When dishwasher is started the initial drain cycle comes on. It drains any remaining water in tub, but then drain pump just stays on and never moves into fill cycle.
I read your solution to another Bosch model. I removed the inlet valve to vacuum out any water from the underpan from a "flood" problem. The pan was bone dry. I also had checked and cleaned the drain and impellers to be sure they were clear. I also tried to cancel the cyle buttons and restart.
None of these actions solved anything. I am going to test the inlet valve solenoid and check the intake filter today. I saw that checking for a stuck float may also be a problem, but I am not sure where it is. When I look back behind the inlet valve with a flashlight, I can see a small styrofoam looking donut, but it is sitting flat on the bottom.

- I read on appliancepartpros.com blog how someone took off their side panel; the two torx screws inside front rubber door seal. I was then able to get to everything below. The drain pan was dry, but I jigged the red float bar to the float switch a few times and it cycled out into the water fill cycle.
The dishwasher is starting to run. I'll observe the cycle and see if all goes well.
