How Much Does This Repair Cost?
For most common dishwasher repairs across these top models, DIY parts typically run $15–$120 depending on the component — door latches and spray arms on the low end, control boards and circulation pumps on the high end. A professional repair for the same jobs usually lands between $150–$400 including labor, so DIY savings are real and worth attempting on straightforward fixes.

🔨 Pro Tip from Dave
One thing most DIYers miss on the Bosch SHPM65Z55N is that the circulation pump motor (part number 12008925) has a plastic impeller that cracks and causes weak wash pressure — people replace the whole pump when just the impeller kit fixes it. Also, never skip resetting the unit by holding the Start button for 3 seconds before diagnosing; half the error codes clear themselves and techs charge a full service call for that simple step.
