Hi there Guys, My dishwasher Bosch E-Nr SGS43E02ZA/13 runs water intake, and before it begins the wash cycle, some water is drained. Runs more water in and drains even more water. The internal float rises and simply begins draining again. Wash cycle does not begin at all. Any Ideas where to begin looking. Thanks.... Deon

SOURCE: Bosch dishwasher is permanently draining

THERE IS A FLOAT WITH A RED SHAFT /LEFT SIDE AS YOU LOOK INTO THE BOTTOM OF MACHINE. AFTER TAKING OFF KICK PLATE. IT IS GOING TO DRAIN IF THERE IS A LEAK FROM PUMP OR HOSES FILLING UP THE PLASTIC BOTTOM OG MACHINE . KEEPS A LEAK FROM GOING ONTO YOUR FLOOR.. . MY GUESS IS YOU HAVE A LEAK DOWNTHERE AND NEED SERVICE.

faulty controls..the signals are apparently getting there, but the machine is intepreting them oddly..may need a new control board behind panel

SOURCE: Bosch Dishwasher Not Draining

Im really not all that familiar with the bosch unit, but a few things i would ck. when you cancel a cycle (it should drain the water) is it humming??? does it sound as if it even trickling into the sink discharge?? do you have a disposer under your sink that this unit drains into, if so remove the clamp and look for possible obstructions right there.Honestly passed this ill have to defer to someone else sorry and good luck

SOURCE: Not starting wash cycle

Typically this means that there has been a water leak of some sort and there is water in the lower base pan. This is the large white plastic base that the dishwasher sits on.

If you remove the toe kick and look back past the fill valve on the extreme left side of the dishwasher about 6 to 8 inches from the front you will see a red stick that goes straight up and down. This is a mechanical linkage that activates the drain feature. Be careful as there are live connections here.

This stick rests on a round piece of Styrofoam that acts as a float. If there is water present it will cause the stick to lift and the dishwasher will go into drain. The source of the leak will have to be isolated and corrected. Most likely it is the fill float assembly as referenced at the end of this post.

If the stick is not in the upright position then there is possibly an issue with the switch mechanism itself.

You will have to pull the dishwasher out from beneath the cabinet and remove the panel covering the left hand side. If it is a full panel then there are a couple of screws holding it on from the front through side trim as viewed when the door is open if it is a half panel then it can be removed by removing the large torx screw on the lower right as seen when facing the panel.

If there is a problem with the switch then the entire mechanism should be replaced.

Try the following link to a picture for reference. It is upside down as compared to the installed one:

Hi

Kindly check for the following :

Check for hose kinks or food plugging drain hose. Start at the drain port exit.
Check the check valve and drain hose for debris.
Check pump motor for reversing during the pump out make sure the dishwasher is pausing between the wash and drain cycles letting the pump/motor reverse for the drain cycle.
Check pump motor assembly for a drain solenoid, during the pump out make sure the solenoid makes that distinctive "clunk" noise
If you have recently installed a new garbage disposal, check knock-out plug at connection.



Check pump impeller for damage.
Check that the water inlet valve isn't seeping fresh water into the dishwasher when off.

Please contact for any further clarifications.

A Fixya Rating would be appreciated if.

Thanks
