It is either the waste water pump has stopped working, whichis accessible from below the dishwasher (lay dishwasher on back and remove 2screws from bottom plate) or alternately the float (open dishwasher door, removebottom basket and lift dome shaped float up and down a few times).

Clog or hose has blockage. You will have to trace down if the water is feeding into the dishwasher but my guess is that you have a problem with the feed hose. Get a manual and find where the water feeds into it.

what is happenig i believe and has happened to me 2 times is that the water level float that is on the left side of dishwasher is stuck.

Either remove side panel and flick lever or pull dishwasher out and tap lower portion of panel and this will cause the level to move and then see hat happens

SOUND LIKE WATER FILTER IS BAD

Remove front panel then you can access the handle screws. Open the door and remove the 'torx' screws surrounding the perimeter of the door.

Dishwasher Problems - Water will not drain out

Hello there:
i will post this solution in 2 separate post due to the length of it ok
Water-inlet valve Most cleaning problems are caused by the dishwasher not getting enough wash water, so the water-inlet valve is often to blame. This valve is usually at the bottom left or right of the dishwasher, behind the lower access panel. It's the device with the main water line from the house, a rubber tube to the dishwasher, and two wires attached to it. When a water-inlet valve is defective, you may hear the sound that's usually referred to as "water hammer." If the water-inlet valve is defective, you need to completely replace it. Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve Replacement

Be sure to read and understand any instructions that come with the new water inlet valve.

ools required:

Adjustable wrench

Multi-Screwdriver

Pliers

Step 1. Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source.

Note: Dishwashers are usually wired directly to the home's electrical system. To disconnect the power, switch off the circuit breaker or remove the fuse for the electrical circuit the dishwasher is attached to. Try to turn the unit on after disconnecting the power to be sure you were successful.

The problem is hard water. www.dishwasherfilter.com has a great new product out that will solve this problem once and for all. It filters the water entering your dishwasher and leaves your dishes looking amazing. They even have a money guarantee if you are not completely satisfied. Check it out. You will love it.

Check inlet strainer & water pump in the machine.

There is a pass through the lower back side of the dishwasher that also has a restraining device to prevent drain hose from being pulled off of drain pump. After passing hose through this opening, connect hose to drain pump. Note: there is another restraining device built into lower plastic housing which has a finger notch to accept hose and keeps the drain hose engaged in to drain pump by not allowing hose to back out of drain pump/ hose interface.

try turning off for a while if that does not work get a repair man good luck SHY................helen

find out first from boschwhats covered and whats not. i think bosch has a 2year iw on electrionics, and some models has a recall, go to thermador .com and you will be able toget the # to bosch which is the same company and give them your model # and serial # they will tell you whats is covered and whats not.

Door may have been pulled off its hinges, the d/w doors electric is connected at the bottom of the door and when it was pulled, there is the possibility that a short occurred.

The door of the bosch will pull straight up, carefully remove the door and then carefully place door back onto the hinges and making sure the door is seated properly. The door should close. The hope is that once the door closes, the sensors to the door should hopefully work, properly.

Try these before the more costly options which is either a new door or the call of a service technician.

Many times the washing arms of the bosch and few other models will clog up with old soap or debris.

Try removing arms and clean out any debris by blowing air through unit and if need be a toothpick or dental tool to remove any solid debris that is stuck. Reattach arms and run through cycle. Hopefully this works otherwise it could very well be the pump.

Debruce Polish is the answer. It is non-toxic and odorless, DeBruce will remove the rust and pacify the finish. DeBruce is perfect for touch ups and great on ceramic cook tops and more. We buy DeBruce polish at debrucepolish.com.

have you removed the filter? if it gets clogged the dishwasher wont drain. other wise is sounds like a faulty drain pump
