The SHE3AEE5N is sold under its own number but is a near relative of the SHE3AEM stainless model: a 100 Series dishwasher with an anti-fingerprint stainless front, a 14 place setting capacity, a rating of 50 dBA, ENERGY STAR certification, PureDry drying and PrecisionWash sensing. What sets it apart is its own list of cycles.
Between neighboring numbers in this range, the printed differences are a program or two. Under the door the machines are alike, so sourcing parts for a discontinued number is less of an ordeal than owners fear after failing to find it in a catalog.
Over the years, three things stand out. A heater coated in scale weakens heating and drying, the lower corners of the door gasket flatten and give a slow drip, and relays on the control board can chatter after a power surge. We judge the gasket and the heater first, since neither needs the machine taken apart.
Yes. Bosch lists dishwasher parts by assembly and not by sales number, and the same pump, heater, filter set, racks and door hardware turn up in other 100 Series machines of that era.
Book a visit, though it is not urgent. The usual cause is a gasket corner that has gone flat, and that seal is replaceable. Left alone, the water slowly works into the door insulation.
A scaled heater cannot bring water to full temperature, and drying suffers. Before suggesting anything larger, we check the heater and the rinse aid.
