How to Reset Bosch Dishwasher

If your Bosch dishwasher is acting up, stuck mid-cycle, or displaying an error code, a quick reset can often solve the problem. Fortunately, Bosch dishwashers are easy to reset—once you know how.

Here’s a simple guide to reset your Bosch dishwasher and get things running smoothly again.

When Should You Reset Your Bosch Dishwasher?

• The cycle is frozen or won’t advance
• The dishwasher won’t start
• You see an error code on the display
• The buttons aren’t responding
• You want to cancel a cycle and start over

How to Reset a Bosch Dishwasher

Method 1: The Standard Reset (for most models)

1. Open the door slightly to pause the cycle.
2. Press and hold the “Start” button (also labeled “Start/Reset” on some models) for 3 to 5 seconds.
3. Wait for the “Active” light to turn off or for the display to show “0:00”.
4. Close the door. The dishwasher should drain and then end the cycle.

✅ On many models, this will also clear error codes.

Method 2: Cancel a Cycle

1. Open the door.
2. Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 3–5 seconds.
3. Close the door again.
4. The machine will drain the water and shut off once canceled.

Method 3: Power Reset

If the standard method doesn’t work:

1. Turn off the circuit breaker connected to your dishwasher.
2. Wait 5 minutes.
3. Turn the breaker back on.
4. Start a new cycle.
