Dishwasher turns on, makes noise, then 5 mins later, light says clean, but nothing has happened. Wtf? Thanks

SOURCE: Bosch SHE43M was running when a pipe broke under

water is in the base and the float switch is activated. you must remove the water to deactivate.then hit the drain and cancell. let me tell you a quick joke .Im a old bosch tech and i had a call with the same problem. as soon as i got there i notice mouse droppings.the customer had a tech come by and told her she needed a circulation pump amodule the whole thing.wrong!!! what had happen was a mouse had made a mouse bed with the white packing foam and pulled it under the float in the unit. so the unit thought it had water in base and it went into drain mode . I removed foam and problem solved.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the great advice. Unfortunately, you didn't see it in time. We ended up paying for a new pump as Sears indicat. Will remember next time."

This is due to either a problem with your power board, or your drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller to see if there is any debris causing the impeller not to spin freely. You will need to call a service technician to replace the power board located on the right hand side of the machine base. Also check to see if there is a removable plastic peice in the sump by the drain pump. to do this, removie the sump screen (mesh screen in the floor of your dishwasher) by unscrewing it and pulling it up. This plastic peice (called a lid/cover) fits in the bottom by the drain pump. If this has come loose, then it simply place it back in place and it should fix your problem.

the problem you are describing is either related to the drain pump, or Power board. Perform the simple steps described above, or call a repair technician to come and diagnose it for you. If you are handy, you may be able to replace the board yourself.
