What to do if the dishwasher does not turn off. The dishwasher does not turn on or off

Akin to a catastrophe is the situation when the domestic helper refuses to join. Sometimes it happens vice versa. The car conscientiously worked the washing cycle, washed the dishes, but does not want to turn off and continues to work. It can be stopped by turning off the machine by which it is connected to the mains or by pulling the power plug from the outlet. The situation is not only unpleasant, but also promises unforeseen expenses for repair. If the dishwasher BOSCH is not turned off - with a high probability it will be necessary:

  1. Replacement or repair of the module (board, control unit)   If the BOSH dishwasher is not turned off, the most likely cause is a malfunction of the electronic module (control card or unit). This is a direct consequence of the deviation of the parameters of the supply voltage (usually the amplitude) from the nominal value by an amount exceeding the permissible value. In most cases, a malfunction occurs after a sudden power outage and resuming its supply. Emerging in electrical circuits in the so-called. transient processes lead to burnout of conductive paths, passive elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors) and semiconductors. Often the failure of the module (control unit, board) is so serious that the cost of its repair (repair) is commensurate with the price of the new node. In this case, it becomes expedient to replace it;
  2. Replacement (repair) of the drain pump (pump).   If the dishwashing program is completed and the machine does not turn off - the drainage motor continues to function - it may be necessary to repair or replace the pump that pumped water from the washing chamber (tank). To exclude the possibility of ignition of the windings of the electric motor due to its continuous continuous operation in an abnormal situation, we advise you to disconnect (disconnect) the dishwasher from the mains and call the master. After diagnosing the malfunction and establishing the root cause, he will determine what to do with the pump - repair or change. In some cases, you can do by replacing the sensors involved in the drain pump control circuit.

It should be remembered: an attempt to unqualified repair or reprogramming of the PMM control module or the drain pump is fraught with even more negative consequences until the fire. Therefore, when the dishwasher BOSCH is not turned off, it is advisable to instruct the experienced master of our service center to eliminate the problem.

If the BOSH dishwasher has not turned off due to an accidental malfunction

Sometimes it is possible to restore the working capacity of the dishwasher BOSCH and without the intervention of a qualified specialist. This happens when, during regular PMM operation, an accidental program or power failure occurs. In both cases, the machine can not complete its normal operation and must be forcibly disconnected from the power supply cable.

In order to prevent cases when after washing the dishes the dishwasher BOSCH does not turn off and continues to work, we recommend that it be connected to the AC mains by means of a separate machine. Turning off the latter for the duration of the dishwasher's downtime (when there is no need for it) is the best prevention of the breakdown.

The situation when the dishwasher BOSCH is not turned off is not catastrophic. Call the specialists of our service center. They at home will make free diagnostics and fix a malfunction of any level of complexity. Do not delay the call of the wizard. The aggravation of breakage, as well as unqualified repair, conceals the danger of a fire!

Among the problems in the operation of dishwashers are often problems with turning them on or off.

Most often they are manifested when the technology has already worked out some amount of time. But it also happens that a completely new and expensive technique is failing, so we'll try to figure out the reasons.

If the dishwasher does not turn on:

  • The first thing to do is to check whether it is connected to the network. The solution is obvious, it is quite simple to ensure the supply of food.
  • If all is well, and the plug is in the socket, and it does not work, then go ahead and check the serviceability of the water supply. Make sure that the tap is not blocked, and the hose is not kinked. Since this is a clever technique, it simply will not give the team the opportunity to work under such conditions. (We open the crane, and eliminate the kink of the hose by hand, especially since this is not difficult).
  • The next detail to check is the input filter. The reason is usually liming, which prevents water recruitment. We need to clean it, and, given that this problem has manifested itself, then it is necessary not only for the filter, but for the entire dishwasher, since the raid is formed everywhere.
  • Inadequate closing of the door. The reason is the same - the intellect of technology. It blocks work, preventing possible leakage. Either close tightly, or, if it does not help - inspect the seal, there is a defect.
  • Fuses, which often "burn" - another reason for this kind of problems.
  • And, finally, the malfunction of the programmer - the machine control unit - is one of the most unpleasant types of breakdowns. Here it is better to consult specialists who can diagnose the problem correctly and conduct adequate repairs.

If the dishwasher does not turn off

The reverse situation, when the dishwasher does not turn off, occurs as a result of the failure of the programmer, which was described above, due to the clogging of the drainage system, or the operation of the aquastope system. This is a less common problem, according to our observations, but more serious than the lack of inclusion. Therefore, if this happens, it is better to contact the service department and at least diagnose the exact cause of the problem. The exception is drain problems, when water can not escape, and as a result, a failure to complete the cycle of work occurs. In this case, independent actions can be aimed at eliminating blockage.

