Bosch SHX5AV52UC/22 dishwasher Parts

We do not recommend running your Bosch dishwasher model SHX5AV52UC when it’s showing an E22 error. E22 points to a drain or filter restriction; continuing to run cycles can leave dirty water in the tub, trigger repeated shutdowns, and strain the drain system.

What E22 usually means

E22 is most commonly tied to restricted water flow through the filter area or a drain path issue.

Common causes include:

• Filter assembly clogged with food soil or debris
• Standing water in the sump area
• Drain hose kinked or partially blocked
• Check valve stuck or obstructed
• Drain pump not moving water out

What to do first (safe, quick checks)

1. Cancel the cycle and let the unit stop completely.
2. Remove and clean the filter system; rinse until clear.
3. Check the sump area for glass, labels, or bones.
4. Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks and clogs.
5. Restore power and run a short rinse to confirm draining.

For model-specific access steps and filter removal details, follow the owner's manual.

When a part is likely needed

If the filter and drain path are clear but E22 returns, a failed drain component is a common next suspect.

Symptom you see	Most likely area	Part to consider for SHX5AV52UC
Water remains in tub after cancel/drain	Drain pump not pumping	Dishwasher drain pump 00631200
Slow drain, gurgling, intermittent drain	Drain restriction or backflow	Dishwasher check valve 00611320
Drains only when hose is repositioned	Kinked or restricted hose	Dishwasher drain hose 00668108

Why it matters

E22 is a protection signal that the dishwasher cannot move water correctly. Clearing the restriction early helps prevent repeat errors, poor cleaning, odors, and unnecessary wear on the drain pump and sump system.

To force your Bosch dishwasher to drain, cancel the current cycle so the drain pump runs. On many Bosch models (including SHX5AV52UC), pressing and holding Start for about 3 to 5 seconds triggers a cancel-drain sequence; confirm the exact button sequence in the owner's manual.

Quick steps to force a drain

• Press Start (or Start/Reset) and hold 3 to 5 seconds.
• Close the door and wait; you should hear the drain pump run for up to a couple minutes.
• If water remains, run the cancel-drain again once.
• Turn off power at the breaker before checking the sump area for debris.
• Clean the filter area and remove standing water with a cup or turkey baster if needed.

If it still will not drain

Most drain failures come from a restriction in the drain path or a weak pump.

• Check the sink/disposer connection and make sure the drain hose has a high loop.
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks or a clog; replace if damaged (see dishwasher drain hose 00668108).
• If the dishwasher hums but does not move water, the pump may be jammed or failing (see dishwasher drain pump 00631200).
• If you see an error code, use Bosch dishwasher error codes to match the code to the most likely cause.

What to check first (fast diagnosis)

What you notice	Most likely cause	What we do next
Water left in tub, no pump sound	Cancel-drain not initiated, door not latched	Repeat cancel-drain; verify door closes fully
Pump sound but slow/no drain	Clog in filter, hose, or check valve	Clean filter area; inspect hose and check valve
Drains sometimes, not always	Partial blockage or intermittent pump	Inspect hose routing; consider pump replacement

Why it matters

Standing water can redeposit soil on dishes, cause odors, and strain the drain system. Forcing a drain is a good first step, but clearing the filter area and verifying the drain hose routing usually prevents repeat problems.

The model number for your Bosch dishwasher is printed on the appliance’s rating label, not on the control panel. On SHX5AV52UC dishwashers, you’ll typically find that label on the door edge or around the tub opening when you open the door; confirm the exact label location in the SHX5AV52UC owner’s manual.

Where to look on the dishwasher

Check these common Bosch dishwasher label locations (open the door and use a flashlight):

• Top edge of the door (along the inner lip)
• Left or right side edge of the door
• Frame area around the tub opening
• Side wall of the tub near the front

What the model number looks like

Bosch model numbers are usually a mix of letters and numbers. For this unit, you’re looking for SHX5AV52UC (sometimes followed by a slash and additional digits on the rating label).

Label item	What it’s used for	Example you might see
Model (E-Nr)	Identifies the exact dishwasher design	SHX5AV52UC/22
FD number	Production date code	FD #### ####
Serial	Unique unit identifier	Z- or S/N style code

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

Using the full model from the rating label helps match the correct Bosch parts list and diagrams.

• Copy the model exactly, including any suffix after a slash
• Take a clear photo of the label before you start shopping
• Use the model from the label (not the sales receipt or box)
• If you’re comparing parts, match by model first, then by part ID

Why it matters

Bosch dishwashers often have multiple versions that look identical but use different components (for example, a different dishwasher electronic control board 12010649 or dishwasher water inlet valve 10023853). The exact model from the rating label keeps your repair and parts match accurate.
