SHE43DM6N

Where this exact model fits

SHE43DM6N belongs to Bosch’s 300 Series and is specified for 12 place settings with a 48 dBA sound rating. The visible black face and front-facing controls define how this particular SKU appears in the kitchen. Unlike a panel-ready model, this unit arrives with its own finished door. The capacity figure is a standardized place-setting measure; how comfortably larger cookware fits depends on the shape and arrangement of the real load. The sound figure identifies this listing rather than promising the same perceived noise in every room.

Programs, options and loading choices

The specification names these programs for SHE43DM6N: Heavy, Auto, Normal, Speed 60, Favorite. Bosch lists Remote Start, Sanitize, Extra Dry separately as options. That separation matters when comparing models: a program is the cycle selected for a load, while an option modifies an available cycle where the manual allows it. The named Speed 60 cycle gives this model a distinct short-cycle choice alongside the more conventional loads. Review the actual control labels before assuming every option can be combined with every program. Bosch pairs the PureDry® drying entry with a stainless steel tub on this exact page. The two fields describe different parts of the design. If the complaint is wet dishes, first identify the selected wash and drying option and the load arrangement; the material of the tub alone is not a diagnosis.

Published consumption and connection figures

For SHE43DM6N, Bosch publishes 269 kWh of annual electricity use and 753 gallons of water. These are annual comparison figures on its product listing, not a meter reading for one wash or a promise for every household. The same sheet marks this configuration not ENERGY STAR certified. Its power cord is listed at 67 inches and net appliance weight at 88 pounds. A replacement check should include the outlet position, route for the cord and actual cabinet access; annual efficiency figures alone cannot establish physical fit. The black exterior and a recessed handle are installation-facing details for SHE43DM6N; the tub is stainless steel. A matching series badge does not settle whether a replacement door, grip and cabinet front will look or fit the same. Check the exact product drawings before choosing a color variant.

Comparison with related Bosch listings

Bosch identifies SHE43DM2N separately: it is a 300 Series unit with 12 place settings, 48 dBA and a white finish. For SHE43DM6N, the corresponding figures are 12 place settings and 48 dBA, with a black finish. Where those figures match, the model numbers should not be read as proof of a different cleaning system. The cited product pages, rather than a suffix guessed from the SKU, establish the real distinction. The control-menu distinction is concrete on SHE43DM6N: Heavy is named as a program, while Extra Dry is named as an option. A shopper comparing Bosch panels should check which is selected as a cycle and which modifies one, then consult the manual before assuming the two can be combined.

For a replacement plan, Bosch identifies SHE43DM6N as built under a counter with adjustable feet and a 78 3/4″ outlet hose. The toe kick is listed as black. Its black 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.
