Question about Bosch 18 in. SRS55L02 Logixx Slim-Line Free-standing Dishwasher
When I switch on the dishwasher it won't start until I tip it (at which point some water comes out at the bottom), it then gurgles and suddenly starts pumping water. The digital display however tells me it will take 199min to do the wash and then stays on this or sometimes it moves through the cycle but then sticks and just makes a humming sounds. I then have to switch it off and open the door. Most times it's cleaned but still wet but with no water in the main compartment. It started on the one cycle and has gradually happened on all the cycles now. My dishwasher is just over 3yrs old...should I just buy a new one? I'm thinking this may be expensive to fix!
The left side (behind the metal side panel)of your machine has a blue and yellow mechanism which regulates the level of water for your machine(if there is no big yellow disk at the top of the mechanism then your machine is time fill). It also has a built in safety that if water should enter the white pan on the bottom, the drain pump will activate and stay on. It sounds like the machine problem has to to with water and flow level. You can observe the filling and running of your machine with the side panel off. (the connections at the switches on the float assembly are live be careful)

The time fill is controlled by the machine board but it sounds like your machine is not this configuration. The inlet water should flow throught the float assembly and into the bottom of the stainless tank through a small clear tube. If water flows out of the top of the float assembly then you need an inlet valve. if water is entering the white pan then it is possible that it is shorting a sensor causing the long readout and cycle time. once the leak is sorted out try running a rinse and hold cycle which should take only about 19 minutes. It sounds like the problem may actually be in the main control but be sure to sort tout the water leak first.

Not sure what time fill? when I reconnected and switched on again I got water but now all over the floor! Still showing 199min to do a cycle that should take 30min!
