I have scoured all parts diagrams I can find and come up empty. I have inspected the control panel trying to find a logical place for it, also no luck. I could not find anything like it on the control panel, inside the door, or on the stainless steel panel.

Does anyone know where this goes?

When I manually add water and lift the float, there is a strong reaction of the pump, causes a nice whirlpool in the basin like its going to drain but then stops. If I do this too many times it throws an E15 code for leaking.
Help!

My Bosch dishwasher works perfectly as long as I only use Eco mode. Any other setting fills the base up with water after 40 minutes or so and triggers e15. I can use the machine on eco and it’s alway bone dry every time. What’s different to make it leak if not on eco mode?

Many thanks

There is a rinse cycle available in the Home Connect app. But the Update Favorite link in the app to store a selected cycle as the favorite on the machine is not displayed when I select the Rinse cycle in the app.

This means that so far the only way to run a rinse cycle is using the app. Is there a way to set the favorite on the machine to Rinse?

If not, is there a way to tailor one of the cycles on the control panel, like the Speed60 cycle to run for a short period like 10 minutes to do a rinse?

So far my "solution" has been to start a Speed60 cycle and then manually turn the machine off after 10 minutes or so.

Thanks for your help.

It seems almost unbelieveable that anyone would make a dishwasher that does not allow you to rinse without using your phone. Stupid.

Ive also tried to turn off the drying cycle and ive tried washing on a lower degree celcius program (40 degree celcius) and nothing helps.

----------------------------------------------------------

So i went on another round of soldering. this time i also resoldered some of the filled in holes just north of the big solder on the pic i posted, the one on the top alittle to the right. i also removed the metall on the sides/top just to have a look. and i took of the white styrofoam and pressed teh drainage button about ten times.

What actually fixed my problem is unclear, but it work again! Im pritty sure it was the soldering that fixed it, either the big one resoldered and cleaned up properly, and/or the holes i resoldered at the top (I pritty much just heated the holes up again and let it cool back down). the holes is attatched to one of the two big white blocks on the other side of the pcb (actually through the whole PCB there is 5 off theese, two close to eachother and 3 abit further away). the blocks have the following markings:

HF3FD 012-ZTF(576) 10A 250WAC 85*C China DP078B

Since the button behind the styrofoam is the drain water fail safe, and draining the water was never a problem then i dont think that was the fix.

----------------------------------------------------------

It has now stopped working again and now it again stops at "Water in - Wash and heat the water - Drain water - Water in (stops right at the end at the water intake. It stops and goes to Check watersupply while water is going in, just at the end when machine is full off water)" like it did in the beginning of the problem.

So new theory here. Maybe everythime i drain the machine compleetly of water (except the special salt compartment) somehow this makes the machine work for a about a day? maybe the soldering im doing does nothing? i just think it does? i tried to remove the pcb without removing the water intake and water drainage hose'es and redoo the soldering on the pcb then put it back together again and this did nothing. but the other times ive tried (and the machine works then for a day or two) ive reomved the hose'es and put the machin up on its side in order to access the underside of the machine. This way the water left inside the machine (after a drain cycle) pours out of the drainage hole where the drainage hose would be attatched. I feel like ive checked most of the other stuff on the machine now, even the connector on the heating pump and it all looks normal, all tho the connector on the heatingpump is abit burnt (the metal part, not the plastic), but not much.

----------------------------------------------------------

I just tried the old way where i disconnected it and drained the machine, redid the soldering again by removing the old solder as good as i could and reapplied new. it still crashes...

Tested a 40 and 50 degree program now and now it works :S i bet as before it will work for about 2-4 washes or 1-2 days and then stop working again >.<

----------------------------------------------------------

Here are the 4 types of crashes it gets. What ever type its at it will always be like this untill i drain the machine, take it out of its place and disconnect everything, open it up and remove the main PCB and do so soldering on it then put it back together. After i do that it might change or it might work for a couple of runs then suddently it will choose one of theese 4 types and stay on that type.

1: Water in - washy washy for about 15-20 minutes where it also heats the water - Drain the water - Add new water then crash as the last of the water goes in.

2: Water in - Washy washy with warming the water - Drain - Water in (to clean off any residue at the floor of the machine) - Drain water - Water in - Washy Washy with heating water for abit then open detergent door and wash for a little while more then boom crash with hot water still inside.

3: Water in - Washy washy with warming the water - Drain - Water in (to clean off any residue at the floor of the machine) - Drain water - Water in - Washy Washy with heating water for abit then open detergent door while it keeps washing - Drain water - Add water (To clean off any leftover detergent on the floor of the machine) and boom crash while water is close to end of adding.

4: Water in - Washy washy with warming the water - Drain - Water in (to clean off any residue at the floor of the machine) - Drain water - Water in - Washy Washy with heating water for abit then open detergent door while it keeps washing for a whole cycle - Drain water - Add water (To clean off any leftover detergent on the floor of the machine) - Drain water - Add water washy washy - drain water - add water (to get ready for last washy washy and drying program) and then boom crash while last part off water comes in.

The star one has to do with rinse agent. I don't know about the arrow pointing to a vertical line.

Why does my dishwasher smell and mold my plastic?

I've had the same rotten smell problem, as many posted, after purchasing a stainless steel Bosch over a year ago. Smells like rotten garbage and my plastic dishes (pre-rinsed or not) get black mold after only one day in washer. The stink is even when only 4 or 5 items are in the washer. The vinegar and dw cleaners work for a couple of days; then stench returns. Reps came to look at it a few times during first year and adjusted temp. They recommended NOT rinsing and running it daily ! (Now how does that rate as energy saving ?) Nothing works. I've read all comments about P trap and loop. Our double sink has T configuration and the P trap is under the floor (basement ceiling) rather than under the sink. The dishwasher hose is looped mid-sink level. Note, however, this problem never existed with old dishwasher with same plumbing set up. Odors disgusting. Ruining my plastic too and wondering how much unnoticed mold we're consuming too. Any help please?

I did something else to check if the Drain Pump works: I lifted the floater on the inside bottom. After several clicks the Drain Pump starts working...BUT...it's pushing water inside - NOT OUTSIDE thru the hose and into the disposer! So in the filter compartment I see a jet of water that is pushed by the impeller inside. The Drain Pump is new?

Any thoughts please?
