Bosch dishwasher won't drain

Dishwasher Repair

I have baled approx. 3 gallons from the bottom of the unit after the final cycle. Is there a command to activate the drain cycle only? Can you suggest a sequence to diagnose?

Thanks David

Hi David,

The first thing I would check is the air gap on top of the sink, if there is one. Remove the top piece and check the air gap for a clog. If there is no air gap then disconnect the drain hose from the garbage disposer, put this end of the hose in a bucket, start the cycle and see how it drains. Any cycle begins from drain. Post the results.

Here are the break down diagrams for the Bosch dishwasher Model SHX46A05 UC/14 (FD 8211-)

You can find how to cancel any cycle and initiate the drain in the Owners Manual.
