Hello All,
My Bosch SMS 603 diswasher stopped working mid cycle and will not start.
There is power to the machine as the salt indicator is on.
The neon bulb (I say neon from inspection and I am not 100% sure) indicating machine on or off does not come on when the on off button is switched on. The neon bulb here is blackened. There is however a slight flash of light when the on off switch is depressed. There is a voltage here.
So I removed the program selector containing the on off switch.I couldn't see any problems.
One hypothesis is that the neon bulb has gone but I don't know if this would cause the machine to stop working. And if so what type neon bulb will it take? (I don't want to buy a new program selector as the bulb can be changed with bit of soldering. Again this may not be the problem...)
So I am stuck. Does anyone know if it possible to find a repair manual for this dishwasher model or circuit diagrams etc? (of course any advice is also appreciated)
Many thanks
