Water not pumped from dishwasher
Make certain the drain hose isn’t kinked, clogged,
or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of
the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the
dishwasher’s enclosure floor (see the Installation
Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the
filter system isn’t clogged (see the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen
sink drain may be clogged; you may need a
plumber rather than a serviceman for the
dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it
may be clogged.
Detergent dispenser cover will not shut
You may not be correctly shutting the detergent
dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and
should be cancelled. Go to the Adding Detergent
and Rinse Agent section of this manual for
instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser
cover. Go to the Operating the Dishwasher
section of this manual for instructions on
canceling a cycle.
Streaks on glassware
Too much rinse agent is being dispensed. Go to
the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of
this manual for instructions on decreasing the
amount of rinse agent dispensed.
Rattling noises
Utensils may not be properly arranged.
Suds in dishwasher
You may have used the wrong type of
dishwashing detergent. Use only automatic
dishwasher detergents.
Unsatisfactory washing results
• Incorrect amount of detergent.
• Utensils incorrectly arranged or rack
overloaded.
• Spray arm rotation blocked by utensils.
• Spray arm nozzles need cleaning.
• Filters not properly fitted into position.
• Unsuitable cycle selected.
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems
that are unrelated to a malfunction of the
dishwasher itself. The following information may
help you with a dishwasher problem without your
having to call a repair person.
Dishes do not dry
The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check
the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary.
Dishware drying can be accelerated and
enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly
and propping it open with the top rack.
Indicator light(s) do not come on
A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker
tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your
fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or
reset the breaker if necessary.
Dishwasher does not start
• The dishwasher door may not be properly
shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut
and latched.
• The appliance plug has not been inserted.
• The water supply
has not been turned on.
• The Aqua Stop,
the filter on the
water supply
hose, is blocked.
See Figure 22. To
clean, switch off
the appliance and
pull out the main
plug. Turn off the tap and clean the filter
located at the connection of the supply hose.
Restore the power, turn on the water supply
and switch on the appliance.
Dishwasher runs a long time
If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run
time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to
cold incoming water. Before starting the
dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink
nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it
runs hot, then turn off the water and start the
dishwasher.
Machine cycle does not advance to rinse
NOTE
: The Installation Manual that came with
your Bosch dishwasher will help you with the
following instructions. The water supply line may
be shut off. Check the water supply valve and
open it if it’s shut.
