I watched several shorter videos to help diagnose, but this one was the best for showing how to change out that valve clearly and effectively! Thank you!
Your family is lucky to have you around! This is one of the best DIY videos ever, and we were able to replace the water valve. Unfortunately, the "Watertap" error continued, so next we replaced the 10-year-old hose and that was the culprit - a big chunk of rubber sitting in the end of the hose. (The problem all started after water had been turned off for another plumbing issue and the first dishwasher run afterward started the error. Maybe an air gap and the water pressure back on broke the piece loose from somewhere...)
@michaelfleishman2384: Thank you for such a nice compliment! Glad that you were able to figure out that the chunk of rubber in the hose was the culprit!
Great video. Question is I have a leak at the bottom coming from that beige part on the motor? Do you know what that part is? Or where that leak may be coming from? Thanks
If you are referring to the smooth beige tube around 5:35, that’s the waterline that feeds the water from the water inlet valve up the outside side of the dishwasher and into that box that distributes the water into the inside of the dishwasher. If you are referring to the ridged beige tubes that you can see around 5:58, those are the tubes that carry the water out of the dishwasher. One end has an O-ring seal where it is inserted into that box on the outside side of the dishwasher and another end is inserted into the sump which you can see at other parts of the video. The other one carries the water out and plugs into the side of the Garbage disposal underneath the sink. Either way you should be able to look up those parts on the Bosch parts diagram on their website, and other than the potential difficulty in removing the clamp, should be a fairly straightforward replacement. Good luck!
Thank you for the AWESOME video! I am going to use it to repair the leaky sump on my dishwasher. How did you decide which additional parts to replace? For example, you replaced the drain pump (0412) but not heat pump (0401 -- which I realize is quite expensive), water distributor (0406), or water switch motor (0407).
@Wayne Boras: Thanks! The busted water inlet was the motivation for this whole effort. As for the parts, it was admittedly a judgment call to balance cost against things with seals that I thought might be good to replace. The dishwasher had no problems heating the water so I punted on that part. It also wasn’t running loud or rough so I also punted on the distributor and switch motor. So basically since I knew I had to replace the water inlet I was looking for other low-hanging fruit. If any other parts act up later, I can always go back to replace those. Hope that helped.
Well it's not the water inlet valve. I thought I had it fixed after changing it out.... ran a cycle and all seemed aok. But a few hours later E15 again. Any thoughts before I get deeper into the machine? Thanks again for the video
@waynetcampbell: Where is the leak coming from? Slide the unit out and look under the side at the bottom tray with a flashlight and run a rinse cycle to see where water is leaking from to cause that styrofoam float to lift up and give you that E15. In my case I could clearly see water leaking from the inlet valve. Also the mounting of the inlet valve and the hose connection is tight and awkward if you have to push the unit back under a cabinet. Could it be that the connection from the hose to the water inlet valve was compromised?
@@LongologoProductions I have to take it out again, dry it and run a cycle.... But I found this video while searching and was very surprised - Basically Bosch created this part for leaks from the sump. Are they admitting to a design flaw? Thanks for replying! I'll let you know how this turns out. ruclips.net/video/BADahLEO5qw/видео.html
Thank you so much! I have nearly the identical unit (in white), now with E15. I'm going to start with the water inlet valve before going to deep, like you have. May I ask how old was your unit when you did this work?
Given the age of the dishwasher and because it is a pain to pull that whole thing out and take it apart, I figured that it would be better and cheaper in the long run to just replace those other parts now, since those other parts would probably be prone to fail or to leak next.
@Tom Leszczynski: Ha! I don’t remember how much twisting back-and-forth was required, or whether I had to work in a small flat blade screwdriver to start to free the hose. But the video is almost 30 min long as it is. Surely you can be spared another minute of twisting a hose back and forth. 😁. If it was really difficult I would have added a comment about it to the video or the description….
@@LongologoProductions I did it! By holding the middle of the pipe firm, and twisting and pulling hard on the valve. This increased the tension in the hose which eventually overcame the friction.

looks good. saved for the future. Replace what can be replaced once out is quite a thought since the job is quite involved. Tks for the effort.
Thank you, this video is tremendously helpful for my issue. Water inlet leak. You rock!!
Excellent video, thanks for creating it. Made short work of pulling my sump.
Your video is amazing. It gave me the knowledge and confidence to fix the same problem with the valve on my Bosch dishwasher. Thank you!
@trulien: What a wonderful compliment. Thanks so much and happy to know that it helped you!
The best video I've seen on dishwasher repair. I hope the "likes" may earn you enough rewards to reimburse you for your expenses and effort. Thanks!
@David Meade: Wow - thanks very much for the kind words! I hope this helped!
Outstanding video. Thank you
Excellent Video. You are good. Thank you for the education!
Dude, you rule. Thank yoy

I think I noted in the description of the video that the unit was 8 years old when I did these repairs. Good luck!
Mine is leaking from inside left side round plastic
Why did you replace all those parts? Wouldn’t it be better just to replace the leaking part?

selling sensor= turbity sesor
impelar= drain pump
5:30 please show me the effort and cursing to pull that hose off. Less "cut action" because we need to see HOW you accomplish the tasks.

I directed the hot air from a heat gun at the connection for about a minute or so until the tubing got warm and it pulled right off.
I would buy new machine than fix that old smelly garbage
