Bosch Dishwasher SHE43C cycle takes too long
Domestic dishwashers work by taking cold water and soaking the dishes as the water warms. Then it gives a good wash at high pressure, drains, refills, rinses and then hot rinses to dry.
If it is slow because of slow filling, check the water pressure and also clean the strainer filters on the supply hoses where they go into the machine.
If you want speed, buy a small under-counter commercial machine. They fill with hot water, have a tank heater and a rinse tank heater and the whole cycle is 3 1/2 minutes. Glasses first, plates and cutlery next, and pots and pans last.
Seems to be a known issue!! Videos here with solutions

Bosch SHU9925UC Dishwasher Stuck in Initial Drain Cycle
OK Bosch Dw fans.........here is the fix if your SHX dishwasher is stuck on the drain cycle. This may save you a couple hundred bucks.......so listen up. There is a tendency for the very small float switch to STICK in the ON position, which will cause the drain motor to continuously run......and DISallow any other function to work. DISCONNECT POWER. Did I mention to disconnect power? Take off the front base cover....2 torx screws. Remove the other 2 torx screws in the metal clips that fasten the top of the DW to the underside of your countertop. NOW...carefull slide your DW out. You may have to disconnect your water and elec supply if you do not have enough slack to pull it out. Once the DW is out of the cabinet, remove the shiny metal cover on the LEFT side by removing a single torx screw. You will now see a small plastic assembly with a red plastic piece that moves up and down as it rides on a small red styrofoam float. This up and down movement engages a small white plastic switch visible with 3 wires coming out of it. You can carefully UNSNAP this switch out of its mount, and pull the 3 wire plug off of it. THere is a small square blue plastic tab that is supposed to easily slide in and out of the switch. If it is stuck IN, you can sometimes tap the switch and the blue tab will pop out, which is what it is supposed to do without tapping it. You can carefully with a knife blade separate the case on this switch and note the way it comes apart. Clean out any micro debris out of the small channels that the blue tab ride up and down in. Then set it in the channel while holding up the small switch tab that rides on it and see if it slides up and down without sticking! I like to take a piece of wax paper and rub in on the channel and blue tap to provide some lube for the switch to slide easily on. Now, put the switch back on and manually move the red plastic assembly up and down while you are watching the blue tab. The tab should ride up and down with the red assy. If not, buy a new switch. Google the # on the switch and order one. If the tab slides up and down, put things together in reverse order and give it a try. Hope it works for you. This should take you an hour give or take. Take the $200 you just saved and have a night out on me. ........so even though these German Appliances have a good name because of past reliability, the american tendency to value engineer them with plastic parts to reduce costs and increase profit.........just cost you an hour of your time. Will we ever learn.? ......if it ain't broke, value engineer it until it only lasts through the warranty period so you can then collect service and parts blood money from your fellow american.

How to clean bosh dishwasher inlet water filter
Most of these units have a waterproof solenoid inlet on the hose. If yours has this you can pull out the rubber washer in the end revealing a plastic mesh cover. This can also be pulled out with pliers. It can be a bit stiff to take care not to muller it!
Under the plastic mesh is also a restriction valve which helps to slow the water pressure down. This has a little plastic shaft with a small rubber seal around it and can also be pulled out and cleaned.

Just installed a new control panel on my bosch dw silence plus 44-dba and no lights on display panel come on,i have tried all power sources to the unit and all have power the door latch seems to be ok
Hello. The control panel most likely wasn't the problem...the main control board probably was blown out causing the user interface to remain off. What was the unit doing or not doing that made you replace the control panel?
BIG TIP--if you had a power interruption (such as lights dimming in the house--called a "brownout") or a full scale outage where the clocks reset, the main board very well could have been damaged by the current surge when the power came back on. *NORMALLY**, if the appliance wasn't damaged immediately, 4-6 weeks after the event, strange things will start happening or not happening with appliances because chips on the the board were damaged and start to fail. I tell all my customers to check into WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTORS--you can buy them at Lowe's or Home Depot and, your power company might install them on your house for a little extra on the bill each month--money well spent!
