I've read about these previously and hoped mine would not be one but after almost two years it seems there's no power coming to it. It's one of the hidden control models and during an overnight cycle it just gave in and in the morning the door was opened to a pool of soapy water at the base of the tub. The repair guy has been called. I hope the (out of warranty) repair isn't too close to the price of a new machine...

Wed Nov 26 21:04:35 -0800 2008 4202106 87837 RGC1982 1 4208888 What's up w/ Bosch hidden control dw's? Mine is the kind w/ controls on the front; yes, you actually have to push BUTTONS!!! The horror... I've seen many gripes on this board about the hidden control panel Bosch's. They need to be made aware of the problems w/ those models. Mine is 4 years old and gets used daily and it kicks a$$! No signs of croaking and at those prices, it dare not.

Sat Dec 27 11:08:01 -0800 2008 4202106 11003 chipman 2 4289302 The problem was that it was hooked up using plastic marettes (which melted) instead of the ceramic ones. Oops. Will have to pass this info on to our handyman who did the install. It was only a $200 visit from the repair guy to figure this out... Fri Jan 02 06:14:14 -0800 2009 4275990 13417 neighborguy 3 4289973 What's a marette? Same as wirenut? Had the exact same problem. Wires & wirenuts all melted together in the gangbox at the bottom of the dishwasher. Am lucky did not cause a fire. Found/fixed problem myself so saved a bunch. Assumed it was due to a loose wire, so just re-stripped all the wires and changed the wirenuts. Could it be something else? Supposed to use different type of wirenut (ceramic)? Recall defect? I better check it again. Fri Jan 02 10:36:17 -0800 2009 4289302 104996 pharmnerd 4 4290114 Also, used electrical tape to cover each connection. Found this article today: http://www.ehow.com/how_2280979_wire-a-dishwasher.html Seems the newer Bosch models have screw connectors in the junction box, to prevent the need for direct wire-wire connections. Fri Jan 02 11:24:37 -0800 2009 4289973 104996 pharmnerd 5 4302684 Thanks. Good to know mine was the only goof. Tue Jan 06 19:41:25 -0800 2009 4290114 13417 neighborguy 1 4655126 We moved to a new house and had always had a Sears Kenwood dishwasher but decided to "Move up" to a Bosch! Forget it, I now have to wash my dishes before putting them into the dishwasher and then clean off the debris and stuck on stuff after it comes out! I always used to wonder why people washed their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher! I thought maybe they were crazy, now I think maybe they have a Bosch. The only thing I can say in favor of it is that it is quiet. I complained on their website but all they said was "Most people have no problems and like it" Tue May 05 05:18:52 -0700 2009 4202106 289645 davidliddle 2 4658428 I had a Bosch for 4.5 years, and it came with the house that I bought. Best washer I ever owned. Quiet, super-tall top rack, always got the dishes clean. Now that I've moved, I miss my Bosch. I really do have to rinse the dishes thoroughly before I put them in the washer. I usually wash by hand now. :( Wed May 06 05:58:15 -0700 2009 4655126 231875 RealityMonster 2 4660478 Hmm. I wonder if it's your detergent rather than the Bosch dishwasher. I was always a scrub-and-rinse-the-dishes-before-loading gal, and after two years w/ my Bosch, I decided to test it a bit, since I recall reading the instructions that pre-washing was unnecessary. I also started putting the dishes very close together. Well! I must say the dishes come clean. Even egg and crusty stuff. And on the regular cycle. (Does anyone use the short cycle?) I've never used the "power scrub plus" cycle. Maybe you need servicing in that the spray isn't hitting well. I'd say something's wrong with your machine; it should (and for me, does!) clean off crud. Wed May 06 15:39:17 -0700 2009 4655126 33755 NYchowcook 2 4661030 The filter cup does need to be checked occasionally. More importantly, when you replace it, make sure it's secured properly. That seemed to fix a loose food particle problem I was having. Not as quiet as the Mieles I've tried to listen to...but cleans very quietly and very well. Wed May 06 18:50:33 -0700 2009 4655126 13417 neighborguy 1 4659344 I bought a Bosch dishwasher 7 years ago while I worked for Bosch Power Tools. It recently stopped draining and the technician I spoke with said it was a faulty drain pump. Once I got the new pump and tried to install it, I found out that the drain was clogged. Works well now. Wed May 06 10:15:44 -0700 2009 4202106 235931 BoardSMITH 1 5070337 I have had a recurring problem with my hidden controls model Bosch diswasher. The switch that turns off the water (to prevent flooding, keeps turning itself on (that is the control turns on -- which turns the water off). This has been a major pain, has anyone else faced and/or solved this issue? Wed Sep 30 13:44:51 -0700 2009 4202106 1113146 Benzer79
