We have water left in the dishwasher when cycle is done. Is this normal?

Plastic items do not get dry because they do not get as hot as glassware. A lot of moisture inside is do to the evaporation of water on the dishes during the dry cycle. Some water remains in the dishwasher because it is impossible to pump all of it out. There is nothing wrong with your dishwasher.

is there any error codes showing

most likely the water valves are stuck

If the element has a thermal fuse then it may still look good even when blown. The only way to check is to test for continuity across it. Unfortunately this can only be done from where the wires are connected onto the element. The water not heating up would stop the cycle, as it needs to hit temperature before continuing the cycle. This might not be the reason your machine is stopping, but hole this answers the questions and points you have made in your post

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote that will help you with your dishwasher not drainingproblem...

Dishwasher Problems - Waterwill not drain out

The problem is hard water. There is a new product out called the dishwasher filtration system. It filters the water before it enters your dishwasher. It works amazing and has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look after the first load. It is also very affordable (like 70 bucks). Go to www.dishwasherfilter.com to find out more info.

yes its normal.bosch dishwashers use very little water and energy but,the cycles need to be longer to get the dishes clean. its perfectly OK.(ps use cascade powder if you can)

HO, indicates that the dishwasher is using Hot Water. It is completely normal.

check for blockage starting at air gap and disposer.trace back and clean

less than 2 cups of water in left after cycle complete

I tried the button sequence described by guest #1 but nothing happened.... is there anything more to it?
