Worked nicely for 2 years. Following long deep freeze, motor does not respond to float switch. I don't hear or feel any click when I lift the float.

If you open the door to the very right at the base of the tub you will see a float device. The float is a safety device which will shut off your water in case there ever is a overflow situation. Sometimes objects can get under the float and shut the signal off that is sent to your inlet valve. Lift the float up and down and see if you hear a click sound... you should hear a click.

If you hear a click then that may not be your problem. You can potentially have a bad door lock as well.

In both cases you will not hear any sounds from the dishwasher it will just seem dead. If you hear a humming then you possibly have a bad inlet valve.( Or somehow the water is shut off )

Does it have a float switch? Does the motor run when you lift the float switch? If not... then the motor's gone.

Is this a top loading or front loading washer? If top loading check the door switch by lifting the lid about 2" from closed position. You should hear a nice healthy click. Then set the lid back down. Again you should hear a nice healthy click just before it closes. Do it a few times to check for consistency of clicks. The click is from your door switch and if there it is probably good. A lack of clicks indicates either door switch failure or the failure of the door switch actuator.
If yours is a front loading washer, give me the model number that is on the machine. Thanks.

Hi,

Firstly, here's the manual for the SGS53C12GB/XX you requested:

https://portal.bsh-partner.com/TCcustomBSH/controller/download_file?PDFOBID=qcyk3cjcdcso0pdmdb---43k&UMOBID=qcyk3facdcso0pdmdb---43k

The manual will tell you that the check water light (tap icon) is a problem with the water-supply, but this warning light also illuminates when the machine fails to pump out.

Your problem is most likely a blockage in the sump or the drain-hose or possibly a defective drain pump motor. The drain pump impeller can get jammed on these.

First, with the power switch on the control panel in the ON position, open the door and locate the mushroom float in the bottom of the washing compartment/tub.



Lift the float (about 3/4 inch) and listen for a humming from the drain pump motor. If you can hear the motor, keep the float lifted and the water level in the washer starts to drop. If the motor hums, but the water level doesn't drop, you either have a blockage in the drainage system or the impeller may be jammed or become detached from the spindle. If you can't hear the motor with the float raised, the drain pump motor may have failed.

If you can hear the motor, next check for blockages in the drainage system. First remove the filters from the bottom of the washing compartment and check for any debris/blockages here (see pages 19-20 of the user manual I supplied. Next, if the drain hose is attached directly to the waste-trap under your sink, disconnect the hose from the spigot on the trap and check for any blockages in the end of the hose or in the spigot on the trap itself. If you haven't found any blockages in either of these places, pull the dishwasher from under the counter and follow the hose all the way back to the rear of the dishwasher, squeezing and flexing the hose gently as you go. You may be able to feel a blockage in the hose and the gentle flexing may break-up any blockage. Don't be aggressive with the hose as it could split, particularly if it's old.

Finally, if the drain hose is attached to the waste-trap, make sure you aren't running the dishwasher with the plug in the sink as this can create a vacuum and prevent the dishwasher from pumping out.

Hope this helps. Please try the above and then get back to me with your findings if you need further assistance.

I understand that you would like to disable the deepfreeze software installed on the computer.

One or more methods can be employed to enable/disable (Freeze/Thaw) Deep Freeze depending on the version being used.
A) Locally at the workstation (Deep Freeze Standard and Enterprise):
The following steps can be used to disable (Thaw) Deep Freeze:

1. Hold down the SHIFT key and double-click the Deep Freeze icon. Alternatively, you can press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F6. A Password dialog is displayed.
2. Enter your password and click OK. If you have not yet entered a password you should be able to click OK without entering a password. The Boot Options dialog is displayed.
3. Select "Boot Thawed" and click OK. This will disable Deep Freeze on the next reboot.
4. The same steps can be used to enable (Freeze) Deep Freeze. The only change is to select "Boot Frozen" instead of "Boot Thawed".

B) Remotely via Deep Freeze Command Line Control (Deep Freeze Enterprise only):
Deep Freeze Command Line Control (DFC.EXE) can be used to Thaw/Freeze Deep Freeze through a script or batch file. More information about using this utility can be found in the Deep Freeze Enterprise user guide available at:
http://www.faronics.com/documents/DF6Ent_Manual.pdf
C) Remotely via the Enterprise Console (Deep Freeze Enterprise only):
The Deep Freeze Enterprise Console can be used to Thaw/Freeze a workstation using the following steps:

1. Select the workstations to Thaw/Freeze.
2. Click the "Reboot in Thawed state" button to Thaw the selected workstations. The workstations should reboot and appear in the Console in a Thawed state.
3. Click the "Reboot in Frozen state" button to Freeze the selected workstations. The workstations should reboot and appear in the Console in a Frozen state.

Please try the steps and I am sure you would be able to disable the deepfreeze software.