In any case, it must be remembered that even once such an incident may indicate a serious malfunction, which signals itself in this way, and therefore, if you do not have sufficient knowledge or repair the problem yourself failed - call. We are ready to help you, from oral advice on the phone, to quality diagnostics and repairs at an adequate price in any district of St. Petersburg.

Well, when the home appliances are ready to do all the work for you, and the dishwasher - to wash all the dishes.

It's bad that at the end of washing the car does not want to give you clean dishes and continues to work: something there shakes, pumps, hums, flashes with signal lights, but does not finish washing. What's the matter?

The reasons for this inadequate behavior of the dishwasher may be different. Consider at least the main and most common.

Reason # 1: failure of electronics

Not only the human, but also the electronic brain, you also need to rest sometimes. Not very useful, that this "sometimes" came in the middle of a cycle of washing, but it does not matter. You can try to turn the dishwasher off and on again. This often helps to return the dishwasher cycle to normal.

Reason # 2: clogged filter

You, of course, do not forget to remove the remnants of food from the dishes and use special detergents. But the filter still gets clogged with time. Now, apparently, the pump simply can not push through the waste water, and that's why the machine does not stop at all. Filter wash, replace if broken.


Reason number 3: clogged sewage

The reason may be not in the machine, but in the clogging of the sewer. The pump will not be able to push the water in the same way, if clogging has formed in the sewage system. In this case, the sewer pipe must be cleaned.

Reason # 4: pump failure

If there are no obstacles in the way of the waste water, then the weakened power of the pump may be an obstacle. Most often in this case the machine completely stops and does not drain the water. But this is if the pump broke completely. In the meantime, there are remnants of former power - in terms of power - the pump will try to pump out water, and these attempts can be endless. In order to be sure of the diagnosis, you should call the master performing, who will say if you need to change the pump or the case in something else.

Reason # 5: automatic leakage protection

Automatic protection against leaks in the dishwasher - this is a float on the bottom, which, when there is excess water, opens the damper and the water goes into the sewer.

The water leaves, the flap opens, and the water flows again and the flap opens again. This can continue indefinitely in the literal sense of the word. And your search for a place of leakage can also continue indefinitely, exactly, as well as attempts to remove water from a tray with a rag in the hope that everything will work out.


This will probably give a temporary effect, but it's hardly going to work about the normal operation of the dishwasher. At least, until you call an experienced wizard, who will find a leak and the reason for the automatic protection.

These are the top five most common reasons why your dishwasher may not want to turn off after the wash. Although, as you know, behind the closed door you can not see how well she washed the dishes this time and washed it, in general.

Automatic catch

For example, if the cause of non-stop operation is the activation of automatic protection against leakage, then the reclaiming water leaves earlier than it will have time to soak and properly wash the dishes loaded in the sink compartment.

Professional master will save in any case

In general, continuous work may not be the only surprise that the overworked dishwasher will present. To avoid such surprises in the future, contact ALM-remont.

Our masters will check the efficiency of all nodes and mechanisms, find and eliminate the true cause of malfunctions in the machine. And your dishwasher will work for a long time - in the good sense of the word!

The dishwasher is practical, convenient and time-saving. But one day you find that the appliance turns off right during operation: washing or rinsing the dishes. Do not rush to call the master; some problems can be fixed by yourself. You just need to read the instructions. Manufacturers often indicate in it the causes of malfunctions and methods for their elimination. If the instruction does not say so, we suggest you read our tips.

Many people believe that the completion of the washing cycle halfway is due to the fact that the timer is faulty. However, there are a number of reasons why the dishwasher can turn off during operation:

  1. Assembly of low-quality spare parts. Inexpensive Chinese models break down first.
  2. Before you load the dishes, you do not rinse the food. This causes the filter to clog. Too dirty dishes dishwasher does not wash.
  3. Broken rosette.
  4. Incorrect connection of the machine.
  5. A poor-quality detergent that does not wash the dishes.
  6. The door is not closed properly.
  7. Load the plates in the upper row, and in the bottom put pots and pans. Cups and wine glasses must be placed upside down.

Sometimes the reason for turning off the dishwasher may be a banal non-observance of the operating instructions. However, there are more serious malfunctions.

Error Codes

Modern dishwashers are equipped with software, so when a problem occurs, the machine can turn off and show the error code. Sometimes it lights up neon lights. The code represents alphabetic and numeric characters. For example, F10 or E2. It is necessary to write them down and look into the instruction, sometimes there are codes for codes. If not, you should inform the specialist about it.

