How to Drain a Bosch Sensotronic Dishwasher

Your Bosch Sensotronic dishwasher can be drained midcycle in the event of a problem. You might have chosen the wrong wash settings, loaded items unsuitable for dishwasher cleaning, or noticed an unusual sound that you want to investigate. Initiating a drain cancels the current cycle; you can easily rescue the necessary items and restart the wash once the appliance is idle. Draining the dishwasher takes less than 5 minutes.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Locate the pair of buttons on the control panel marked "Cancel Drain." The buttons are sometimes separated on the controls but connected by a line with a dot at each end.

   • 2

     Hold both "Cancel Drain" buttons together for three seconds. The dishwasher will stop and begin to drain.

   • 3

     Wait approximately 1 minute while the water is pumped out of the dishwasher. Open the door once the dishwasher is silent to remove whatever is inside.