HI Good day!! do the following
Disable Deep Freeze before uninstalling it.

To disable Deep Freeze:

1. Hold down the shift key and double-click the Deep Freeze icon. Alternatively, you can press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F6.
2. Enter your password and click OK.
3. If you have not yet entered a password you should be able to click OK without entering a password.
4. The Boot Options dialog is displayed. Select "Boot Thawed" and click OK. This will disable Deep Freeze on the next reboot.
5. Reboot your computer. After the computer reboots, you are ready to uninstall Deep Freeze.



To uninstall:

1. Locate the installation file you used to install Deep Freeze on your computer. By default, the name of this file is called "DF5Std.exe" for versions 5.X and "DF6Std.exe" for versions 6.X.
2. Run the installation file (DF5Std.exe or DF6Std.exe).
3. Select the option to "Uninstall"

Deep Freeze is uninstalled and your computer is rebooted.

The first thing a Bosch dishwasher does when you start a program is run the waste pump. This ensures that any residual water and waste is removed from the machine before the wash program begins.

The hum you can hear is most likely the pump motor trying to drive the impeller. This can become clogged with waste and seize up, preventing the wash cycle from starting. There is an easy way to check this:

(It's easier to do this with the washer empty)

1: Select a wash program

2. Press "Start" and wait for the humming noise

3. Open the door and pull the bottom basket forward or lift it out completely

4. Find and lift the float (the plastic dome/mushroom in the bottom of the washer) all the way up

5. Keep the float lifted and the dishwasher should pump out. Stop if/when you hear a gurgling noise as this means it's empty and pumping mostly air.

6. If the pump doesn't start, lift the float again for about 1-2 seconds then let it drop again for 1-2 seconds. Repeat this 10-20 times and see if the pump starts. The repeated stop/start signals to the pump motor can sometimes free a seized impeller.

If the pump does start, keep lifting and dropping the float switch (1-2 seconds each time) to see if the pump starts every time. If it does, you should be OK to use the washer, but further action is needed to stop the problem returning.

When you've done all this, post the results here and I'll advise you what to do to fix the problem or prevent it from returning.

It's most likely a seized pump impeller/motor bearings or a burnt-out pump motor. There are some simple tests for the pump that anyone can do:

A. If your washer is full of water:

1. Select a wash program and press start. You should hear a low humming noise. If you can't hear anything, you probably need a new pump, but try the next step before you start buying parts or call an engineer.

2. Open the door and pull the lower basket forward or lift it out completely. Find and lift the float (the plastic dome/mushroom in the bottom of the washer) all the way up. Keep the float lifted and the dishwasher should pump out. Stop if/when you hear a gurgling noise as this means it's empty and pumping mostly air.


B. If your washer is empty of water:

1. Select a wash program and press start

2. Open the door and pull the lower basket forward or lift it out completely. Find and lift the float (the plastic dome/mushroom in the bottom of the washer) all the way up. Keep the float lifted and the dishwasher should pump out. Stop if/when you hear a gurgling noise as this means it's empty and pumping mostly air.

C: If you can hear the low humming noise but the pump doesn't start when you lift the float:
1. lift the float again for about 1-2 seconds then let it drop again for 1-2 seconds. Repeat this 10-20 times and see if the pump starts. The repeated stop/start signals to the pump motor can sometimes free a seized impeller.

If the pump does start, keep lifting and dropping the float switch (1-2 seconds each time) to see if the pump starts every time. If it does, you should be OK to use the washer, but further action is needed to stop the problem returning.

When you've done all this, post the results here and I'll advise you what to do to fix the problem or prevent it from returning.

Hi. In the bottom of the unit there is a float. I did not look up your exact model but this is pretty simple to resolve. There will either be a round or rectangular float in the bottom of the unit. They are always on the front portion of the tub near the door but can be on the left, center or right of the front portion of the tub depending upong the style of the float.
What has happened is that food particulae has gotten under the float and coated the float stem. All you need to do is locate the float and clean the stem and the bottom of the float. A pencil / easel paint brush works great or an old make up long brush. Yu have to be able to reach the float stem.

How the float switch works is that the water lifts the float and terminates the fill cycle of the wash or rinse by actuating a micro switch under the dishwasher.
Clean up the float and stem and it should work normally. To test the float you gently lift it listening for a click after about 1/2 inch movement. It should click as you let it down AND lift it up. Once you hear the clicks routinely your back in the dishwashing business. If after cleaning the float you still do not hear any clicks then most likely the float micro-switch has failed under the tub / behind the front kick panel.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.

If your floats have started to absorb water, the unit may become reluctant to climb the slope from the deep end to the shallow end, although it may still at least start to climb and clean the wall. There are 3 installed floats in the unit bottom plate: 1 "h" float and 2 pocket floats. Aqua Service Distributors in Sequin, TX had a good price on replacements. Good people, too. S.
