The faucet indicator on the dishwasher is on
A properly functioning Bosch dishwasher may at one not-so-fine moment start junking or stop altogether, notifying the user of a malfunction only in one way - the illuminated or flashing “Faucet” indicator.
This problem is rather sparingly described in the instructions for Bosch dishwashers, so we decided to consider this "symptom" of the malfunction in more detail, devoting it and the breakdowns that give rise to this article.
Reasons for activating this indicator
If you believe the instructions for the Bosch dishwasher, then The “Faucet” indicator lights up or blinks if water supply to the dishwasher is difficult or absent. Quite a dry characteristic, given that we need to accurately establish the breakdown that caused the activated indicator. What failures actually give rise to this error?
- Clogged filter in front of intake valve.
- The filling valve does not work.
- The drain hose is not connected properly, causing water to drain.
- The Aqua Stop leak protection system was activated.
If you are having trouble recognizing indicators and designations in the dishwasher, you can read about it in the article of the same name. Getting confused in this matter is quite simple, which in turn will lead to the adoption of incorrect decisions, so read this information.
In each of the above cases, the “Crane” indicator can behave differently. If the inlet filter is clogged and water either does not get into the machine at all, or is poured very slowly, this indicator can either burn or blink. If the inlet valve does not work, then the indicator most often lights up. During self-draining, the “Crane” indicator almost always blinks, its same behavior is also observed when the leakage protection system is activated. What are these malfunctions and how to fix them, let's figure it out!
Note! If a malfunction occurs in Bosch dishwashers, not only the “Faucet” indicator can light up, but also an error code may appear.
Water supply problems
If the “Faucet” indicator lights up, it is likely that there are problems with either the flow-through inlet filter or the intake valve. If this model of Bosch dishwasher has a display, the machine may also display error E01. What needs to be done?
- Turn off the tee tap to prevent water from entering the machine.
- If there is an additional flow filter on the hose, it should be unscrewed, disassembled and thoroughly cleaned of water stone and dirt.
- Next, you need to remove the inlet hose, pull out the standard flow filter (installed at the entrance to the dishwasher), clean and rinse it.
If the above steps did not resolve the problem, you will have to check the filling valve. First you need to remove the bottom decorative panel from the Bosch dishwasher. From the front left to the very bottom you will see a filling valve with two contacts and wires going to it. We disconnect the wires, arm ourselves with a multimeter, and check the resistance. If the filling valve is out of order, it must be replaced. You can read more about water supply malfunctions in the article No water entering the dishwasher.
Self draining
The “Faucet” indicator can “show signs of life” if the drain hose is not properly connected to the sewer. It would seem, how does the drain affect the flow of water into the dishwasher? It turns out the most direct relationship. When the dishwasher draws water, and it constantly goes by gravity to the sewer, the control module can recognize this phenomenon as the inability to draw water to the desired level. After that, the “Crane” indicator starts blinking, and the machine stops working.
In almost all cases, problems with self-draining occur in dishwashers, which are in operation recently. Why does the water drain from the dishwasher? Because it is not properly connected to the sewer. Stop the dishwasher immediately and make a normal connection. You can read about how to do this correctly in the article. How to connect a dishwasher to the water supply and sewerage?
Note! A problem with an improperly connected drain hose can be repaired by yourself in 10 minutes.
"Aqua stop" worked
If the Bosch dishwasher is equipped with a leakage protection system, it is very likely that this system worked. When the “Aqua stop” is triggered, the dishwasher automatically shuts off the water, while often giving a system error with a certain code. The error code may not pop up, but the “Crane” indicator will certainly blink. What to do in this situation is described in the article. Aquastop dishwasher hose, read it and everything will become clear to you.
In conclusion, a burning or blinking “Crane” indicator on Bosch dishwashers most often indicates a malfunction. What is the nature of these malfunctions and their causes, we tried to review in the framework of this article. We hope this information will be useful to you, good luck!

