SHX4AEF5N

Bosch SHX4AEF5N

Most common issues on this model

  1. Kinked drain hose behind the machine after it was pushed hard into a shallow opening
  2. Leveling feet at the front winding out, so the door rubs the countertop lip
  3. Cross-threaded filter on refitting, which lets soil reach the pump

Put a bar handle on the 100 Plus tier and you have the SHX4AEF5N, a stainless machine with an anti-fingerprint finish, a RackMatic top rack, Home Connect, 14 place settings and a rating of 48 dBA. The dimension that matters most when swapping it in is its tub, 22 9/16 inches deep, because that decides whether older cabinetry will accept it unmodified.

Customers sometimes tell us a new Bosch refuses to sit flush. Before anyone cuts anything, we measure two things: the depth of the opening, and the path of the drain hose behind the machine. Pushing a machine hard into a shallow cabinet is how hoses get kinked.

Other jobs are small. Front leveling feet can wind out and let the door rub on the lip of the countertop. A filter that was cross-threaded when refitted lets soil bypass it and reach the pump, which is why a wash can get worse right after a cleaning. We start at the feet and the filter.

SHX4AEF5NSHX4AEF5N questions
The door scrapes the countertop when I pull it open. Why?

Probably the machine has sunk a little, or its front feet have turned downward. We remove the toe kick, adjust the height at the front, and the same adjustment fixes doors that need two pushes to latch.

Dishes came out worse after I washed the filter. What happened?

A filter must seat and lock in place. If it is not turned fully home, soil goes around it and straight into the pump. Put it back and rotate it clockwise as far as it will go.

Will a shallower tub fit my old cabinet run without cutting?

That is what the 22 9/16 inch depth is for, but check the opening and plan the hose route first. A hose squeezed into a tight space kinks and drains slowly.
