Dishwasher Problems - Water will not drain out

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Based on your description I'd say the issue is with the control.

The number"1" being displayed ( on models with the display ) is actually an error code indicating a fault in the heating process.

Bosch has had a history of this exact problem I'm about to lay out for you and this is the first thing I'd be looking for if called out to service the unit with the symptoms you've described.

As I've alluded to the issue is likely within the electronic timer/control, specifically the heater relay solder joint. ( a faulty flow switch, ntc or heater can also cause this, but not very probable ).

My first suggestion would be calling in an authorized bosch service tech. if that is an option for you and your budget however, If you feel capable of checking this on your own, there`s a way to visually inspect the control yourself.

It will require you to remove the control from the unit and then remove the control from it`s plastic housing and look for a burnt solder contact on the printed circuit board.




The culprit will 99% of the times be one of the pins from the heater relay,



**Flip this over and inspect the solder joints, it will be obvious when you see it.**

This ones new, but it's where to look...




...hence the unit sit`s and takes longer

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

If your machine is indeed an SHU66 series machine it should resemble the image here, with perhaps a different color...


If you notice the two buttons pressed together should cancel the cycle and force a drain/end cycle.

For future reference, if you'd like to simply select another cycle after one has already been started, press the button applicable twice quickly and it will switch to that cycle.

Hope this answers your question. Let me know if your require further assistance.

Thanks for choosing FixYa, good luck.

Macmarkus :)

Asker's Testimonial " expanation very clear. will give it a go and see how simple it was. thanks Ronnie " - ronnieshomes

This can be tricky with sharp edges and avoiding damage to the inner door.

Remove the outer door with a torx driver. Remove 2 long screws in the top corners then remove the 6 short screws (3 each side).
Close the door and slide the outer door down and out to remove. There are some plastic block that sit on the hinges that probably will fall off they just slide back one. There for shipping so they don't need to be replaced if you can't get them back on.

Now you can see the dispenser. It is held in by a series of tabs formed by the inner door pressed into stepped ridges on the dispenser. You need to bend these out and the dispenser will pop out the door into the unit.

Now the hard part is getting the new dispenser put back in. Slide the new one back into the opening from the inside of the unit. Bend the tabs back into the dispenser take care not to bend the door as you can get a leak around the dispenser seal.

check latch on dishwasher side of the unit to make sure it has `nt got loose they make them so you can remove them when the unit is discarded so children can`t get trapped in side

After you run a load of dishes put 1cup of CLR or vinegar (white) and run a quick wash.no dishes,after running dishes clean out spray arm and clean strainer,use a rinse agent like finish, and spray off dishes before loading.About 35yrs. ago I use to be a dishwasher as one of my first job's and if you did'nt spray the dishes and scrap them off before loading,the dishes would not come out clean,And after each shift the dish washer would be cleaned out.

Just bought a Bosch dishwasher and we were told that they have no heating mechanism to dry the dishes, which is why they are more energy efficient.  You are supposed to leave the door closed for at least one hour after the cycle is complete.  The heat that has built up inside during the wash cycle will dry the dishes.  It is also recommended to always use JetDry. If you follow this advice, the dishes will come out fine.

Maybe the door latch / actuator interlock is not working.

Hi. Run your hottest and longest cycle with no soap, no dishes and 2 cups of white vinegar. Also, run the hot water into the sink before starting the dishwasher. Once the sink water is as hot as it gets, then push the start on the dishwasher. J.

Hello Dennis, welcome to Fixya. There are several factors which influence how your Bosch perform's. Saying that brings me to a point I have to ask a few questions. 1) How long have you had the unit...when did you buy it ? 2) do the dishes always appear dry when the cycle completes ? 3) How long does the unit take to complete a "normal" wash cycle ? 4) Do you have adequate hot water going to the unit ? Let me know as much as possible and I should be able to help. I will watch for your response. Macmarkus :)

How is the water hardness in your area. If my watersoftener is low on salt I get this problem. Also you could try a rinsing agent in the little spot beside the dish washing detergent. Some detergents I find also leave a film. I find Cascade works the best.

Check the heater. Heater control circuit.

check if some dirt got in the arms of the washer as sometime this will slow the flow of water and not allow the pressure to clean the dishes well

Contact the authorized BOSCH service provider.

Switch off the main power to the dish washing machine and try.

If problem continues contact service center for further help. Refer the user manual for resetting such errors.

Note down the key pressing operations done by the service personnel. There are some operation sequence, only the manufacturer representative knows.

if the micro controller problem the PCB has to be replaced. ( last chance )

Check the hinges in the sides. may be requires little lubrication. Use an appropriate lube spray available in your shopping area.

make sure that the soap dispenser if clean and free of residue build up. if this is clean you need to replace the dispencer
