Bosch Dishwasher Repair of Drain Pump in El Cajon due to Broken Glass
Bosch builds quality dishwashers, but parts can and do fail occasionally. Especially if there is broken glass involved. Here is another example of a pump that was destroyed by sucking in broken glass from the bottom of the dishwasher. If the filter in the bottom of the dishwasher is not installed or reinstalled correctly, anything that gets past it could potentially destroy your dishwasher’s pump.
Bosch Dishwasher Repair Due To Pump Sucking In Broken Glass
The dishwasher’s drain pump is responsible for emptying out the water that builds up inside of your dishwasher. The pump can wear out for a number of reasons. Hard-water can be one of the main contributors to the early repair of your dishwasher’s pump. But broken glass in the bottom of the dishwasher from improperly stacked glassware will totally ruin the pump.
Glasses that are not stacked correctly in the dishwasher can fall or slam into each other when they’re blasted with the dishwasher’s water jets. When this happens the glass can break and fall to the bottom of the dishwasher. If the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher is not installed correctly after cleaning then big particles and broken glass can make their way past the filter. Next stop for anything that makes it past the filter is the drain pump.
When the drain pump encounters broken glass, the glass usually wins. The glass can and will destroy your dishwasher’s pump if it has the chance. One must careful when one stacks their glasses and glassware in the dishwasher as to avoid an untimely need of dishwasher repair.
