BOSCH 00628334 Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve (Replaces 628334) Genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Part

An E15 error code would have helped! Read on… This item was purchased to replace the water inlet valve on my Bosch SHE53TF5UC/07 dishwasher. The dishwasher shut down and locked out due to the float switch closing. The base at the bottom of this dishwasher is designed to catch and detect water from plumbing leaks within the machine. The valve had developed a very slight “weep” which allowed just enough water to pool in the base to cause the float switch to close. Allegedly, this model is supposed to display a E15 error code when the float switch closes. However, the way the problem presented itself was that the control panel died (no illumination, and unresponsive) and the machine started making a cyclic running noise which sounded like the machine was continuously trying to drain (same sound as at the end of a wash cycle). The cyclic running noise only subsided after power was disconnected. Due to the absence of an error code, the control module became the suspected part. Initially, the dishwasher was pulled from the cabinet and laid over on its side. The water that was in the base did run onto the floor, but there was so little of it that it was believed to have been the water that normally sits in the sump, so it was not associated with any potential issues. A new control module was installed and the dishwasher appeared to have been fixed. However, after about two days of operation, the initial issue presented itself again. And again, in the absence of an error code, the module was again suspected. Because it seemed odd that a new module would fail so quickly, and given that the peripheral components within the system do not seem capable of causing the module to fail given that power goes into and is distributed by the module, an actual Bosh engineer was consulted. The Bosh engineer asserted that the most likely culprit was a “stuck float switch,” though he could not speculate as to why this would happen. However, it did assert that the machine “should give an E15 error code” when the float switch closes. Upon reinspection, I did find water in the base. Just enough to float the small Styrofoam disk high enough to close the float switch. After drying this water from the base, the machine did power up and appear fine. Unfortunately, there as no obvious source of the water. So, I ran the machine with it pulled out from the counter while I continuously peered into the base with a flashlight. After about ten minutes, I saw it. A small drop of water started to form on the inlet valve and then drip into the base. It was a very minor leak, but it was ultimately the cause of the problem. After replacing the valve, the machine seems to be working perfectly and water is no longer collecting in the base. My point is that the Bosh SHE53TF5UC/07 does not appear to give the E15 error code that would have helped with diagnosing this issue. I’ve included a photo to the valve that I removed. While it was not obvious while it was installed, it appears that the solenoid is starting to come loose of the valve housing. I hope this information helps someone.

This valve is unbelievably awesome. It has fulfilled all of my dreams in an inlet valve. Would buy this over and over again

I had the fated E15 code on a Bosch Dishwasher model Bosch SHP65T55UC/02. I swapped the part out without properly diagnosing the root cause. It turns out that this was not the cause of my leak. However, I can definitively confirm that this replacement part works without a hitch. It's only been in for a week but no issues with it. Now the real leak was elsewhere I and I did find it eventually. Word to the wise, please properly diagnose your issue before throwing parts at it. Now, this was a cheap part and as a preventative measure not the end of the world, since this is a wear part after all, but nevertheless, I would have saved a bit of money and done a better diagnosis. In the end it was the circulation pump shaft seal that was leaking for me so I'm going to wind up with a much more expensive repair. I intend to keep this dishwasher running forever if I had my druthers. So in the end if there is a wear part I will replace it. So all in all, not a waste, it was a simple fix, and got me acclimated to the innards of the dishwasher and gave me the confidence to move forward with the rest of the rebuild.

Did the job without leaking. Still no leaks a half year in.

My Bosch 800 series dishwasher started making a high-pitched squealing noise while it was running. A little research led me to this little gem. I was able to easily install it myself and it was a perfect fit. Looked identical to the one I replaced. I saved a ton of money by not having a repairman out to the house. Fixed the noise and now my dishwasher is silent again.

This replaced the original water inlet valve on my BOSCH 500 series dishwasher. The problem i had was the original inlet valve became obstructed with metal debris from my old water pipes after a modifications made at the hot water heater. A a few small pieces of rust lodged within this part caused the dishwasher to completely shut down/ lock out. The part I replaced had the following specification, though the part I here ordered did not. 33199046 268/24 110-127V 60Hz 9001343981 So the part I am reviewing was not specified as such, but is identical to the part that came in my bosch 500 dishwasher which needed replaced.

I could not identify what the threaded connection is. It's not NPT or GHT. You can get a GHT on enough to work, but it will drip.

Before I ordered from Amazon I had called my local major appliance dealer. They didn't have the part in stock and it would take 2 weeks or more to get one. Providing that their preferred distributor had one on the shelf. So having been in maintenance and engineering in another life, (retired now) I checked Amazon , I could have it in hand the next day. Upon the parts arrival I i was a bit wary of the packaging (plastic bag) and all. I would have been more assured if it had come in a box that gave it more protection from the banging around of normal shipping. It did come intact and since it is an OEM part. it was a Direct replacement as stated in the description. Beats the heck out of the cost of full dishwasher replacement. So yes value for the money.

I believe this is the exact part that was in the new one. I damaged mine at install and had to buy this one.

Works well as a replacement for Borsh inlet valve 9000655808. Easy to install, no leaking afterward. Recommended.

Fits our Kenmore perfectly. The picture on Amazon was perfect matching our old one.

Good to know this works for the Kenmore model in the title and probably the 1232 version. Dishwasher is now repaired.

Piece cam quickly and no problems with install.
