Re: Bosch Dishwasher won’t start cycle

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply. I’ve done some investigating this morning. There was a small blockage in the passage to the impeller on the drain pump which I’ve cleared but that’s not made a difference. Like I said, when it does start up it acts normally and I don’t have any problems with water not draining.

What I have noticed is that the control dial is out of alignment: unfortunately there’s no display on the machine so the only way I can test the dial is to turn it to reset so that three lights flash red. What I’ve found is that the mark on the dial doesn’t line up, I.e. the reset function was activated when the dial was pointing at the full cycle option. This suggests to me that maybe there’s a problem in there? I’ve seen a full replacement control panel on eBay for about £40, does this seem like a sensible move to just replace the lot?

Thanks again for your help 🙂
