Bosch dishwasher \\\'Not started\\\'

[davehart]

Just had to drain the base of my Bosch SGS0902 to stop it pumping continuously; I think the leak was caused by a loose water softener (not screwed tightly to bottom of washing compartment).
Now the dishwasher just flashes \\\'Not started\\\' (although the display briefly shows the normal display when the main switch is switched off). Pressing any button gets a beep. Closing the door makes no difference; the lock catch seems to be working ok. Have tried all combinations of buttons to reset but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Did you ever resolve this issue with the dishwasher just flashing "Not Started"?

I have a Bosch dishwasher (SGS09L12GB) that has started doing exactly as you have described.

I don't have the exact same model as yours, but my own bosch dishwasher leaked some time ago. After fixing the leak the DW would still not start.

The reason the machine would not start was that in the sump of the DW there is a float-switch. This switch is activated when ever there is water present in the sump, i.e. after a leak. To resolve the problem was simply a case of soaking up the water with a towel.

By the way, the original poster will probably not reply as he posted the question a year ago.
