If you need to add another dish, clear an error message, wake up a frozen display, or change a setting, the Bosch dishwasher may need a quick reset.Some problems can be solved with the press of a few buttons.Soon, you will be able to reset your Bosch dishwasher.
Step 1: To get to the buttons, open the door.
If your dishwasher is running a cycle that you want to stop, you should not open it too much.You will need to open the door to access the buttons on many Bosch dishwashers.The water is hot, so use caution.
Step 2: The start button should be held down until the light dims.
If you want to stop a cycle on your Bosch dishwasher, hold the Start button until the light fades.If the cycle is running or if the display is stuck on a cycle that never started, this will work.
Step 3: Take the water out of the dishwasher.
If you want to add or remove a dish from the machine, you need to wait around 1 minute before opening the door.It may take more time for the water to drain from the machine if it is on its highest setting.
Step 4: To start a new cycle, press the Start button again.
After the dishwasher has been drained, it will need to start again from the beginning.When you reset the dishwasher in this way, you only need to tap the start button.
Step 5: The Start button should be held for 3 seconds.
Pressing the Start button for 3 seconds is the most standard way to reset a Bosch dishwasher.The Start button is often labeled with "Reset 3 Seconds".This will clear the settings and allow you to use the dishwasher again.You might have to wait for the time remaining display to show 0:01 and then go down to 0:00 on some models.You have to turn the machine off and on again to start a new cycle after that.
Step 6: The Start and On/Off buttons should be pressed at the same time.
You may need to reset your Bosch dishwasher after your power goes out.Rather than holding the buttons down, press Start and the power button at the same time.
Step 7: Wait 2 to 3 minutes before plugging in the dishwasher.
The dishwasher needs to be unplugged from the wall.For some error messages and unresponsive displays, removing power from the appliance will clear the stored settings that are creating a problem and allow you to plug in again and start fresh.The cord is not wet and there is no standing water behind the machine.Unplugging an appliance with a wet cord can cause injury.
Step 8: To cut power, turn off the circuit breaker.
If the plug is hard to reach or covered in water, you can use your home's fuse box to switch off the kitchen area or dishwasher.All lights and appliances that are on the same circuit will be turned off.After 2 to 3 minutes, switch the fuse back on.
Step 9: Unplug the machine and tilt it to fix the error.
One common Bosch dishwasher error message that can be fixed with a quick reset is E-15, which is triggered by water making contact with the sensor on the bottom of the washer.Before you tilt the machine against a wall, check for broken pipes and leaking valves.Plug the machine back in and turn it on.
