How to Access a Bosch SHY66 Dishwasher Float Switch

Accessing the float switch on a Bosch SHY66 is similar to any other dishwasher. The float is on the inside right-front corner of the dishwasher. The float switch is below the dishwasher floor. Accessing the float switch requires removing the toe panel and base plate below the dishwasher door. Unlike many dishwashers though, Bosch uses Torx screws to secure most of its parts. Torx screws require special Torx screwdrivers which are available at home improvement centers. A Torx screwdriver look similar to a Phillips-head screwdriver except it has more points.
