Th Bosch units are prone to circuit board failure and this is the common symptom. If you are electronically inclined go the applianceaid.com and search Bosch for test codes to pinpoint the issue.There is an online picture of the faulty relay solder joint I repaired mine and a neighbors, Bosch will in some cases supply parts at no charge and they do not recommend repair, however IMHO it is a repairable cold solder joint very visible on the board. If you are good with needle tip soldering iron you are in luck

A little over a year ago I replaced the control module because of the usual issue of the burnt solder joint at the heater relay. The machine then worked OK until just after the 1-year module warrany period expired. I ordered another module thinking the problem was the same--continuous running. When I started to put in module #3 , to my surprise module #2 seemed OK with no burned solder joint. I replced the module anyhow. I also installed the jumper on the board. The machine is still not completing a wash cycle, hanging up on the 1-minute countdown. When I run a diagnostic test I got a code 4 Fill Fault with new board #3. With apparently good board #2, I got a 0 code. Suspecting the level switch, I pulled out the machine and took off the left access panel. With a multimeter I checked both microswitch f1, the water level switch, and microswitch e6, the float switch. Both switches were OK. I then checked their on/off operation at the connector wires into the control module--all OK. I then extended the power supply wire so I could run the machine with the unit pulled out from under the counter and the left panel off. Thus I could see the water flowing into the level sensor and draining out the chamber, like looking at the inside of a cow digesting dinner. On test cycle the unit will drain for the expected 30 seconds, then run for 65 seconds calibrating the AquaSensor. But when it shifts to the fill mode, it fills until the diaphram closes the f1 switch, but keeps filling until the e6 switch shuts off the fill valve solenoid. The drain motor is running during all this time, so the level goes down with the fill valve closed until the e6 switch opens, and the level goes up again, cycling in about a 2-second rythym. I can shut off the fill solenoid by manually lifting the float switch. I also checked for debris in the drain and sump, and I checked the e5 flow switch. I did not check the heating circuit amp draw, but the water seems plenty hot. It is acting as though the control module is not responding to the various switch inputs. Could it be that board #3 is bad as well? Any ideas would be appreciated.