Dishwasher
Thank you for the article. However, faced with the same problem, he began to look for an answer on the Internet and found that it was quite popular to advise pouring up to 10 liters of water into the working chamber of the machine.
After checking, I cleaned the filters and achieved nothing with this, I decided to use this advice as well. I poured water into the car (about 4 liters got into mine) and turned it on.
The machine (model Bosch spv-63m50ru) still worked! And now it works without failures.
Is it possible to get technical explanation for this shamanism?
Perhaps, due to the water, some distorted float stuck?
Thanks for the advice - it helped!
Cleaned the filter, it did not help. We saw Andrei’s advice, decided to take advantage of the recommendation. Poured 6 liters of water into the dishwasher, turned on the eco program, everything worked out. The crane went out. Everything worked as before!
Thank! And it helped me! 🙂
Pour water directly into the machine? I just have the same problem, I don’t know what to do already.
And I added a tap, lowered the pressure of the water at the entrance, and lo and behold, she worked
In my Bosch dishwasher, the faucet indicator lights up. In my case, the reason was the unclosed lid of the salt filling compartment! After filling with salt, they forgot to close this lid and the water from it went into the pan, which caused a tap error. He closed the lid - the faucet indicator went out and the dishwasher started working! If you have the same situation - check the tightness of the lid for filling with salt, and only then all other reasons.
Please help with the following problem. The program starts on the Bosch 50e90, the machine runs, but reaches the rinse and drying stage, after which the faucet lights up. The machine turns off / on and everything is fine again. The program starts, but stops at the rinse and drying stage.
I have the same thing, Igor, what did you have?
I was able to partially circumvent this problem: the machine erases at 70 degrees and in 48 minutes it starts to rinse hot and the faucet lights up. I transfer the mode dial to reset (reset). 0 is displayed on the screen, the machine stops. Then I put it into normal rinse and turn the machine off and on. 18 minutes light up on the screen and the machine makes a cold rinse, but ends the cycle and the dishes are clean.
I have such a problem too. Did you manage to solve it?
The machine constantly drains water, at 70 degrees, even if there is no water, it helps to disconnect from the network, rebooting does not help!
Nothing helped. Or maybe this is a problem with the ten? We noticed that nothing is warming inside.
We have exactly the same problem as in the last comments. Who managed to solve the problem?
Similarly! Unsubscribe, who was able to solve the problem?
Perhaps this article will help you: Dishwasher constantly drains water
I live alone with two children. Husband trucker. There are a lot of dishes since the youngest learns to cook. They gave us this miracle. Installed. 3 times washed the dishes and the indicator turned on. I was nervous. Thought ruined. I read the article. Pushed out from the wall. I cleaned the filter and poured water. And lo and behold! She earned!
Good day. The drain motor turns on, it buzzes for 2-3 minutes, turns off, silence, then turns on again. “Salt”, “Rinse aid” is on and the “tap” flashes. Moreover, if you open it, it continues to buzz. Previously, she stopped working. It already happened when the septic tank was filled, you pump it out and everything works, but now it did not help. The water tip didn't help either. The machine does not respond to the buttons, as if hung. And now it doesn’t even turn on at all. Help advice.
Good day! Tatyana, did you manage to solve the problem? I have the same thing now.
Water leaking into the pan
Turn off the dishwasher, turn it on its back, unscrew 2 screws, remove the pan, rinse, make sure that there are no leaks in the hose system, check the contacts of the modules. Reassemble in reverse order. Wash the dishes!))
Igor, Inga, Julia, did you manage to solve the problem? Please inform what is the reason.
Just ran into this problem. She was to blame, did not notice that the door rested on the ladle and did not close at all. I washed the dishes, but did not turn off, but only blinked with the tap button, did not respond to any operation. My husband cleaned the hoses, I studied the problem. Cleaned, turned on - blinks. Pissed off. Evening, and tomorrow to work. With force pushed into place and everything, the light went out, the car is working!
Water filling helped (2 liters) and reset on the start button to hold for 3 seconds.
