I have the same issue...Drain cycle runs and runs. Yes, when I pour water into the DW, I noticed it drained with no issue, but it just keeps running tho. I tried resetting it at circuit breaker. It turns off with on/off switch, but when you turn it back on...the drain cycle continues. Is something stuck? Do I need to reset something? or what? I see a small blue propeller at the bottom of the drain well, but that's it. By the way, this all started due to me noticing that my dishes were building up a film...so I pulled the racks out, unplugged all the arm ports and then scrubbed the inside with soap/vinegar solution. Before that? it ran fine. Also, read another post where some guy was referencing a "red tab/or button" to reset? I have NO clue what the issue is so any help would be appreciated. Dish pan hands are getting old.

Certainly sounds like the float is stuck in the over filled position or possible a bad float switch. Could also be a bad water fill valve - if you can blow air through it when removed then you need to replace it. You can follow this link to troubleshoot your washer, but note that its not exactly for your model - http://www.thermador.com/replacementparts/main/pdfs/SHU-complete-troubleshooting-guide.pdf Good luck!

If the unit is cleaning the bottom dishes normally, try unplugging the unit for 5 minutes to reset the control board. If that doesn't work, then the control board needs to be replaced. The problem is that control board is not diverting the water to the upper wash arm during the cycle. Possibly a program problem

searched oother sites. some report a circuit board problem where one of the solder joints overheated and burned out of contact. check yours and repair/replace if that is the problem.
if not at least you can rule it out.

Hi, I have an older dishwasher also and recently my wife also complained about it not cleaning right... so me being the man I am tried in vain to clean the things... Bought new spray arms online and installed them in minutes...now the thing works like new... However I have also found that if the heating element goes bad then that also can mess things up bad... So I would buy new spray arms, and also check out the heating element to make sure it is working... Here is a tip that will help you with the online buying...

Have you tried canceling the cycle? To cancel, turn the on/off switch to on, then press and hold for three seconds the two buttons labeled "Cancel Drain". Keep the door closed for the next minute so that the dishwasher can complete the cycle. During this time the pump will remove any water from the washer. Also you will notice that Bosch dishwashers always leave a little water in the system to keep the seals from drying out and going bad.
Hope this helps
