Bosh dishwasher soap dispenser won't open
Comments (12)I realize this is a super old thread, but it's one of the first hits I got when this was happening to me and I googled "Bosch dishwasher soap tray not opening" so I figured I'd revive it with the solution I found. My dishwasher seemed to be running (e.g. making swooshing noises) but the "in cycle" light stayed on, even overnight, and when I opened it the soap tablet dispenser was still closed with the tablet inside. It seemed to realize the soap dispenser hadn't opened and therefore wasn't completing the cycle. I did two things and then it started working, so I'm not sure which was the fix. The first was following this video to clear out the soap dispenser. Honestly, mine didn't seem gunked up at all, but maybe the act of taking the lid off and putting it back on again fixed something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wuEo__I9uY The other thing I did was turn it off and back on again to get rid of the "in cycle" light and then reset it, which for my model meant holding down the start button for three seconds until the display reads :01. (my model says "press for 3 seconds to reset" right on the control panel next to the start button, I had never noticed that before!) Then I closed it, it ran a 1 minute cycle, and the next time I ran it for real it worked. Anyway, figured I'd share because I was NOT looking forward to arranging a repair!...See More18 inch dishwasher?
Comments (7)I ran toekick across the bottom of the dishwasher as though it was a cabinet. I had to cut into the top a little to ensure that the door would open, but you can only see that cut if you are laying on the floor. Personally, I had an 18 inch Danby and I really liked it. I would look into who your distributors are. The nearest Meile distributor to me is bad news... Bosch would be a much better purchase for me in this location. (When we redid the kitchen DH insisted on a full-size dishwasher.)...See More33 c.f. refrigerator and 18" dishwasher for new build cabin...mistake?
Comments (16)You can get appliances in all sorts of colors. Black, white, and stainless steel are most common. But higher-end appliances allow arbitrary custom colors ... for an extra fee. And then there are specialty finishes such as copper or brass. If you want the most options, pick stainless steel. Everybody offers it, and it is unlikely to ever disappear. Some manufactures offer smudge-proof options. That's worth looking into. Some also over "black stainless". Don't go there, it's a thin coating that will eventually scratch and is impossible to repair. I'd stay clear of unusual colors, unless you have the budget to order all your appliances in custom colors; and you plan on keep doing that whenever you need replacement appliances. This will cost you many thousands extra, but it can look awesome. Alternatively, consider ordering panel-ready appliances for the ones where this makes sense (e.g. dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and some specialty appliances such as ice makers or trash compactors). As a special consideration for refrigerators please note that the side panels are frequently not made from the same material as the door. Depending on your cabinet design this can be a non-issue or it can be really jarring. I'd recommend deciding on the appliances before ordering cabinets. Make sure you give the installation manuals to your kitchen designer and/or cabinet maker. Once you have finalized your appliance selection, think about your sink. Again, stainless steel is a save bet. But copper can look gorgeous, enamel or stone can be a good option, and there also are various modern materials that could be considered. Personally, I like to give Rachiele sinks a big shout-out. Both their stainless and copper sinks are unrivaled. But they also cost more than many people have in their budget....See MoreCustom panels for a cabinet line not including appliance panels?
Comments (30)Sometimes you have to do something that appears to be outside what's commercially available only at the high end to get what you want or to get the equivalent at a reasonable price point. You don't get 'inspected' for a permit on your cabinet setup. You're free to have what works for you constructed. Or to construct what works yourself. Some walk on the grass through a park. Some stay on the paths. Both can be happy. Neither has to denigrate the other. I'll ride my bike on the path and look for morels where there aren't any paths....See Morehomepro01
