Hello,
So I have a Bosch SGS 5002 GB dishwasher and for sometime now the timer would stick at about ¾ of the cycle. So I would carefully turn it past the point were it had stalled and the dishwasher would finish the cycle as normal.
However today the dishwashers seems to have developed another problem inasmuch as the timer now seems to stop only a minute or so into the cycle. It starts off OK and pumps the system dry. I have tested this by pouring a couple of bowels of water into the dishwasher and it pumps out just fine. After it has pumped dry the timer stops and the dishwasher just seems to turn off. If I move the timer knob forward the system start up again but just makes a buzzing/pumping noise but nothing happens.
Any ideas please?
Re: Bosch SGS 5002 on start up its pumps dry then the timer
Sounds like it’s simply not filling with water…most likely cause is food blockages.
Have a look HERE…it’s a similar model, and while you’re there check the microswitch above the float.
Power off at all times :zap:

Clivejameson,
Many many thanks for the replies to my question and well after a bit of a head scratching and Google’ing I got the top off and removed the left panel and the system inside is full of food waste etc.
So I started cycle off and it stalled as expected so I lifted the little red float control post that couples to the micro switch and machine started again.
Have power all off now and going to have breakfast before tackling this mucky job of cleaning this regulator system out.
Will let you know how get on but many many thanks again.

So I have dismantled the float mechanism and cleaned it up but I do not think this was the fault as was only surface dirt on the components and not major gunge. However the value at the top of the fill matrix and most of the matrix to was completely gunk’ed up and it took some two hours of soaking and shaking and garden hose to get it clearer. After this clean up I put it together and it seems to work just fine.
Although I still have the original fault were the timer knob stalls at the NINE o’clock position and I have to nudge it past this stall point to get the cycle to complete. Hence I think I still have a timer that is on its way out.
Again thanks for all your help.
