What could be the causes of the failure?

If the equipment has been able to serve you for more than 5 years, and the warranty period has long expired, it means that a possible cause of the malfunction may be banal wear of spare parts.

In case you have recently completed a purchase and the dishwasher has already failed, the following may be the cause of the breakdown:

• Unfair assembly and bad parts. Such a breakdown occurs in cheap Chinese aggregates from little-known manufacturers. Normally, if the Bosch dishwasher does not turn on, this cause is excluded.
• You do not flush excess food before loading, which very quickly clogs the filter. Very dishwashered dishes most of the dishwashers are not washed completely, as a result of this, you have to additionally rinse the dishes by hand.
• Defective sockets. It's a banal situation, but it all the same arises sometimes, and users have not noticed it and are looking for more complicated reasons why the Bosch dishwasher does not turn on.
• Incorrectly connected equipment for household use, for example, the length of the drain hose exceeds the permissible standards or the hose for cold water is poorly fixed.
• Unsuitable detergent, which flushes poorly enough or does not wash the dishes at all.
• It's likely that you just did not close the door tightly. The mechanism is arranged in such a way that the technology can not turn on until the latches are triggered. It should also be noted that some models have doors that do not lock in the lower position. When the door does not hold - this does not mean that the dishwasher has broken, it's just a defect of the manufacturer. But again, the technique of BOSCH rarely sins with such defects.
• Another popular reason for the failure is the wrong loading of the dishes, as a result of which the technician wipes the lower section or the upper shelf badly. Even in the instruction itself it is stipulated about the correct loading - it is necessary to fill the top with plates, as well as with mugs, with bottom-size kitchen utensils, for example, with pans. Glasses, as well as cups must necessarily be stacked upside down.

If none of the above reasons is the exact culprit of the failure, it means that it's all about the spare parts.

We fix the main types of problems

We are going to understand why your Bosch dishwasher does not turn on or turn on, but does not work as it should. After all, it is possible that the technology has started to function, but the malfunctions that caused her refusal to work have not disappeared.

The dishwashing procedure does not want to start

Imagine this: you turned on some mode, all the lights turned on, you heard the sound of filling the water from the camera, it got hot, but the washing process itself does not start. In this case, the likely cause of dishwasher breakage may be a filter clog, which is located at the bottom of the chamber for dipping dishes.

It must be removed, thoroughly rinsed, and then installed back.

Water flows

Most likely, the water level sensor has broken. It is located at the bottom of the equipment, so in order to gain access, you will have to turn the dishwasher, then make a replacement for the water level sensor for a new one.

Important! If the unit is turned off, and the process of water recruitment to the camera still occurs, then everything is not in the sensor. It's all about the solenoid valve, which is designed to shut off the supply of fluid. Replace the valve is a fairly simple task that does not promise any complications.

Overheating or underheating of water

It also happens that the dishwasher does not heat or on the contrary overheats the water. In the case of overheating, the temperature sensor breaks, which leads to excessive water heating, the production of a large amount of steam, and then the shutdown of the equipment.

If we talk about underheating, then there may be several causes of the malfunction:

• temperature sensor for some reason stopped working;
• water pressure is not strong enough, in particular, the pump or nozzles could break;
• the heater is defective, in this case you should check the resistance with a multimeter.

The draining process does not occur

If, at the end of the wash, the water does not want to drain into the sewer, it is likely that the pump has broken down or the drainage system has become clogged, so your dishwasher does not want to drain the water.

In the first situation, you should check the drain pump for debris, as well as the resistance of the windings. Most likely, the water does not merge from the dishwasher because the pump is simply clogged, although the startup may sometimes not occur even because of water pressure.

If the pump is OK, check the entire drain system without forgetting the siphon. It is possible that the hose to be cleaned or the filter inside the camera is clogged.

Important! Another fairly frequent case, when the dishwasher drains the water not to the end. Here, most likely, you have placed the drain hose too high, and after draining - at the moment when the pump turns off, a certain part of the water returns back to the chamber.

Touching the body, it beats current

If your dishwasher is beating with current, then with the possibility of 99% it can be argued that the heating element, that is, the heating element, has been knocked out. All you have to do is open access to the heater, and then visually inspect it for cracks, as well as other types of defects.

If your heating element is really damaged, replace it with a new one.

The machine does not pick up the detergent

If you notice that your dishwasher does not pick up the pill or the powder, it is possible:

• contamination of the nozzles;
• is not strong enough water, because of what it does not have access to the dispenser;
• breakage of the mechanism that opens the valve, from which the detergent is washed out.

Important! If the valve does not want to open the water intake or does not cover well, the tablet may not completely dissolve, causing the dishwashing machine to vomit badly.

Extraneous noise is heard

Extraneous noise shows us that the pump or motor bearings have broken or damaged, it is also a supercharger. Bearings break for the reason that they receive water, which seeps through the damaged seals. The bottom line - the dishwasher makes a noise during operation.

You will not only have to change the bearing, but also replace the stuffing box, otherwise - after a certain time, this problem again occurs.

Important! The cause of extraneous noise may well be associated with the pump if garbage has entered the area of ​​the sprinkler or the impeller. Here everything is simple enough, eliminate the debris and check the impeller for defects. Perhaps the blades are damaged, and therefore noise is produced.

Cookware does not want to be dried

Some modern models of dishwashers are equipped with the function of drying already washed dishes. This process occurs during the operation of the fan that was installed inside the camera.

If you find that your dishwasher for some reason does not dry the dishes or does not completely dry it, but otherwise it functions well, it is likely that the fan has broken down.

Important! Check its winding, then lead the contacts with a multimeter, if necessary - replace the spare part with a new one.

Leakage of water on the floor

Well, in conclusion, one of the most common breakdowns of the dishwasher is the leakage of water under the hull.

There are several main reasons for running water:

• In unsatisfactory condition, door seals, resulting in the hatch is not tightly closed. They must either be changed, or cleared of plaque.
• Damaged pump seal, which is designed to pump water. Best replace it with a new one.
• The clamps on the water supply and drain hose are loosely tightened, and therefore leakage is formed.
• Seals can still not be mounted in the places where the nozzles are connected.
• The water tank, which is located on the side of the equipment, was damaged. As a rule, the tank is not subject to repair, therefore it is immediately changed to the whole.

Now you know all the reasons not only why the Bosch dishwasher does not turn on, but also other possible malfunctions. We hope that you managed to figure out the situation, reveal the real problem, and now you are using again the working technique, leaving yourself more time for a hobby or another holiday.
