Bosch Dishwasher Indicators

Bosch dishwasher indicatorsModern models of dishwashers provide various indicators that facilitate operation and make it clear and simple. Indicators in the form of LED bulbs are not only a source of information about the dishwashing process, but also possible malfunctions. In this article, we decided to talk about indicators of Bosch brand dishwashers.

Description of indicators

The indicators in the dishwashers are located on the control panel, which is located either at the top of the front side of the machine or at the end of the door at the top. For all Bosch dishwasher models, the following indicator symbols are used, as shown in the picture.

Bosch dishwasher indicators

  • 1 - wash indicator (drawn brush);
  • 2 - indicator of the end of washing;
  • 3 - water supply indicator;
  • 4 - indicator of the presence of salt;
  • 5 - indicator of the presence of rinse aid.

In models of dishwashers with display indicators can be equipped with washing modes, as you see in the photo below:

  • indicator 1 corresponds to a temperature selection in the range of 65-750WITH;
  • indicator 2 corresponds to the automatic washing program;
  • indicator 3 - temperature selection in the range 35-450WITH;
  • indicator 4 is an economical washing mode at 500WITH;
  • indicator 5 - quick wash at 450WITH;
  • indicator 6 - preliminary rinsing.

In addition to those listed in Bosch dishwashers with display, there is also a time indicator. In some models, additional functions are also equipped with indicators, for example, the Hygiene Plus function is indicated by a baby bottle, and the additional drying function is indicated by wavy lines with a plus sign.

Note! At the bottom of the door of the dishwasher there is an indicator that is projected as a red dot on the floor, it informs that the machine is working.

Indicator lights

beam on the floor in the dishwasher BoschIn Bosch built-in dishwashers, in which the control panel is located at the end of the door, the indicators go out when closing. In machines with a remote panel, some indicators light up during the operation of the machine. Such indicators include washing mode lamps. At the end of the program, the “End” indicator lights up, and the red beam on the floor, on the contrary, goes out.

When the “Brush” indicator is on, it means that the washing process is in progress. If the salt indicator lights up, this informs the user that the salt has run out in the ion exchanger tank, it must be filled up.

Important! If there is salt in the ion exchanger, but the salt indicator is still on, try mixing the salt, most likely the problem will be fixed.

The rinse of the rinse aid indicator also indicates that the product has run out. The lamp will go out if the rinse aid is added to the compartment.

LEDs blink: decryption

In cases where one of the indicators on the Bosch dishwasher is blinking, you must look for a problem and a malfunction in the machine. It can be both serious and simple, easily solvable. Very often, users turn to masWhen the water supply lamp (“faucet”) flashes, the “End” indicator may light up at the same time. In this case, as a rule, the dishwasher may not respond to button presses, a hum of a running pump is possible, water does not flow. The likely reasons when the water supply sensor is flashing may be:

  • the water supply tap is shut off - it rarely happens when the tap is simply forgotten to be opened, or during washing, water was shut off to the house;
  • the filling valve has broken, so water does not enter the machine;
  • there is a malfunction in the control board, contact burnout;
  • worked aqua stop system after water has entered the pan.

Another malfunction occurs when the “brush” sensor flashes, while the machine does not wash, but you hear how the pump works when the water is pumped out. In this case, experts recommend checking if the Aqua Stop has worked. You can try to tilt the machine a little to the side so that water flows out of the pan, then restart the program.

In some cases, two lights on the panel may flash at once. For example, the rinse aid sensor flashes and the rinse aid indicator flashes, provided that there is rinse aid, water enters the machine and the wash does not start. In this case, the masters suggest checking the circulation pump and the water supply system, but it is only possible to tell the exact reason why the indicators are flashing after a thorough diagnosis.

Pay attention! Sensors for water supply, rinse aid, and salt are not indicators of errors in the event of breakdowns.

Thus, only the master can diagnose the exact reason why the indicators on the Bosch dishwasher blink or light. In some cases, the paws should burn, because this is provided for by the program. But when the machine stops washing dishes and stops, you have to disassemble the dishwasher to fix the problem. Therefore, be careful, read the instructions before you panic and do something.

    When the “brush” sensor blinks, the malfunction turned out to be incorrect loading of the sheet from the oven (position as in the oven).
