If you can see water flowing down the overflow channel to the pan at the bottom of your Bosch dishwasher while it is running, this indicates that there may be a problem with the dishwasher's float switch or water inlet valve.
The float switch is a small device located at the bottom of the dishwasher's tub that is designed to detect the water level inside the dishwasher. If the water level rises too high, the float switch will shut off the water inlet valve to prevent the dishwasher from overflowing. If the float switch is not functioning properly, it may allow water to continue to flow into the dishwasher, resulting in water flowing down the overflow channel to the pan at the bottom.
Another possible cause of this issue could be a faulty water inlet valve. The water inlet valve is responsible for regulating the flow of water into the dishwasher. If the valve is stuck open or is not functioning properly, it may allow water to continue to flow into the dishwasher, resulting in water flowing down the overflow channel to the pan at the bottom.
To resolve this issue, you may need to have a professional technician inspect and repair your Bosch dishwasher. They can test the float switch and water inlet valve to determine the cause of the problem and replace any faulty components as needed.
What you hear is an indication that the drain hole in the drip pan is clogged. Check the outside of the bottom of the drip pan. The hole may be hard to locate, as the clog can blend in with the drain hole. It may take patience & persistence to find it. A pipe cleaner works well to clear the hole. And while you're at it, check the downward tilt of the rear of the unit. The general rule of thumb is 1/4" to 1/2" downward tilt. This will help to water to flow to the rear of the drip pan and out thru the drain hole.
Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.
The drain hole in the drip pan, near the rear of the unit is clogged and/or the rear of the unit does not have enough downward tilt. The general rule of thumb for rear downward tilt is 1/4" to 1/2". The downward tilt causes the water to flow to the rear of the drain pan and out thru the drain hole. A clogged drain hole can be hard to find, sometimes. As the clog will blend in with the hole. Patience & persiistence are the key to located it. A piper cleaner works well to clear the clog, once the drain hole is located. Before attempting any service on the unit, turn it OFF & unplug it.
Hope I was able to help you troubleshoot & solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.
Spray Oven Cleaner all over stains, SEAL inside plastic garbage bag, leave bag for 2 days, wash pans with scrubber pad, stains should be soft and come off with a little rubbing.
Hello- The self-clean cycle heats the inside up to about 800deg. There is no existing plastic that can take the heat at the vent w/out discoloring. The stain is from the smoke produced when the stuff on the drip pan incinerates. Try some oxy-clean and a damp cloth. Try to predict or minimize spills with foil and drip pans. Techs call 'self-clean' the 'self-destruct' cycle. Using this function will reduce the life expectancy of any electric range. Let me know if this info helps-have more if needed- Thanks- ED
Dishwashers typically leave water in the drain system exitting the pan but not a lot of water. If yours does then make sure you clean the drain screen ( normally located in or around the drain tube exitting the pan of the dishwasher..) If after cleaning that and after a normal wash cycle you continue to have significant volumes of water in the pan, the pump, lines leading to and from that pump may be restricting flow or damaged.. Those are a few of the normal culprets for why there is a lot of water in the pan of dishwashers after a cycle.. Hope that helps you identify the problem and resolve it,..,
Regards
It is the grease left on dishes or pots & pans. It can be cleaned off using a good regular dishwashing detergent like Dawn in the sink, not in the dishwasher. To prevent it, scrape the dishes & pots better, and if possible, turn the temperature of the hot water up a few degrees. You should also change dishwasher detergents to a liquid, with a built in water softener.
