Electrolux dishwasher delays before starting

Rented property ... quick answer, it's the landlord's responibility.

You have activated the delayed start function. Please read following instruction from user manual.

8. Delayed Start button

Allows the start of the programme to be delayed by a minimum of 1 hour, up to 9 hours. How to set the delayed start When the button is pressed, the number appears in the display (4). Press the button again to select the number of hours by which you wish to delay the programme start, up to a maximum of 9. E.g.: if you have selected number , the wash programme will start in 2 hours' time. To cancel the delayed start set, press the button until the number appears. Close the dishwasher door to start the countdown: a long audible signal (about one second) informs you that the function is active. If you open the door again you will see, in the display (4), how long there is to go (in hours) before the programme starts. A flashing dot in the digital display means that the delayed start function has been activated. Opening the door has no effect on a countdown which has already been started. If, during the countdown, you wish to see the programme number selected in the display, press the Programme Selector button (5). If, after having started the countdown by closing the dishwasher door, you wish to cancel the delayed start, press button (9) (Cancel) for about 2 seconds until the short «instruction accepted «signal is heard».

Some Bosch dishwashers have a time delay option. The H01 indicates a one hour delay has been selected. Press the Delay key several times until you see H00 in the display. Then try to start the dishwasher cycle you need. Bosch error codes tend to start with E.

Please add a comment with the model number of the dishwasher if you need additional help. (Without the model number, I can't be sure which key sets the time delay. On some models, the key is near the On/Off button. On others, it's closest to the Start button.) I hope this helps.

It would help to know the model number to determine the features of your dishwasher. The only guess I can make is that someone pushed the "delay" button and you are now set for a 5 hour delay for starting the dishwasher. Pressing the Delay button a few more times should bring it back to Zero delay.

Check the motor it sounds like it is going to ground in which will trip the breaker.

if it's only 3 months old then it's still well under warranty, call either the manufacturer, the place where you bought it or who installed it and it will be fixed for free or replaced.

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly. The 4H is indicating your dishwasher is in the delayed wash start mode. Here is some information from Sears about what to do:

• The number letter combination indicates that the dishwasher is in a "Delay Start" mode, as well as how many hours were set for the delay start.
• The dishwasher will not start the wash until it reaches the delayed hour that it was set for. Example: 1H = 1 hour delay start, 2H = 2 hour delay start, etc.
  • To start the dishwasher immediately and not wait for the Delay Start time, cancel the "Delay Start" option, by pressing the Cancel button. Then program the cycle and options and press Start.
  • To start the dishwasher after the Delay time, select the cycle and options desired. Select the "Delay Start" option and on some dishwashers it requires, pressing the Start button.
  • Some dishwashers will display a countdown of the delay time on the display.

Note: Refer to the Owner's Manual or Use & Care Guide for specific instructions on using the "Delay Start" feature.

If you need more assistance we will need your exact model number in any of your future responses.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
