Bosch SHE43P06UC/64 dishwasher Parts

The most common issue we see on Bosch dishwashers like model SHE43P06UC is drainage trouble: the dishwasher finishes with water left in the tub or shows draining-related symptoms. In most cases, the fix starts with cleaning the filter area and checking the drain path per the SHE43P06UC owner's manual.

Quick checks that solve most “won’t drain” complaints

• Turn off power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.
• Remove and rinse the filter(s); clear food debris and labels.
• Check the drain hose routing for kinks and make sure it has a proper high loop.
• Inspect the sink/disposer inlet where the dishwasher drain connects; clear any blockage.
• Run a cancel/drain function (if equipped) and listen for the drain pump running.

Parts that commonly cause the problem

If cleaning and hose checks do not restore draining, these parts are frequent culprits on this model family:

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Water remains in tub, pump hums or is noisy	Drain pump	Drain pump 00642239
Slow drain, intermittent backups	Drain hose restriction or routing	Dishwasher drain hose 00668108
Overfilling or odd fill behavior that leads to draining errors	Fill system	Dishwasher water inlet valve 00622058

If it is not draining, do this in order

1. Clean the sump and filter area thoroughly.
2. Verify the drain hose installation and connection (especially after a disposer install).
3. Check for standing water and debris around the pump inlet.
4. If the pump runs but does not move water, replace the drain pump.

Why it matters

A restricted drain system can leave dirty water in the tub, cause odors, and trigger Bosch error conditions. Fixing the drain path first prevents unnecessary part replacement and gets wash performance back to normal.

On the Bosch SHE43P06UC dishwasher, an E06 error is typically tied to a door/latch sensing problem. We clear it by resetting power, then confirming the door closes firmly and the latch area is clean and aligned; if the code returns, the latch switch or wiring usually needs attention.

Quick steps to clear E06

• Turn the dishwasher off, then restore power (unplug or switch the breaker off for about 1 minute, then back on).
• Close the door firmly; press on the top edge to ensure the latch fully engages.
• Clean the latch strike area; remove detergent buildup or debris around the latch.
• Check for rack interference; a protruding utensil or tall pan can prevent full closure.
• Start a short cycle and watch for the code returning.

What to check if E06 comes back

E06 commonly returns when the control does not see a “door locked/closed” signal.

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Door feels loose or pops open	Latch not engaging	Inspect alignment; verify the strike is not bent
Code appears as soon as you press Start	Door lock switch not closing	Test the door lock switch and connections
Intermittent E06 during a cycle	Loose wiring at latch	Inspect harness routing and connectors

If you find the latch mechanism is worn or the switch is failing, replacing the door lock switch is a common fix on this style of Bosch dishwasher; use the SHE43P06UC user manual for the exact reset method and access guidance.

Why it matters

The dishwasher will not run if it cannot confirm the door is safely closed. Fixing the latch signal prevents no-start issues, mid-cycle stops, and nuisance beeping.

We don’t recommend “avoiding” a dishwasher brand across the board; reliability varies by model, installation, water quality, and how the unit is maintained. For a Bosch dishwasher like model SHE43P06UC, the best approach is to compare features you’ll actually use, confirm proper installation, and follow the cleaning and care steps in the SHE43P06UC owner’s manual.

What to look for instead of a “do not buy” list

• Serviceability: Are common wear parts (drain pump, inlet valve, door seal) readily available?
• Noise level: Quieter models typically cost more but can be worth it in open kitchens.
• Drying system: Condensation drying vs. heated drying affects results and cycle time.
• Cycle options you’ll use: Normal, Auto, Heavy, rinse, delay start.
• Filter maintenance: Easy-to-clean filters usually mean fewer odor and drain issues.

