My dishwasher is not feeling well. It is running and sounds like it goes through the cycles, but the little cube of soap isn't getting dissolved and nothing is getting clean. Just wet. Any ideas? It is about a 5 year old Bosch. And I am not happy.
Sounds like the fill valve crapped out.
Use your googlefu and see if the same symptoms.
Bingo. I am working in my office while my wife is upstairs troubleshooting. She just came down to tell me she thinks we need a new fill valve. Guess I married a good woman huh?
Wait so she's ok? Im confused now because of the title of the thread I thought she had died!!
Cube of soap. Those things are wrapped in plastic and it needs to go somewhere. Your pump intake could be plugged and your not getting enough water flow to actually wash anything, just get things wet. Also, is it draining properly when it does drain?
I had a Whirlpool dishwasher crap out in a similar fashion. Replaced it with a GE not long ago. I still have the soap cubes, but I remove the plastic first.
My parents had a Bosch. It malfunctioned and melted the power cord and outlet without tripping the breaker.
go down and take the hot water hose off from the sink faucet. Tell us what you see. A screen? Plugged hose? Calcium buildup?
This is easy, compared to replacing a rim joist on a brick house.
