No power going to the dishwasher
If your Bosch dishwasher won’t turn on, there are a few things you can do to resolve this issue. Follow the steps below to repair your dishwasher and get it working again.
1. Check mains connection of the dishwasher
Please check the connection of the mains cable: is it correctly and fully inserted to the dishwasher, please check the connection at the back of your dishwasher. And ensure that the cable plug is correct inserted to the socket.
2. Check socket
If this has been established, check that the socket is providing power by plugging in another electrical product into the socket, for example a lamp. If the socket doesn’t work, insert the dishwasher plug into the socket next to it, if you have a double socket, and try again. Check whether the residual-current-operated circuit-breaker (FI) or the domestic fuse for the electric circuit has tripped. Mains fuse and residual-current-operated circuit-breaker (FI) are for your safety and respond if there has been an overload or short-circuit in the electric circuit. Check whether other appliances in the electric circuit have caused an overload.
If necessary, contact an electrician.
Dishwasher has power and lights on display.
1. Check the door
If there are light displayed, please check that the door is closed. Maybe door lock is snapped over, please close door with increase force.
An open door will prevent your dishwasher from starting.
2. Check the water inlet
One more reason preventing your dishwasher to start might be that there is a problem with the water inlet.
Details how to check the water inlet you can find here.
