Re: Slight Odour Left on Glasses (Bosch Dishwasher)
Well, the replacement lid arrived today and apart from the fact its grey rather than white, all’s well and working again.
Thanks.Re: Slight Odour Left on Glasses (Bosch Dishwasher)
Thanks to all your help I think I now know what the problem is. I tried throwing the tablet into the dishwasher just as the main wash was starting and the glasses came out without any trace of an odour. So it seems this problem was directly caused by the tablet getting washed away by the pre-wash. Then I took the cover off the dispenser and had a closer look inside. The dispenser itself and the latch looked fine (no signs of wear), but there seemed to be something broken off the cover. If I am lucky I hope the problem will be resolved when I buy a new cover. Thanks to you all for your help (and patience).
Re: Detergent Door Fails to Open on Bosch Dishwasher
Has anyone ever looked to see what actually gets worn out on these latches? When I removed the door on the dispenser unit the mechanism looked pretty simple (not much to go wrong), but when I replaced it I couldn’t see what was actually snagging. It would be a shame to replace the whole dispenser unit if all it needed (for example) was a new spring.

Thanks Martin, I think this looks too risky for me to do myself, I’ll call someone.
Re: Slight Odour Left on Glasses (Bosch Dishwasher)
thanks all, I think the message here is call someone to do the job.

I know its not the control, its the latch mechanism that sticks.
Re: Slight Odour Left on Glasses (Bosch Dishwasher)
thanks kwatt, I’ve looped it up now so that the top part of the hose is much higher
Re: Slight Odour Left on Glasses (Bosch Dishwasher)
The hose from the dishwasher is on the right hand side and comes up from the floor. The sink is on the left and the vertical pipe comes down from some vegetable washer thingy.
Re: Slight Odour Left on Glasses (Bosch Dishwasher)
My wife put one of those lemony dangly freshness things in to try and get rid of the smell, but it didn’t work. There’s no film or discolouration on the glass and the odour is so slight that I can’t really tell what it smells like. I notice that the 1.5″ of water that gets left in the sump of the dishwasher (below the filter) is yellowish in colour and if I drain it out, then I don’t seem to get the odour on the glasses for several cycles.
PS. Because the plastic door on the detergent compartment sticks, then I think our only option is tablets trown in with the plates at the start of the cycle.

Start with removing rear steel cover (appliance unplugged of course) and make sure the thermal stat; situated on heater block adjacent to cycling stat, hasnt tripped, reset by pressing red button; a small click will be heard if it has tripped.
If this is the case you need to find cause now.
Let us know when you have checked this to go further with diagnostics.Greg
Yes, the thermal stat had tripped. I reset it and the heater now works again.
Many thanks.Re: Bosch Tumble Dryer Not Heating
Thanks gegsy, I didn’t know there was a thermal stat on this dryer. It wouldn’t surprise me if that had tripped, with 2 young children in our house the dryer is going every day and it sometimes gets a bit “over-filled”. I think I saw somewhere too on this forum where the advise was to always leave the dryer to run its complete cycle (including the cool tumble at the end). I have to admit, we don’t always do this 😳 This is an excellent forum for information. I will let you know how it goes when I open it up over the weekend.
Once again, many thanks.
