PostHeaderIcon How can I change the settings on Bosch Exxcel Dishwasher?


Hi, I’ve got a Bosch SMS50EGB12 Exxcel dishwasher and I need to change the water hardness setting. However the method in the manual doesn’t work for me. The manual suggest Turning on then Press and Hold Start but nothing changes, the cycle time just flashes.

Anyone with this washer able to help?

Hi There
I don’t have a dishwasher (in my house I’m the dishwasher) but I do have a Bosch manual of Appliances as I just got a new washing machine 3 weeks ago.
On looking at the page that your Dishwasher is on there is no Adjustable Water Softener facility listed for it.
The other machine on the same page which is a SMS50E02UK does have that facility.
Could it be that your machine doesn’t have this.
On the back of the brochure there is a number for Product Advice Line its 0844 892 8925. It might be worth phoning and ask for their advice.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

PostHeaderIcon I have a Problem with my Bosch Dishwasher???


I had my Bosch Dishwasher for about a year and a half, and since we are not used to having one we did not use it a lot. Probably only three times. Now we wanted to start it up but it doesn’t work. The problem is that the water is let in and fills the bottom. Then the detergent is let out and left on the bottom. After that nothing happens. Can anyone help me on this problem
Thanks for your answer but how do i check the tubing.

The drain is probably clogged going to your garbage disposal. Take the garbage disposal line coming from the dishwasher off of the disposal. It will be attached with a strap and a regular screw. Loosen that and look in the hose. You can stick a screwdriver down the hose and see if there is anything obstructing the hose. If there is no obstruction, you might have a problem with the motor or the seal on the door. If the door doesn’t seal correctly the dishwasher won’t run. Best bet, call a local place that sells parts for Dishwashers or if it is under warranty, the place you bought it. You can also email Bosch about it, they can tell you the most likely culprit and if your lucky, they might offer to fix it for you. Sometimes businesses have small problems with a limited number of products and they don’t recall or notify, but when you call or contact them, they acknowledge the problem. At the company website, you can also get brochures, parts and locate authorized service centers.
