I have sorted the problem on my machine (DF54). There was a crack in the side of the bottom spray arm (not easy too see). Obviously as it rotated water was squirting out of this crack against the bottom of the door and the surge was enough to overflow the sill. I don’t know how significant this is re: the recuring problems with these machines but it sorted the problem for me and I have not seen it posted elsewhere.

Hope this helps you.

I have also had this problem it was the lower spray arm split as previous post , very difficult to spot.

Re: Hpt DF62 d/w

As already said, a lower spray arm malfunction is most common cause.
When the appliance has stopped filling, is the water level normal? If too high make sure the fine mesh filter is clean and porous.
Has the detergent dispenser been replaced recently?
I have had a couple of warped tanks in the passed that have caused this, but they were in the warranty period.
That’s all that springs to mind at this late hour. But if anything else springs I’ll post back.

Hi Chris

Have you checked breather vent on soap dispenser. if its the one im thinking of. Changed dispensor on one of these once without plastic cut out being removed, water every :cry:. something to do with balancing pressure inside wash compartment, takes in too much water.. sounds mad but worth checking. Put old dispensor back on problem solved 😮

So a fruitless couple of hours in the workshop later………. Another new lower gasket fitted (Water now fountains out of the rh corner – spectacular but of little practical use.) Clipping down the tub edge of the seal has slowed things a bit. Have tried several different botton rotors both straight and “S” shaped and swapped the pressure set-up. Setting the main body seal forward slightly to increase contact has made no difference. I might swap the inner door panel just to get the set…….. 🙄

Any of you Bosch chaps got any thoughts on this?

Cheers,
Chris.

Re: Hpt DF62 d/w

Maybe silly this, but sometimes when you take a dishwasher out you screw down front feet to get it out, therefore disturbing the level, i’ve had one of these one time that was slightly off level (fall to front) when it was levelled up properly (or front slightly higher than back) the problem with drips from door was gone! Just a thought.

Re: Hpt DF62 d/w

I confess, I scrapped it. Spent another couple of hours on it on Sunday, including leaning it back at a quite significant angle and proved to my astonishment that water can indeed run up hill…. 🙄

I do HATE being beaten by a machine………
