20 Most Recent Bosch 22 in. SKT5102 Free-Standing Dishwasher Questions & Answers

see the following causes:Make sure you get water to the dishwasher. Check to see if the water shut-off valve (located under the sink) is open. If you get water to the dishwasher, but there is still no water inside during the fill cycle, the problem might be with a faulty water valve (located at the bottom of the dishwasher) see diagram2) faulty float switch, test for open or faulty.see the diagram attached.God bless you

The circulation pump is possibly leaking and has activated the flood safety, if you can get the unit near a sink and tip it you may find water coming out from the frame area. I would suggest if this is the case that you contact an expert such as BSH home appliances as these units can be quite tricky to work on if you don't have any experience.
Hope this helps.

Hi.

The problem is likely the switch itself. the switch should be part of the control pad, which I think is a single spare. A test on the switch can be done by reading impedance on the control pad wiring harness while operating the switch. If the problem is not the control pad, then the problem is control module. Control module and pad are often sold together as a single control assembly kit.
Spares for this counter-top dishwasher are not available online. You will need to call directly the phone number listed on your Bosch owners manual to check price and availability.

Not a solution but exactly the same problem. I should have sent the machine back (I bought mine about 2008 too) but by now, 2010, the machine is a complete waste of time and money. The soap dispenser fails to open every time, wasting money, water and my patience because I then have to hand wash after all. will try the suggested oil trick, but it was obviously a bad design to start with.
