Bosch slimline dishwasher

[Peter.N.]

Hi folks

Hope someone can throw some light on this problem. The water fill doesn't because the neutral end of the solonoid is floating, if I connect it to neutral it will fill and go through its cycle then empty, but it immediatly starts filling with water again unless I hold the level micro switch in the full position, which is what I half expected, presumably the solonoid is held off when the programme is complete by open circuiting the neutral end.

The problem is I can't see where the wire goes, I know its connected to one pin of the processor but there isn't another that is connected to neutral so it doesn't seem that is doing the switching, apart from which the lead to the processor it white, the one from the solonoid is blue, so its obviously connected to something else somewhere.

I had thought of fitting an external switch that you hold in whle its filling - but I don't think the wife would think much of that idea

Any suggestions?

Peter

You lost me off in the second sentence....floating neutral...micro switch?
What were the symptoms before you started hot-wiring things? Post the model & E-number.

Thanks for the reply, its a Classixx, if that's a model, don't know where to find this number.
The symptoms are that it just fails to fill with water and so won't start the cycle, if I make it fill it works OK.

The model details are laser engraved in the top of the door lip (dead centre). Sometimes difficult to read in poor light. The first thing a dishwasher does is pump out stale water in the sump. If it doesn't do that then the machine won't fill. If you hotwired the inlet valve & it works stand-alone check for a drain or pump issue first (plenty of post on here regarding the subject). Good luck!
