More Details
What is the flow metre on a dishwasher?
The flow metre measures the flow rate of water entering the dishwasher. It accurately monitors the amount of water used during the cleaning cycle.
The flow metre helps the dishwasher regulate water levels, control the duration of different cycles, and ensure proper water distribution for effective cleaning.
Why does it get damaged?
The flow metre gets damaged with accumulation of debris or mineral deposits in the water supply. Excessive pressure fluctuations in the water supply or sudden water surges can place stress on the flow metre and potentially lead to damage.
In some cases, manufacturing defects or component failures can also result in the malfunction or damage of the flow metre.
Would this fit in my dishwasher?
This contact reed flow metre is a genuine Bosch dishwasher spare part. It also fits Balay, Blaupunkt, Constructa, Gaggenau, Gorenje, Ikea, Junker, Koenic, Kuppersbusch, Neff, Pitsos, Profilo, Siemens, Tecnik, Thermador, Viva, and Whirlpool dishwashers. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.

Easy fix
I saw someone else fixing an error code with a Bosch Classixx dishwasher using this part from Ransom Spares. For £15 is seemed worth a try. It took longer to pull the dishwasher out that to replace the part and the dishwasher is back working!

The part was exactly what I wanted and works prefect. Unfortunately Ransom took 4 working days before posting the item and this was after I had to call their customer services and then another 2/3 days for delivery poor service

Easy fit, well packaged, good instructions
Once I tracked down the likely cause of my dishwasher problem, I ordered a new reed flow meter from Ransom Spares. It arrived when I expected, well protected, and took me about 15 minutes to do the replacement. All is good now, the dishwasher is working perfectly.

Does this part come with fitting instructions? On my model, Bosch SMS69L22GB/44, the unit appears to be part of the matrix, and I can't for the life of me see how to release it! Appreciate your advice.
Matt · Bristol ·
Hi Matt, unfortunately this isn't supplied with fitting instructions. I'd recommend contacting an engineer to see if they can offer any advice.
