However carefully I clean the filters, stack the contents, use high quality dishwasher tabs etc the machine leaves food debris all over the plates and inside the machine casing. Any stray rice grains or spinach causes particular problems. I can't work out how the food debris can actually pass through the filters and be pumped out. I am clearing the plates so thoroughly now that I might as well wash them by hand! I have never had this with other makes of dishwasher that I have had before. This was an expensive machine, it is only a few months old and I am thoroughly fed up with it.
Like Chiggsy I clean the filter very carefully but food is often left on items; also, clean dry cups and glasses foam a bit when water is poured in as if a soapy film has been left. When I rinse carefully subsequent fillings are OK. Previous dishwashers have had a fine gauze filter fitted to the outside of the courser main filter. In my current model this fine gauze fits below the perforated "tray" in which the main filter fits and relies on compression (as the main filter is screwed down) to seal it top and bottom. as the main filter only screws down so far (bayonet fitting) I am not sure how well the fine one seals. Model is Exxcel (can't find more detailed reference) The top rack cleans fine....the bottom rack doesn't...As odd as it seems the left front bottom doesn't clean well..I don't see a blockage and the arm spins freely...HELP!!
1. No water
Make sure you get water to the dishwasher. Check to see if the water
shut-off valve (located under the sink) is open. If you get water to
the dishwasher, but there is still no water inside during the fill
cycle, the problem might be with a faulty water valve (located at
the bottom of the dishwasher, behind the kick panel, on either
side), in which case replace the water valve.
2. Not enough water
If there is not enough water, the dishes would not get cleaned. This
could be caused by a partially closed water shut-off valve (located
under the sink), or a faulty dishwasher water valve (located at the
bottom of the dishwasher, behind the kick panel, on either side).
3. Clogged spay arms
There is usually two, sometimes three spray arms in a dishwasher.
Make sure there is no debris blocking the holes inside each spray
arm.
4. Water temperature is too low
To get the best results, the water has to be at 120 degrees
Fahrenheit when entering the dishwasher.
5. Not enough soap
If you only fill one part of the soap cup, try adding soap to
both parts.
6. Smoky film on dishes and glasses
This problem occurs due to excessive calcium build up inside the
dishwasher. Try cleaning you dishwasher using a dishwasher cleaner.
the fact that you only get the problem on the bottom basket shows the fault lies with the bottom spray arm first thing to do is put machine on with no dishes in it let it run for about 5 mins,then quickly pull door open,(it will stop) check to see which arm is still rotating it will probably be the top one, then line both arms up so they are at 12.0clock position shut the door and wait for a minute or two pull the door open agian and see if the bottom arm has moved from where you put it,if it hasnt it will almost certainly be blocked even a tiny bit of eggshell or rice will stop it turning,the very end holes are what drive the arm round even if all the others are clear it will not turn.
remove it and tap it and give it a shake you will hear debris inside of arm this needs to be washe out under hot water tap.

my bosch dishwasher has never cleaned properly all the time we have had it. 2 yrs. It is now so bad I think we will just need to get a new one. I have cleaned all the filters. Ran the hot water tap before using. use liquid rather than tabs. Run dishwasher cleaner liquid through it at least once a month. All to no avail. I live on a brand new housing development and about 30 of my neighbours have the same dishwasher and they all say it leaves dishes dirty. It also leaves water in the bottom under the filter which can turn stagnent and smell really bad if you are not using it every day

I have a Bosch LogiXX Auto option dishwasher. It was working
fine for quite some time. But now there is a problem using any program.
All programs stop at the last 15 min time and not reducing further.
When I opened the door I found the vessels are washed clean and dry but there is water
stagnant at the bottom. What is this problem due to? Is there any
remedy?

The dirty water is not discharging out of the machine. When I disconnect the drain pipe the water flow is very low it just trickles out. I have tested the pump with 230volt supply and it works perfectly with lots of power. There are no obstructions in the pipe except what appears to be a non-return valve between the pump and the inverted u tube
