Default Lasted only 2 years?

Our last GE dish washer lasted almost 20 years which I replaced pump
motor once. This Bosch Acenta dish washer lasted 1/20 of time. Light
flashes when power is on but nothing can be done.

Any one experienced this symptom. I can power on whether I leave the
door open or closed. Normal wash cycle light blinks and nothing else
I can do like selecting wash cycle of starting the washer.

Any one? I just hope it is not dead control board(must be expensive).
Attempting to reset the washer doesn't do anything.

Local appliance dealer won't carry Bosch DW. Said they are a good
machine as far as washing, but too many service calls.

Just replaced my 25+ yo Kitchen Aid with a new one.

Get rid of it. My experience is that Bosch is a "brand" and that's all. Expensive, shiny and low quality.

Many credit cards double the manufacturer's warranty length on
purchases. If you're still inside two years, you might be covered.

Tony, try cutting the power for a few minutes to reset the brain. Some stuff
is just sensitive to power problems. Than see other posts.

the problem with bosch, to replace anything other than the fill valve you must take it totally apart...

they work quiet and great but sears had the only service techs available that worked on them.

with hours to make any repair you cant afford to fix them.

bosch uses modular expensive parts, not worth repairing

Pull the power cord for a few minutes. Irrigation controllers and
garage door openers get silly after a power spike/surge/temporary
outage, too.