Spontaneous shutdown

The dishwasher can be disconnected for the following reasons:

  1. The washing mode is incorrect.
  2. No power is supplied. It is necessary to check the shield, perhaps a fuse has blown up or the machine has shut down.
  3. The fuse in the plug is fused. It is necessary to replace it and check the entire safety device.
  4. The primary pump clogged. This problem is difficult to debug with your own hands, but you can check the outlet. It is necessary to raise the filter and inspect for clogging.
  5. Problems in the operation of the thermostat.
  6. The heating element has failed.
  7. The programmer broke.
  8. No water enters the working chamber. This may be due to the fact that the tap is closed.

Often breaks down float switch. It is a mechanism in the form of a plastic float located in the floor of the machine. When the camera is full, it pops up. This switch can block the operation of the dishwasher if its valves are faulty.

Probably out of order inlet duct, located at the bottom of the device. It can become clogged and prevent the passage of water.

Can break pressure switch. It needs to be disconnected from the terminals and blow into the branch pipe, to which the plastic tube is attached.

If there is a trip during the first start-up of the machine, it may be that the wire is not correctly connected to the plug itself.

Also, breakdowns in the electromagnetic control coil are common. The breakdown is very serious and will require the intervention of masters.

If the water is too hard and there are often remains of food on the dishes, then the system can go out spray.

A burned engine or problems with the pump require a call to professionals.


At the drying stage, it can burn electric heating element   or the fan operation is interrupted, and the machine will automatically shut down.

How to troubleshoot the dishwasher

If the reason for disabling the dishwasher is a clogged filter located at the bottom of the dishwasher, then it must be removed, rinsed and put back. A common problem is also clogging of injectors. It is necessary to take a toothpick and clean the holes.

Before starting repair work, do not forget that the machine must be switched off from the mains (remove the plug from the outlet, disconnect the fuse) and close the water tap.

Some problems can be solved independently, while others require experimental intervention. If you are not versed in electrical engineering, you better entrust repair of the dishwasher to specialists.

Since we are talking about a dishwasher of a German manufacturer, we should also approach the German pedantry to troubleshooting. To begin with, this malfunction needs to be found. Then decide which spare parts for Bosch dishwashers you will need for repair. Now the choice of details ( alm-zapchasti.com/cat/posudomoechnye-mashiny/bosch) for dishwashers Bosch is huge, so you will find any. And, finally, you need to decide whether you will do the repairs yourself or call the master. So, what could have happened to your Bosch pet? ALM-zapchasti service consultants will help us solve the problem.

The program of the Bosch dishwasher failed

German technology is quite reliable and breaks rarely. Therefore, if suddenly Bosch dishwasher has to work non-stop, just turn it off with a button (if it does not help - out of the socket) and turn it on again. Usually, after such a forced reboot, the German technique works on, no longer reminding of this incident.

The Bosch dishwasher filter is clogged

If the machine still works, as enchanted, without stopping the pumping of water, then the case may be in the clogged filter of the machine. German technology, of course, reliable, but the Russian "maybe" is not calculated. If you do not have the habit of carefully cleaning dishes from large food residues, and hoping for a chance (suddenly the machine will do it), then you know that the machine may not be able to cope. You need to pull out the filter and clean it.

The sewerage is Clogged up

This is not a matter of Bosch's technique. And maybe not even to you, but you'll have to clean the sewer, because your Bosch machine will not be able to push water into the clogged sewer.

Bosch dishwasher pump broken

If it's not a matter of electronics malfunctioning or clogging something, and the pump does not cope with pumping, while working for hours, you'll have to change the pump. Any spare parts for dishwashers Bosch buy in a specialized store ALM-zapchasti: alm-zapchasti.com/cat/posudomoechnye-mashiny   , and correctly pick them will help our consultants on the brand, model and a series of typewriters.

Protection of the Bosch dishwasher has tripped

In dishwashers, Bosch is very sensitive to leakage, which works at the slightest malfunction. The float rises, releasing water, and the new one is not accumulated, until the water that was in the car leaves. As soon as the water is gone, the float will return to its place, and the set of water will resume. But, as soon as the water appears in the pan again due to leakage, the protection will again work. This can last forever forever, until you find and do not eliminate the flow of water in the typewriter. As you understand, the faster you find the source of the leak, the sooner you will get rid of the problem.

Broken sensor dishwasher Bosch

Much less often the machine starts to work, without turning off, from a breakdown of the level sensor or the water flow sensor. But, if the assumption of a breakage of any sensor is correct, then you need to pick up a new one in the store that sells spare parts for Bosch dishwashers, and change the non-working part.

The Bosch dishwasher module broke

The breakdown of the module rarely causes non-stop operation of the machine, but you can not exclude such a possibility. The new module can only be accessed by a specialized store, otherwise you risk buying an unprogrammed module - just a piece of plastic.

These are all breakdowns of Bosch, causing continuous operation of the dishwasher. It seems that our detailed manual completely corresponds to the German canons of pedantry. And, most importantly, it helps you to deal with the failure and the set of necessary spare parts for repair!
