justify the cost with a better overall ownership experience, not just extra cycles.

• Quieter wash system and better sound insulation
• More consistent cleaning from a strong recirculation system
• Better fit-and-finish on racks, door, and controls
• Stronger long-term parts support for core components
• Better efficiency in normal, everyday loads

If your current dishwasher is otherwise in good shape, replacing a few common parts can restore performance for far less than a new unit.

A “worth it” dishwasher is one that stays quiet, cleans well, and avoids nuisance failures. Keeping the filter system clean and fixing small issues early (like a worn door seal or restricted drain hose) prevents bigger problems such as pump strain and repeat wash failures.

Use these steps before you judge cleaning or cycle results:

• Clean the filter area regularly; a clogged filter reduces spray pressure
• Confirm the spray arm spins freely and holes are not blocked
• Avoid overloading; keep tall items from blocking the spray pattern
• Verify the drain hose routing is not kinked or sagging
• Review cycle options and indicators in the SHE45M06UC owner’s manual

You usually do not need a technician right away for an E24 error on a Bosch SHE45M06UC dishwasher because it most often points to a drain restriction you can correct by cleaning the filter area and checking the drain path. If the dishwasher still will not drain after basic checks, schedule service.

Turn off power to the dishwasher at the breaker before handling water in the sump area; then work through these common E24 causes:

• Clean the filter area in the bottom of the tub (remove debris, labels, glass, food).
• Check that the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or sagging into a low spot.
• If your dishwasher drains through a garbage disposal, make sure the disposal inlet plug was knocked out.
• Verify the sink drain or air gap is not clogged (if your setup uses an air gap).
• Run a cancel or drain function after reassembly (see the steps in the owner's manual).

If the drain path is clear and E24 returns, the issue is typically a failing drain pump, a restriction you cannot access easily, or an electrical/control problem. At that point, service is the safest route because the manual warns against unqualified repairs and stresses using qualified service technicians and original replacement parts.

If troubleshooting points to a drain component, these are common replacements for this model:

E24 is a drain fault; continuing to run the dishwasher with restricted draining can leave dirty water in the tub, cause odors, and increase strain on the drain pump.
