Black on the outside and Ascenta-era on the inside, the SHE3ARF6UC has a recessed handle, a stainless tub, PureDry drying, 14 place settings and a rating of 50 dBA. Its control strip uses indicator lights and no numeric display, so it announces trouble with a pattern of flashing lights and does not show an E-code.
That is an older approach, not a cruder one. A technician can still put it into a service test mode, and it senses the same underlying problems that a newer Bosch does. It simply never writes them out for you.
Most owners cannot read the pattern without the manual, which is where we come in. We also hear about a circulation pump bearing that starts to groan and grows into a grinding wash phase, and about a bearing under the lower spray arm so worn that the arm rides up and rubs the filter. We run the test mode first, then inspect the pump and arm.
For this generation that signals the safety trip in the base pan, which a newer Bosch would label E15. Shut off the water and book a visit; switching the power on and off will not clear it.
Yes. The platform has a technician test mode that steps through the machine's parts one at a time, and each part can then be tested electrically as it would be on any newer dishwasher.
A worn bearing, either in the circulation pump or under the lower spray arm. Stop using the machine until we have checked it, since a scraping arm can damage the filter.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