Thanks to the commenters. The tap is flashing. Well, I think everything, the machine needs to be changed. I have it built-in. Today I decided to take it out. I began to look for where this pan with a float. Not found. Again on the Internet. Got an article. And the most important comment from Alexander, how to get to the pallet. I tilt the machine and the puddle on the floor right away. It is clear that from there. Some rotten water. Not fresh. He leaked it all. I did not look for how the pallet is removed. Launched 45 degrees. I'll wait an hour and see. Oh, and by the way, as soon as the water was poured out and the sweetheart tap stopped blinking.
Thank you so much for the advice! Indeed, flooded the water, turned on and earned!
I turn on 70 gr. Washes the dishes, but after an hour or after drying, the faucet turns on and does not restart. Remains water in the pan. That has been several times. Some time after removing the dishes, I rearranged 50 Eco. Earned washed and dried. I looked at the filter everything is fine and clean.
An almost new car has the Crane indicator on. However, she did not drain the water. There was no indicator in the previous car (not Bosch). But sometimes she also did not drain. I usually, at the same time, close the washer, start the “Rinse” mode, and I completely removed the problem. It helped with Bosch!
Good evening. Yesterday I bought the first dishwasher in my life. Connected, downloaded, launched.It works for a while, then squeaks three times and that's it. I open, the tap indicator is on. And in the drain area there is water and does not go away. Help advice, what to do? Or take her back to the store?
If the problem is in the machine itself, then I would definitely try to hand it back.
Can't drain. To check the drain hose in a bucket ...
I have the same problem. The new machine does not drain and the crane indicator lights up. Did you find out what was the reason?
The “drying” indicator started flashing when it loaded dirty dishes and pressed “Start”. In panic! Turned everything on and off several times. The same result. I read the comments. Scary: either a heater or a temperature sensor, or something else. I liked the easiest way to fix the problem in the comments: hold the Start button for 3 seconds. I held 5 just in case: that's it! The car is working! Good luck to all!
Good day! Almost the same problem! The indicator Faucet, Rinse aid, Salt lights up. In the machine and salt and rinse is! The problem is that the machine does not turn off. And 3 sec. Startup does not overload 🙁 What to do?
If the operation of the machine is interrupted with indication of the crane, I recommend checking the voltage in the electrical network. I had a voltage of 184 volts and the machine stopped working before reaching the end of the cycle. I changed the phase to a stronger one and everything worked fine.
My wife soaked very dirty pots in a Fairy type detergent, and then without rinsing, just drained the soaked pots - put them in the dishwasher at 70 degrees 🙂 After 25 minutes. foam and hot water climbed out of the car. The faucet flashes (Bosch machine). I didn’t think that the remnants of the detergent can give so much foam. 12 hours are dry - the faucet blinks as before. Obviously you need to get to the pallet.
Dishwasher BOSCH. Not a single program starts. I press the power button, the ECO program lights up, other programs do not respond. I start this IVF, the car is working, but the door is not locked. What's the matter, help me figure it out?
Thanks for the advice! 10 liters of water in the working chamber! And start up. And it worked.
Dishwasher Bosch. There were interruptions in the supply of water. The crane caught fire. And the intake stopped. I cleaned the filters - it did not help. I blew akvastop - did not help. In time I found advice about 10 liters.
Thank you very much.
I fumble for a faucet and does not turn off by itself, it buzzes. I cleaned the filters, the water drains. But the button cannot be turned off.
Thanks, it helped! I cleaned the filter, poured 6 liters of water, set the ECO mode, everything works!
People, tell me! After washing, I open the door, and the tablet is almost whole on the shelf of the upper basket for dishes. Those. it’s just rinsing with water. What could be the reason? Thank you in advance!
He put forward the machine, leaned forward, just looked and earned!
The crane started and the machine hung, did not turn off, did not overload. Filled with water to the brim, disconnected from the button and then earned. Thanks for the advice on water.
