Bosch00628334 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.

Quick replacement and easy fix for my disabled dishwasher. It was an exact fit, and everything was easy to do. Saved hundreds versus having a repairman come out.Definitely a standard part on many different brands. Also called a "fill solenoid" sometimes.Good quality, looked and felt like the original.

In 1 1/2 hours had my dishwasher up and running again. This is a direct replacement of the old part, plug and play.

Easy install perfect fit. Appeared to be a legitimate part.

Exact fit for my Bosch series 500 dishwasher. Easy to replace.

Worked perfect for Bosch 500 series super silence plus.I bought another of these from amazon and it didn’t work - gave a e:17 error. This one was perfect.

My 6 year old Bosch 800 had the dreaded E15 error code and was making weird noises. I pulled it out and looked underneath to see a little water dripping out of the inlet pump. After a little research and watching a video on how to replace this part, I ordered it, popped it in the next morning and fixed my dishwasher!

I purchased this to replace a faulty unit. As soon as I started the machine, code 17 came up and after some troubleshooting found the new part was faulty. I requested a replacement and much to their credit, I received the part in under 2 days. Replaced it again and worked fine for 30 minutes then went bad. Decided then to buy an original part from Bosch and has worked fine with no issues. It cost more but more than worth of having to not keep pulling the machine out.
