    Please note: some Bosch dishwashers are subject to a product recall for a safety modification. Details of models affected can be found on our blog using the following address: http://blog.espares.co.uk/espares/2011/09/important-safety-notice-potential-fire-hazard.html

  • Thanks for your advice. I assume you mean the microswitch heater. Where is this located? By johnny - Hampshire - 07 October 2013

    It is usual on many dishwasher programmes to start with a cold rinse where the machine fills washes and empty's these appear to be working ok but when the second 'hot' wash starts it blows the fuse. This suggests the heater has failed, dismantle and check the heater.
