Nightmare .... before Christmas ! (That was a film wasn't it ?) Anyway - you have my sympathies. To be honest 5 years on I can't really recall the technical ins and outs of the Bosch dishwasher that was eventually consigned to the skip. Perhaps the experience was so traumatic I'm suffering...

Hi Ashanti8 ! OMG - doesn't time fly ..... and now you've gone and brought back all those turgid memories of me wasting my life trying to figure out what the hell was going wrong. My wife thought that I had completly lost the plot - she would come in and find me sitting in the kitchen with the...

Hi Ari - sorry that I could not have been of more help. Our Bosch dishwasher cost over 600 Euros when new - seven years ago. I was happy to spend that at the time for what I hoped, when buying the Bosch brand, was a machine built to last - hopefully ten years or more. (We had a Bendix washing...

Hi Ari - sounds like the same problem but after a rather drawn out process of trial and error buying and installing a few components on the water inlet side and sending the main electronic control board away to be 'repaired' (which was a waste of time) I eventually gave up and dismantled the...

OK - I must reluctantly admit defeat. After many weeks of trying to resolve the problem of why the machine is failing to take in enough water for the rinse cycle I have concluded it must be a fault on the PCB - despite sending the PCB away to have it 'fixed' (yeah, right) and now another 50 quid...

When you say 'there seems to be plenty of water sloshing around...' have you let it settle after opening the door to see whether the water is covering the full area at the base of the machine ? If there is some water in the machine - enough to fill the sump but not sufficient to cover the base...

It should pump out the water at the end of the main wash cycle and in doing so get rid of the detergent before refilling for the rinse cycle. Maybe the drainage pump or outlet hose is partially blocked so it's not completely clearing the 'old' water before re-filling for the rinse. Any other...

Forgot to mention - be wary of installing a new or repaired Module if you have not solved what caused the problem in the first place ! From what I've seen on this and other forums a major problem with Bosch dishwashers is a propensity for the Module to blow when something goes wrong with the...

Try sending QER an e-mail at [email protected]. I've just had an exchange of e-mails with a guy there called Eddie trying to diagnose a possible fault on the control module on my Bosch Logixx. Whilst not showing any obvious signs of damage it's possible that failure of a solenoid valve on the Heat...

As you say I think you have a different model to ours - certainly when it comes to the timer display and the location of the buttons. Our timer is numeric only and as far as I know cannot display error messages. So your machine is probably a later generation and might well have more...

Did it actually stop at around the 50 minutes remaining - or just appear to have stopped (not making any noises) but with the timer continuing to count down ? When in this state did you check to see if there was any water in it ? The reason I ask is that I'm having a problem with ours...

ANOTHER UPDATE ... SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR ...just got an e-mail from BSH Appliance Care to say that a replacement Pressure Regulator is not avilable - presumably no longer stocked or made. Have dismantled the Heat Exchange unit and all the gubbins below it once again to get a closer look at the...

gas4u & Tony - thanks for that. I'm not sure whether the boiler was installed on behalf of the current or previous owners. Either way they should have a certificate of compliance for both Gas and Electrical installations. If they can't find the paperwork then I think that this would support my...

Thanks Tony - after posting this enquiry I found a similar question had been asked on this forum about three years ago. No cut-and-dried solution and lots of discussion about the suitabliity of appliances in certain 'Zones' but the consensus was in favour of putting the boiler in an enclosure -...

Years ago I was told that you couldn't locate a boiler in a bathroom because of risk of electrocution. (As long as it was a room sealed appliance there was no issue with gas.) What do the current regs say ? Is it ok to wall-mount a boiler which is exposed to anyone using the bathroom ? If there...
