Bosch SHE43C05UC/47 dishwasher Parts

Yes. Bosch built-in dishwashers like model SHE43C05UC are typically made to fit a standard 24-inch-wide opening, while some Bosch models are compact (about 18 inches wide). For the exact cutout and clearance requirements, use the SHE43C05UC owner’s manual.

What “standard size” means for dishwashers

Most homes in the U.S. are framed for one of these common dishwasher widths:

• 24-inch (full size): the most common built-in dishwasher opening
• 18-inch (compact): used in smaller kitchens and apartments
• Portable/freestanding: less common; connects to a sink faucet

Even when the width is “standard,” the depth and height clearances can vary slightly by model and installation style (flush to cabinets vs. proud).

Quick size guide (typical ranges)

Dishwasher type	Typical width	Typical height	Typical depth
Built-in full size	~24 in.	~33.5 to 35 in.	~24 in.
Built-in compact	~18 in.	~33.5 to 35 in.	~24 in.

What to check before you buy parts or plan an install

We recommend confirming these items for your Bosch dishwasher installation:

• Cabinet opening width (24-inch vs. 18-inch)
• Opening height (especially if flooring was added after the dishwasher was installed)
• Depth to the back wall, including room for the drain hose and water line
• Door clearance so the door opens fully without hitting a toe kick or nearby cabinet
• Leveling leg adjustment range (helps fine-tune height)

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation headaches and helps avoid issues like door rubbing, leaks at the door seal, or a dishwasher that cannot be leveled properly. If you are troubleshooting performance after an install, our how to clean and maintain your dishwasher guide also helps rule out filter and spray issues that can look like “fit” problems.

For Bosch dishwashers like model SHE43C05UC, the most common issues we see are performance problems that trace back to basic maintenance or water flow: dishes not drying well (often low rinse aid), poor cleaning from restricted circulation, or draining trouble from a blockage. Use the SHE43C05UC manual to match symptoms to the right checks.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Dishes do not dry: rinse-aid dispenser empty; Bosch also notes drying improves by cracking the door open after the cycle.
• Not cleaning well: restricted spray action (food debris, mineral buildup), overloaded racks, or a dirty filter area.
• Not draining: blockage in the drain path, drain hose routing issue, or a failing pump.
• Not filling: water supply valve closed, inlet screen clogged, or a weak inlet valve.
• Won’t start: door not fully shut and latched.

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm the door closes and latches firmly.
2. Check and refill rinse aid; then run a normal cycle and crack the door open at the end to improve drying.
3. Inspect the drain hose for kinks and make sure the sink drain connection is not clogged.
4. Clean the filter area and check spray arms for plugged holes.
5. If the unit shows an error, look it up in Bosch dishwasher error codes.

Parts that commonly come up when symptoms persist

Symptom	Common part to inspect	Example part for this model
Not draining	Drain pump	Drain pump 00642239
Not filling	Water inlet valve	Dishwasher water inlet valve 00607335
Poor wash circulation/noisy wash	Recirculation pump, seals	Dishwasher recirculation pump assembly 00442548

Why it matters

Most “common problems” on Bosch dishwashers are fixable without major teardown. Simple steps like keeping the door gasket clean, maintaining rinse aid, and keeping water paths clear help prevent repeat issues and protect key components like the drain pump and recirculation pump.

On Bosch dishwasher model SHE43C05UC, most error codes clear after you cancel the active cycle (Cancel/Drain) and then power the dishwasher off and back on. Use the exact button sequence shown in the SHE43C05UC/47 dishwasher manual so it matches your control-panel layout.

Clear the code: cancel/drain, then restart

Use this sequence first because it stops the cycle and pumps out water.

• Open the door just enough to access the controls.
• Press and hold the two buttons labeled “Cancel Drain” for 3 seconds (this is a paired-button function on this model series).
• Let the dishwasher finish draining.
• Press On/Off to turn the unit off.
• Wait at least 10 seconds (or until water noises stop).
• Press On/Off, select a cycle, then close the door to start.

If your controls look different

Bosch made versions with exposed front controls and hidden top controls. The cancel/drain function is the same, but the buttons you press can be in a different location.

Control style	What you do first	What you press to cancel/drain
Exposed front controls	Close door	The two keys labeled “Cancel Drain”
Hidden top controls	Open door to expose panel	The two keys labeled “Cancel Drain”

If the error code comes back

A returning code means the dishwasher is still detecting the problem. Start with the system tied to the symptom.

• Won’t drain or water left in tub: check for kinks or clogs in the drain path; inspect the drain hose 00263099.
• Fills slowly or not at all: confirm the house shutoff valve is fully open; inspect the dishwasher water inlet valve 00607335.
• Overfill or fill errors: make sure the float moves freely; test the dishwasher float switch 00165256.
• Wash issues and recurring faults: clean the filter area; check the sump filter 00441905.

Why it matters

Cancel/drain plus a power reset clears the control and gets the dishwasher back to a known starting point. If the code returns, fixing the underlying drain, fill, leak-sensing, or circulation issue prevents repeat shutdowns.

For code definitions by number, use Bosch dishwasher error codes.
