Cycle time Just moved in, started the Bosch dishwashe that appears to be less than two years old, left for one-hour and came back to find the wash cycle still going; hasn't cycled in thirty minutes since I've returned. Is this normal? What is the standard cycle time?

Do you hear it go into the drain cycle that is do you hear the drain pump run at some stage. What happens in the rinse program (short cycle)? It is likely the thermostat is not working or the water temperature is too low due to heater problems.

what is happenig i believe and has happened to me 2 times is that the water level float that is on the left side of dishwasher is stuck.

Either remove side panel and flick lever or pull dishwasher out and tap lower portion of panel and this will cause the level to move and then see hat happens

The Bosch is a very good dishwasher and it is very airtight. I would suggest you NOT leave the dishes inside that long, and always use the Power Scrub Plus cycle if you have it. It will get the water as hot as possible so mold does not continue to grow in the plumbing and filters.

It is NOT the dishwasher unit causing the problem.

IF YOUR DISHWASHER IS OVER 3 YEARS OLD IT HAS PROBABLY BLOWN THE HEATER IF THEY ARE USED ON REPEATEDLY LOW TEMP WASHES FAT CAN BUILD UP AND DESTROY THE ELEMENT ON A 35 QUICK WASH IT SHOULD HEAT UP WITHIN 12 MINS OF STARTING IF NOT HEATING APPLIANCE WILL WASH FOR UP TO 3 HOURS IN COLD WATER IF CYCLE TIMES ARE NORMAL BUT NO HEAT IS EITHER A THERMOSTAT OR PCB FAULT THE FORMER IS LESS LIKELY,YOU SHOULD GET AREADING OF AROUND 25 TO 30 OHMS ACROSS LIVE AND NEUTRAL AND INFINITY ACROSS LIVE TO EARTH AND NEUTRAL TO EARTH.
HOPE THIS HELPS

your condenser dryer has ceased functioning. try opening the machine for an hour or so after the wash cycle has fininshed

if its less than a year old why dont you contact the manufacturers service team it will still be under guarantee as the bosch guarantee is 24 months
you can dowload a copy of the instruction maual free of charge from the bosch or bsh home appliances web site

both have a wax motor on them that needs to be replaced you just remove the panel and replace the wax motor is what its called

I am having trouble with my 5 year old Bosch. When I turn it on it is only on when the door is open. When I shut the door the computer believes it is off. I had a technician come and he tested the switch (which was fine) and said the problem must be in the computer. Then then quoted me $350 to fix it. I would rather buy the computer myself @ $120 and install it. What is your opinion?

check water level should just appear above filter failing that a common fault on these is the impellor wings have worn you need to strip wash motor down to get impellor cover off

have you removed the filter? if it gets clogged the dishwasher wont drain. other wise is sounds like a faulty drain pump
