I have had this dishwasher for about 3-4 weeks. All working well, but today it stopped with about 119 minutes left (usually says around 142 mins). The "check water" light was on.
On opening dishwasher the bottom had dirty water in. Tried resetting to another cycle- nothing happening. Any ideas? hubby away a few days and would like not to feel a useless woman where machines are concerned and fix without having to call engineer. Extreemly useful (mechanically minded) teeenage daughter available to assist(with direction)!
Ok sounds like a drain promblem love your do it your selfness but one thing you must keep in mind its under warrenty and if you mess with it you could void your warrenty if you have a cancel drain option try that if it still doesnt drain call for service

Same problem,but fixed as underneathe the filters at the bottom was a small cap that covers the top side of the pump impellar. This unclipped to show food stuck in the blades stopping the impellar rotating . Cleared the food and forgot to replace the cover ! so took the bottom off and found the discharge pump just rotates and unclips.Took off the dischrge pipe and blew through it to remove any blockages ( all when I needn't have) .
Rememberd to refit the cover on testing and it started to pump out. :-)
I have one question though.The discharge pipe goes from the pump up the side of the machine to what seems like a vent before going out to the drain .Whats the purpose of this vent if that what it is?
Cheers
Same problem, check water light on. Only had the dishwasher for 3-4 weeks, previous Bosch dishwasher went for years,no problems like this one....took the filters out, emptied sump and found the cover, removed cover sure enough impeller jammed with food? cleaned out and freed impeller awaiting the results, as the dishwasher is in cycle now. This new filter system looks the same as our old washer, but obviously lets bits through. Will now rinse our dishes before putting them through a wash cycle?? many thanks for the information
Mine too!
It is stuck full of water, with check water light on.
I have tried starting a new cycle, nothing...what now?
My bosch dishwasher does the same thing. Sometimes works after I shake it. I think there is a ball float somewhere that is stuck.Anyone know where it is?
Hi, can I just add ours had the same issue, I removed the grey plastic cover in the drain tub ( inside the machine ) freed off the pump and flushed it through. All sorted and thanks for the post
