Here is an issue that has nothing to do with whether the SHP65T52UC washes well. Bosch made it as a white pocket-handle unit with 15 place settings, a stainless tub, a RackMatic upper basket and condensation drying. White plastic of this age yellows, and the change is uneven, quickest on the side nearest a window or a range.
Bleach will not bring the original shade back. Replacement door panels have also become the hardest part to find for this vintage, well ahead of anything mechanical.
We keep the cosmetic question apart from the mechanical one. Over time the drain pump can slow until a thin film of water sits in the tub after each cycle, and that is worth repairing whatever the door looks like. Controls are on the top edge, and the tub is the deep type.
Not dependably, because the color change sits within the plastic rather than on its surface. Spare panels are scarce, so most owners accept it or replace the machine for looks.
Yes, if the tub is sound and the wash is good, mechanical repairs remain good value. Whether to change it for looks is a separate choice, and we will not push either way.
Usually the drain pump has weakened or the filter is partly blocked. It is worth checking, since water left in the sump goes stale and the problem tends to worsen.
