    Re: Bosch dishwasher not heating up – unless I open the door

    Hi Martin, I have the evening set aside for the dishwater tonight! I’ll have a look at the control panel… I assume this is located behind the front panel? My first thoughts were that the dishwasher was under filling and that the water level was not high enough for the element to switch on. I can add about a kettle full before the overfill float triggers and pumps water out… so I would add about half a kettle until I realised that simply opening and closing the door was all that was needed for it to work. However, there seems to be enough water and it usually comes half way up the salt fill cap.

    One other thing that might be worth mentioning – the dishwasher hasn’t just suddenly started playing up… the performance has gradually worsened over the last few months and the duration it takes to complete a wash has gotten longer and longer. If there was some sort of burnout on the control panel, you’d expect that I’d experience all these problems immediately. I wonder if the pressure chamber is blocked? Do you know where abouts it is on my model? My one seems to be different compared with those that’s I’ve seem online and I can’t find a way of getting in there!
