Dish washer does not turn on CL light stays on when reset count down 6 appears then goes to CL
Hello and welcome to Fixya,
I have a ton of service info on Bosch so it`s best I post you an exert from the service pdf`s I have on my PC which will explain the meaning of "CL" and then go from there. This is not a common indication of a control problem, but it could be a problem with the plastic casing which houses the control, we`ll deal with that later.
I`ve underlined the section pertaining to the "CL", this is for the SHU68** dishwashers only.
TO OPERATE:
First depress the On/Off Button until it locks in place.
Once the On/Off Button is depressed the LED above the previously used cycle will illuminate.
To change the cycle, simply press the desired Cycle Button twice. The LED above that cycle will then illuminate.
The Cycle Countdown will display an approximate run time for the cycle chosen.
This run time will depend on incoming water temperature and the turbidity of the pre-wash water.
Note: It is normal for the Countdown Display to remain at a time increment for more than one minute, or skip a time increment depending on the calculations of the Control Unit. Also, with continued use the Control Unit will learn the wash and temperature patterns for the most commonly used programs and will then reduce the overall start and running times.
At the end of the cycle the display will show a CL, indicating that the cycle is complete.
**TO CANCEL A CYCLE:
Press the Scrub Wash and Delicate / Econo Buttons both in at the same time. The unit will then drain and the figure CL will appear in the display.**
DELAY START:
The Delay Start feature allows the unit to be delayed for up to nine hours. To program, start the unit as described above, but after selecting a cycle push the Delay Start button. The display will show a 1h, or one-hour delay. Continue to depress the Delay Start Button until the desired delay time is reached (up to nine hours, 9h).
The unit will begin automatically once the delay time has elapsed. To reset the delay, press the Delay Start Button until it reaches 0h.
TOP RACK ONLY:
The Top Rack Only feature can be used in conjunction with any cycle. To active, press the Top Rack Only Button after selecting a
cycle, the Top Rack Only LED will illuminate and all water will be diverted to the upper wash arm for the complete cycle.
REFILL RINSE AGENT LED:
The Refill Rinse Agent LED is activated via a Reed Switch on the Detergent Dispenser, Section 4, Fig. 8-3. The LED will
illuminate when the Rinse Agent Dispenser is empty.
Service note: The Refill Rinse Agent LED will also illuminate when the dishwasher door is opened and then
closed even if the Dispenser is full, but will only remain lit for a few seconds.
“F” CODE:
An “F” in the display window indicates a filling fault.
Please note: If the door is opened during the cycle, the On/Off Button will be reset to off and must be depressed again to re-active the cycle. The cycle will resume from where it left off.
Now that you are equipped with this info, what I`d suggest is trying the **cancel option. ( ** see above )
Once you`ve tried the cancel option, select a Regular Wash and post back what happens and I`ll try to assist you from there.
Good luck.

I checked the start button it doesn't seem to be stuck. I think if the start button was shorted or stuck, the machine would start as soon as I closed the door.I'm not sure of that though.Many thanks for the suggestion though.

Hey Krazytech. Yes it does start without pressing Start in all the other cycles as well. Also some lights flash that I'm not sure should be flashing. The red light by the number 4 flashes and the drying light flashes but it still seems to go through a normal wash cycle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Ron
