Bosch Home - Mayday! Mayday! No, a red light on your Bosch dishwasher doesn't signal an emergency. Our dishwashers are so quiet, a red light, called InfoLight, shines on the floor to let you know that your dishwasher is running.
The flashing red light means the dishwasher thinks the door isn't closed. Try to flip the breaker off to the dishwasher or unplug the dishwasher for 60 seconds to reset the electronics. Open and close the door firmly and try the dishwasher again.
This light turns red while the dishwasher is running, showing that it's in the middle of a cycle. After the cycle is complete, the light changes to green and stays on for two hours. However, if you notice it flashing, it could indicate a problem with the water supply.
A star or snowflake symbol means final rinse agent, or rinse aid. You'll typically see it on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir, located next to the detergent reservoir on the inside of the door. What's rinse aid?
Unlock the filter unit found at the base of the dishwasher and carefully pull it out. Separate the unit by carefully unscrewing the cylindrical filter first. Clean both filters under running tap water. You can use a small brush to gently clean the inside of the filter and remove smaller pieces of debris.
Rinse Aid. This icon indicates low rinse aid and may look like a star, snowflake, or sparkle.
The “water tap” symbol appears in the display when there is a problem with the water inlet.
Blue - Washing In-Progress. Red - Drying In-Progress. White - Cycle Completed. Blinking - Cycle has paused.
How can you tell if your dishwasher is clogged? If it's not draining very well or if an inch or more of standing water consistently collects in the bottom of the tub, you likely have a clogged dishwasher.
Some models require you to shut off the power to the dishwasher either by unplugging it or shutting off the circuit breaker. Others are reset by pressing and holding the Start/Reset button on the control panel, then waiting a few moments before attempting to start a wash cycle.
One of the most common complaints about Bosch dishwashers is poor cleaning performance. This issue can manifest in various ways, such as dishes coming out dirty, residue left on glassware, or food particles remaining on plates.
A number of models project a red LED dot onto the floor to make it obvious that the appliance is running and therefore prevents accidental opening of the door during the cycle.
The water pressure is too low or the supply hose is blocked or kinked. Check the water pressure directly from the tap using a bucket.
Dishwasher safe symbols often appear as a couple of circles, usually one smaller and one larger, representing plates. They look like they're being rained on, either with images of water droplets or diagonal lines. If you see this symbol, it means you can go ahead and put it in the dishwasher.
Start by resetting your dishwasher by turning it off and then back on after three minutes. Once you've turned it back on, press the start button for 10 seconds to further reset your dishwasher's computer. After 10 seconds the error code should disappear and you can start using your appliance again.
Customer: Bosch Dishwasher SHU9955UC/UC12 I have a "star" near the time for washing. What does this mean. The dishwasher has been stored about 4 months during kitchen remodeling. It means your rinse aid is out, or the sensor thinks it is.
Frost warning light
A fairly self-explanatory one, a snowflake shaped light shows up in amber when the temperature is close to freezing and red if it's below.
Generally speaking, electronic control models have light emitting diode (LED) indicators that take extremely small amounts of electricity to operate. The lights go off after a period of time if the Dishwasher is not started. Pushing any button or opening and closing the door will re-illuminate the lights.
If you're Bosch dishwasher displays a red light on the floor and it is currently blinking and the dishwasher is not running it is because you are out of rinse aid fill the reservoir and it should work.
To do this, switch to the relevant appliance settings using the controls on your household appliance. On your dishwasher, for example, you will find this function under the menu item 'Reset to factory settings'. For your washing machine or tumble dryer, the menu item is 'Network settings >> Reset'.
Some common reasons for this issue are issues with the water supply, a faulty water inlet valve, a malfunctioning float, or the door switch that isn't working.
