Bosch SHE3AR55UC/18 dishwasher Parts

SHE3AR55UC is the Bosch dishwasher model number that identifies the exact design and parts list for your unit. We use it to match the correct replacement parts, installation requirements, and troubleshooting information for your dishwasher.

The model number is mainly a parts and service identifier, not a “code” with a single universal meaning.

• It tells us which Bosch dishwasher platform and configuration you have.
• It helps match compatible parts like a water inlet valve, drain pump, or door lock.
• It’s used to look up installation specs and connection details.
• It does not indicate cycle time, error codes, or a “message” about the dishwasher.

On Bosch dishwashers like model SHE3AR55UC, the model and serial tag is typically located on the right edge of the door when you open it.

• Open the door fully.
• Look along the right-hand inner edge of the door.
• Write down the model number and serial number exactly as shown.

Once you confirm the model number, you can use it to choose the correct documentation and parts.

Bosch often has multiple versions of a similar-looking dishwasher. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong part (for example, a drain hose or control board that will not fit) and helps ensure correct installation.

A Bosch dishwasher like model SHE3AR55UC typically lasts 10 years with normal household use. Lifespan depends most on water quality, how often it runs, and basic maintenance like keeping the filter area clean and preventing drain clogs.

• Hard water and heavy detergent use can leave mineral buildup on internal parts
• Frequent cycles (multiple loads per day) increase wear on the pump and heater
• Poor draining or standing water strains the drain system
• Leaks can damage wiring, the control, and insulation
• Overloading racks can break rollers and stress the door

Use these habits to reduce wear on the motor, heat pump, and seals:

• Run hot water at the sink before starting a cycle
• Clean the sump and filter area regularly (per the installation guide)
• Keep the spray arms clear of debris
• Use the right detergent amount for your water hardness
• Inspect the door seal for nicks and flattening

Knowing the typical 10-year lifespan helps you decide whether to repair (often cost-effective for a drain or fill issue) or plan a replacement if multiple major systems are failing.

For Bosch dishwasher model SHE3AR55UC, the most commonly replaced parts are the ones tied to filling, draining, sealing, and rack movement. If you match symptoms to the right system first, you usually avoid replacing good parts.

These are frequent wear or failure items on dishwashers:

• Fill components: dishwasher water inlet valve 00622058, dishwasher water inlet port 00645147
• Drain components: dishwasher drain pump 00611332, dishwasher drain hose 00668108 (also dishwasher drain hose 00645149), dishwasher check valve 00611320
• Leak prevention: dishwasher door seal 00645141

• Controls and starting: dishwasher door lock 00630783, dishwasher on/off switch 00611295

• Verify the symptom (fill, drain, leak, or rack issue)
• Check for simple causes first (kinked hose, clogged air gap, debris in sump)
• Use the exploded-view diagrams and steps in the installation guide
• Replace only the failed component, then run a test cycle

Dishwashers often show the same symptom for different reasons (for example, “not draining” can be a hose blockage or a failed pump). Matching the symptom to the correct system saves time and prevents repeat repairs.
