The drain motor runs continually. Various posts imply a bad fill valve or a stuck float. Can anyone supply the test procedure for this. There is a web site for testing various Bosch models but not this one. -roddym

The drain motor runs continually. Stuck float, stuck float switch, bad float switch, water in the base are common trouble makers for this type of a problem. http://www.applianceaid.com/boschDW.html#fill jeff Appliance Repair Aid - your online applliance repair shop JRAppliance

Water can be sopped up from under the d/w ( kick panals off ), inside the base ( towels, sponge, ect )....but must find why the water is in the base....leak, too much soap, ect. jeff.

Once I was able to remove the side panels (star screws - trip to Lowe's :-( I could see inside the base of the unit. We have had a mouse get into it and the mouse has partially consumed the styrofoam disk that the grey plasttic lever base to the red float rod sits on. Could this be a problem? Thanks -roddy

Yucky Could this be a problem? Yes. Make sure the red arm is down and not held/stuck up. In the down position the float switch is not tripped. Water in the base lifts the foam disc and the red arm tripping the float into that flood mode....drain pump always runnign and no fill. Link: Float disc jeff.

One thing though, is that when the machine drains, the noise from the drain motor seems a lot louder than before, not at all times, but several times during a complete wash cycle. Since the machine went into flood mode in the middle of the night and it took a while for us to notice that the drain motor was running continuously, do you think it could have been damaged? Thanks -roddy

It is possible yes. One thing though, is that when the machine drains, the noise from the drain motor seems a lot louder than before, not at all times, but several times during a complete wash cycle. Unless the noise is terrible or unbearable, -I'd- leave it until the drain pump quits or gets worse. JMO! jeff Appliance Repair Aid - your online applliance repair shop JRAppliance