Quick comparison: common “regret” factors

Factor	What causes complaints	What to choose/check
Poor cleaning	Clogged filter, weak spray, overloading	Clean filter; load correctly; use quality detergent
Not draining	Blocked hose, failed pump, air gap issues	Verify drain routing; inspect hose and pump
Leaks	Worn seals, loose connections, over-sudsing	Check door seal; use dishwasher detergent only
Won’t start	Door latch, power, control settings	Confirm latch engagement; check breaker

If you’re troubleshooting a Bosch dishwasher (common issues)

If your current Bosch unit is acting up, these checks often solve the problem before you replace the dishwasher:

• Clean the filter area and remove debris from the sump
• Confirm the water supply valve is fully open
• Check for kinks or clogs in the drain line
• Make sure the door closes and latches firmly
• Review any displayed fault codes using Bosch dishwasher error codes

Parts that commonly affect performance

If symptoms point to a failed component, these are frequent culprits on many dishwashers:

• Drain pump 00642239 (won’t drain)
• Dishwasher water inlet valve 00622058 (won’t fill or fills slowly)
• Door seal 00432490 (leaks at the door)

Why it matters

A “brand to avoid” list can push you away from a good model and toward the wrong features. Focusing on installation, maintenance, and the specific model’s design usually prevents the problems that drive most negative reviews.

Most Bosch dishwashers, including the Bosch SHE43P06UC, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance (clean filters, correct detergent, and prompt leak/drain fixes). That range is a solid benchmark for planning repairs versus replacement.

What affects lifespan the most

• Water quality and scale: hard water speeds up wear on valves, pumps, and heating components.
• Filter and sump care: a clogged filter makes the wash system work harder and can reduce cleaning performance.
• Drain performance: slow draining strains the drain pump and can leave standing water.
• Door sealing: leaks can damage surrounding components and lead to repeated service issues.
• Load habits: overloading and blocked spray paths reduce cleaning and increase cycle stress.

Quick maintenance checklist (best ROI)

• Clean the filter area regularly; follow the steps in the SHE43P06UC owner’s manual.
• Run hot water at the sink before starting a cycle (helps filling and wash temperature).
• Use the right detergent amount; too much can cause residue and poor rinsing.
• Inspect for leaks at the bottom of the door and corners.
• Address “not draining” or “not filling” symptoms quickly to avoid pump or valve damage.

Common wear items and what they do

Part	What it impacts	Typical symptom when failing
Dishwasher water inlet valve 00622058	Filling	No fill, slow fill, or intermittent fill
Drain pump 00642239	Draining	Standing water, humming, poor drain
Door seal 00432490	Leak prevention	Water at the front/bottom of the door
Sump filter 00441905	Wash circulation protection	Poor cleaning, debris recirculation

Why it matters

If your dishwasher is approaching the 10-year mark, maintenance and small part replacements often restore performance. Past 15 years, repeated pump, leak, or control issues usually signal it is time to compare repair cost to replacement value.

Yes, repairing a Bosch dishwasher like model SHE43P06UC is usually worth it when the unit is under about 7 years old, the tub is not leaking, and the repair targets a common service part (pump, valve, seal) rather than multiple major failures. If repair cost approaches half the price of a comparable new dishwasher, replacement is the better value.

Quick decision checklist

• Repair when the dishwasher fills, washes, and drains but has one clear symptom (leak, no fill, no drain, poor cleaning).
• Replace when the tub is leaking or there are repeated electrical/control issues.
• Repair when the fix is a single part such as a valve, drain pump, or door seal.
• Replace when multiple major parts are needed (for example, pump plus harness plus control-related issues).
• Repair when racks, door, and hinges are solid and the unit is otherwise in good shape.

Common repairs that are often cost-effective

These are frequent, straightforward fixes on many Bosch dishwashers:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for SHE43P06UC
Not filling	Water inlet system	Dishwasher water inlet valve 00622058
Not draining	Drain path/pump	Drain pump 00642239 or dishwasher drain hose 00668108
Leaking at the door	Door sealing surface	Door seal 00432490

Why it matters

A targeted repair can restore cleaning performance and stop leaks without the cost and hassle of replacing and reinstalling a built-in dishwasher. On the other hand, replacing makes sense when the failure is structural (tub leak) or when repair costs stack up across multiple systems.

What we recommend before you decide

1. Check for stored fault indicators and symptom patterns using Bosch dishwasher error codes.
2. Confirm basic installation and drain routing details in the SHE43P06UC installation guide (especially if the issue is filling or draining).
3. If the dishwasher has a single clear failure point, price the part and labor first; if it is one major part, repair is typically the value play.
