What series is Bosch SHX68T55UC?
The Bosch SHX68T55UC dishwasher is commonly identified as part of the Bosch 800 Series lineup. For the most accurate confirmation for your exact configuration and features, match the model details in the SHX68T55UC owner's manual.
How to confirm the series for your exact dishwasher
We recommend verifying the series using the model identification and feature set listed for SHX68T55UC.
- Check the rating label for the full model identifier (including any suffix like “/01”).
- Compare listed features (noise level, rack style, controls) to Bosch series descriptions.
- Use the model number when ordering parts to avoid fit issues.
- If you are installing or reinstalling the unit, follow the electrical and cabinet enclosure requirements in the SHX68T55UC installation guide.
Why the series matters when buying parts
Series can affect component design and compatibility, especially for electrical and water-handling parts. Even within the same series, revisions can change which parts fit.
Common part categories where series and revision matter:
- Water fill components (valves, inlet assemblies)
- Heating and circulation components
- Door hardware and springs
- Control components and indicators
Quick reference: series vs. what to use for parts matching
| What you are checking | Best identifier to use | Example for this dishwasher |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing series | Series name | 800 Series |
| Exact parts fit | Full model and revision | SHX68T55UC/01 |
| Installation requirements | Installation guide specs | 120V, 60 Hz, 15A circuit (typical for this model type) |

What's the most common problem with a Bosch dishwasher?
The most common Bosch dishwasher problem we see is a heating issue: the dishwasher runs a very long time, ends with poor drying, or shows a heater-related error because the heater circuit is not working. On the Bosch SHX68T55UC, start with the self-help steps in the SHX68T55UC owner’s manual before replacing parts.
What it looks like (common symptoms)
- Cycle seems to run “forever” or repeatedly extends
- Dishes come out wet or cool (poor drying)
- Detergent does not dissolve well
- Error code related to heating or water temperature
- Wash performance drops, especially on heavy soil
What usually causes it
Heating complaints can come from a few different failures. These are the most common areas to check on a Bosch dishwasher:
| Likely cause | What you notice | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| Heater circuit/control issue | Long cycles, heater errors | Error code meaning, wiring connections, signs of overheating |
| Heating component problem | No heat, poor drying | Heater assembly or heater-in-pump operation |
| Water not filling correctly | No heat because water level is wrong | Supply valve open, inlet screen, fill performance |
| Sensor feedback issue | Heats incorrectly or throws errors | Temperature/turbidity sensing and connections |
Quick checks we recommend before ordering parts
- Reset power at the breaker for 1 minute, then retry a cycle.
- Run the hot water at the sink until it is hot, then start the dishwasher.
- Check for error codes and match them in Bosch dishwasher error codes.
- Confirm the dishwasher is on a dedicated 120V, 60 Hz circuit and connections are tight (power issues can mimic heater problems).
- If the unit is not installed, do not run it; tipping and shock hazards apply during installation work (see the SHX68T55UC installation guide).
Parts that are often involved (when diagnostics point there)
If troubleshooting indicates a fill or heating-related failure, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:
- Dishwasher water inlet valve 10023852 (when the dishwasher is not filling properly)
- Heat pump 00753351 (circulation and heating function on many Bosch designs)
- Sensor 00611323 (can affect wash logic and temperature-related decisions)
Why it matters
Bosch dishwashers adjust cycle time based on water temperature and sensor feedback. When the unit cannot heat water normally, it often compensates by extending the cycle, which increases run time and still leaves cleaning and drying results below normal.

Can I still use my appliance with an E22 error?
Yes, but we recommend stopping use of your Bosch SHX68T55UC dishwasher until you clear the cause of the E22 error. E22 is commonly tied to a drain or filter restriction; continuing to run cycles can leave water in the tub and lead to poor cleaning.
What to do first (safe, quick checks)
- Cancel the cycle and let the dishwasher drain if it will.
- Turn off power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.
- Remove and clean the filter area per the SHX68T55UC use and care manual.
- Check the drain path for kinks or clogs, including the dishwasher drain hose 00744881.
- If your sink has a garbage disposal, confirm the dishwasher drain connection is clear.
When it is OK to run it again
Run a short cycle only after the filter and drain path are clear and the dishwasher drains normally. If the error returns quickly, focus on the drain components and control sensing.
| What you notice | Most likely issue | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Water remains in bottom after cancel/drain | Drain restriction or drain hose issue | Clean filter, inspect hose routing and clogs |
| Intermittent draining, error comes and goes | Partial blockage or sensor reading issue | Recheck filter area; consider the sensor 00611323 if symptoms persist |
| No draining sound at all | Drain system problem | Inspect drain hose and pump area; service may be needed |
Why it matters
E22 is a drain-related warning; if water cannot move out correctly, the dishwasher can recirculate dirty water, leave residue on dishes, and potentially stop mid-cycle.
Installation and service notes
For Bosch dishwashers, proper drain routing and secure connections matter for reliable draining. We follow the guidance in the SHX68T55UC installation guide, including tightening water connections and avoiding unsafe DIY work on hot water lines.
