SHE43DM5N

Where this exact model fits

Bosch lists the appliance dimensions as 33 7/8 x 23 9/16 x 23 3/4 inches in height × width × depth and the required opening as 33 7/8″ x 24″ x 24″ inches. These are two different measurements. Check the actual cabinetry, finished floor and utility positions before using the cutout size for a replacement purchase. The cutout measurement is a planning figure, not a substitute for checking the installation diagram, hose routing and available space behind the unit. The product page also identifies a tub made of stainless steel, with a recessed handle; such details help distinguish close-looking Bosch SKUs.

Bosch also lists EasyGlide rack movement and a recessed handle for this stainless SHE43DM5N version. In a replacement kitchen, check how the handle clears adjacent drawers and how far a loaded rack must pull out. The required cabinet opening alone cannot answer either of those everyday access questions.

How to read the documented warnings

The linked troubleshooting material for SHE43DM5N describes two four-LED patterns rather than a list of model-specific E codes. Four vertical LEDs lit together can represent a drain, water-inlet or supply-voltage condition. Four vertical LEDs flashing denote a technical fault. A lit group therefore does not isolate one cause; identifying whether the lamps are steady or flashing is the first useful observation.

Remote selections and visible feedback

For SHE43DM5N, Bosch puts Hand Wash and Rinse in its list of choices exclusive to Home Connect, while Remote Start appears in the standard option list. A user should therefore look in the app for those named extras instead of expecting a matching physical button. The status hardware on this product sheet is the controls rather than a listed floor projection; an end-of-program audible indicator is also listed. App availability and a physical indicator answer different questions. If there is a warning, record the exact on-machine lamp pattern or displayed characters before applying the manual’s troubleshooting steps. The separate annual figures are 269 kWh of electricity and 753 gallons of water. They are manufacturer comparison figures for the year, not the amount consumed by Heavy or any single wash. For a replacement decision, read the actual program menu alongside the annual data instead of treating it as a per-cycle measurement.

Comparison with related Bosch listings

A second useful reference is SGE53C55UC: Bosch lists it in the 300 Series at 13 place settings and 46 dBA, using PureDry® for drying. This model is a 300 Series listing with PureDry®. The two official sheets should be checked separately when assessing a replacement, because cabinet fit, controls and listed cycles may differ. The program menus are not identical: this page names Auto, Speed 60 where the other page names Auto 127.4-131°F, Rinse. That is a concrete menu difference to verify at the controls; a cycle described on one Bosch page cannot simply be assigned to the other machine.

For a replacement plan, Bosch identifies SHE43DM5N as built under a counter with adjustable feet and a 78 3/4″ outlet hose. The toe kick is listed as black. Its fingerprint-resistant stainless steel front includes a recessed handle, and the product page also names the EasyGlide rack system. Bosch lists Hand Wash and Rinse among its Home Connect-only choices. The smaller-capacity configuration pairs Heavy with Normal; its tub is stainless steel, and its visible status comes through the control-panel display. Taken together, those fields give a more precise replacement match than the exterior finish alone.
