Bosch Dishwasher Woes

OK I am definitely regretting not taking out warranty on this!
My wife was first up this am and found the dishwasher still making
a noise from last night's program.
She opened the door to find a flashing tap symbol on the control
panel. According to the operating instructions, this indicates
"water in the safety system". The instructions are to turn off
water, unplug and call customer services.
Has anyone had experience of this failure to know what it actually
means?
The dishwasher is Bosch model SMV50C00GB.
Thanks

You have to jump through many loops to get someone out, then the
engineers are not the best. Also we have yet to get a receipt for monies
paid, even though repeated asking!

in my case) the pump would run continually.
You may find the same sort of arrangement in yours.

In article <mj6vfs$n1l$1...@dont-email.me>,
You need to disconnect from electrcity and pull out the appliance
(carefully as it may spill water from the under-tray, and you don't
want it spilt into anything electrical where more damage will happen).
Remove a panel on one side or rear so you can see in, and then empty
the under-tray by tipping the machine so it pours out harmlessly, or
by sucking up with a sponge.
This should allow the machine to start working again, providing the
float switch clicks back into normal position.
With a torch, keep looking underneath to see where the water is
leaking from. It might not do it all the time - might be only in
certain parts of the cycle. It might be so slow it takes several
runs to trigger the float switch (and in this state, it might
evaporate enough between runs that it only triggers after an
unusual number of runs in quick succession, such as when you
have the whole extended family around on Christmas day;-).
One issue which can cause this without there being a fault is if
something gets caught in the door seal when the door is closed,
which causes a slow leak in the seal, such as a knife or fork in
the cutlery basket. Of course, as soon as you open the door and
slide out the racks, the evidence is lost, so that is usually
something you can only assume by elimination of any other leaks
and if it doesn't happen again.

Unfortunately this is an integrated model (yes I did try to avoid

I always add a few drops of washing up liquid when closing the door to
start a run. Don't add enough to foam up though, or you will stop the
main wash pump working (it can't pump foam very well) and foam may
spew out of the machine. These few drops seem to prevent the build-up
which otherwise gradually forms in the pipework of the machines, and
eventually stops bits working and/or requires the use of a dishwasher

and that is with more than 40 years with a particular dishwasher,
normally using Finish dishwasher detergent and no rinse aid at all.
The one effect I did get when I used to roast lamb in stainless
steel baking pans which I didn't bother to clean after every
roast, just let the fat congeal and use that like that next time,
was that when I did tip the fat out and put the roasting pan
in the dishwasher without doing anything else, I did end up
with quite a bit of grunge on the back side of the filter that
goes in the bottom of the dishwasher that I had to scrub
off with a dishwashing brush manually every few months.
That dishwasher now appears to have scaled up on the
water inlet solenoid so it no long fills with water properly.
I did try one lot of dishwasher cleaner to see if that was
the problem, but it made no difference. Haven't got around
to dismantling the dishwasher and replacing the inlet solenoid
valve if that is necessary, because I found one at a garage sale
that works fine and it cost less than a new valve would likely
cost and the old dishwasher also had a problem with it not
always doing the final hot rinse. Its always done that at times.

I have the same issue and model as the original post. The filter compartment is dry but the pump keeps running, just a slight gurgling.....salt compartment is full of water but I think it normally is.
Any advice before I have to spend £95 to have a Bosch engineer look at it!

After refilling with salt the Salt Light on our Bosch dishwasher comes

original time. The model is SPS5462GB/19 - a four place setting model.
Does anyone have any fixes for this?

just in time to call in a service person for free (who turned out to be
a woman). She said that it was often necessary to stir the salt around
in the salt compartment with a spoon for a time to ensure it didn't all
pool at the bottom. We've been doing this when the salt light comes on
too soon every week or two, and after re-filling, and it seems to work.
A bit of a design defect, of course, but an easy work-around. Of course
your problem might be a more serious one.

Had the same on bosch smv40t10gb. It was the float switch that had been blocked by a lemon pip that was caught in all the gunk that builds up. I took the whole plastic float tank off and washed it out with hot water and washing up liquid and it finally came out along with all the gunk and now everything seems to be working again. Not a quick job though and going to order a new flat tank as it looks like it will gunk up again over time. Hope you fixed yours ok

Presumably someone didn’t put it back properly after cleaning it.

Yes it is. But it's certainly possible to not put it back properly
after you take it out to get the rubbish out of it.
We had a similar problem with a washing machine.

does, it may be they're not cleaning it properly or using proper doses
of liquids/powders/tablets, but that seems to be a habit that the owners

The salt in tablets never gets to the ion exhanger. If salt is omitted the exchangeer fails permanently. Cloudiness & limescale follow.

bother. And having just fed and cleaned up after 4 adults and 3 children
this xmas, I'm more convinced than ever.
Mind, the dishwasher did start making a pulsing/banging pipe sound the
last few washes, but seems to have fixed itself at the last wash. Very
occasional dishwasher cleaner aside, it's had no maintenance in the 6
years I've owned it - it's 12 years old, bought S/H.
> You can always tell plates, glasses and cutlery that get dishwashered,

regularly. I estimate they've had well over 500 dishwashes - still look
like new. The only time things go a bit weird is if something slips in
the wash, and stops the spray arm rotating
Alas it has nearly washed off the photo from my Karl Marx mug, but hey.
No other damage that I've noticed.

my (Siemens) dishwasher. In the manual it says:
--
When the control is set to 0, it is not necessary to fill up with salt
as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating. The LOW SALT
indicator is switched off. If the control is set between 1 and 7
and, then salt must be added to the dispenser.
