There are a few possibities...
check the spray arms are clear by removing any blockages in the holes, check that there is enough water entering the d/w by removing the lid (no screws on lid, there are two clips at the rear, release them and the whole lid will slide back and then off) and take the two t20 screw off the left side panel at the front you should check the pressure chamber and its hose are not blocked. Use the link and go to page 4, part 0428 and 0426. Whilst you have the side panel of, fill the d/w and once the inlet valve closing, reset the machine and watch the drainage thru the left chamber is flowing ok. You can also remove 0420 (remove t20 screw via the sump after all filters are removed) this will expose the pump impellor and you can check for any obstruction. If the d/w is connected via a sealed spigot to the sink, remove the grey hose and unscrew the spigot adaptor from the sink and ensure there are no blockages.
You have not mentioned that the d/w is not heating so I assume it is, as this could be a problem also. However, although the machine is heating the water is distributed via a motor attached to the heater box that alternates the water between the top and bottom basket. If this is faulty you will find that the d/w will clean one of the baskets beautifully and the other not at all. (unfortunately this will req a new instantaneous water heater which is best fitted by an expert)

I appreciate that this is not you model but the parts should be in the same position.
If you req any further assistance pls repost, if this is helpful pls leave feedback.
Best of luck.

I am not sure about this model but most models run a drain cycle for a set period at the start of a wash cycle and then move on to normal filling and cycle of machine provided the various switches are at the low level it will carry on to its set cycle,is the apartment or flood switch ok?

Switch machine on but do not program.
Press and hold PREWASH button.
After a few seconds it begins beeping.
Keep holding PREWASH button in until beep gets quiet
then eventually stops.
Hope this helps - Colin, Billericay Essex

Can't see what your original problem was but the electrical smell could be the power connection in the junction box in the bottom of the dishwasher. I have had several burn the wires here.
Also, not sure of the age of d'washer. some of the older ones had an issue where the wires come up into the door. look at the harness where it goes thru the bottom of the door.

May be pump problem. Air trapping inside the pump also makes this noise. Add water in the chamber direct manually. Close the door and start the cycle. If the running is Ok, it is air trapping problem. Next wash load it will be alright. Otherwise clean the pump.

Check if it rotates freely if you spin it manually.

If there are no jams. Most likely there is not enough water circulation. Pump or motor is not working properly.
It will need to be removed and rebuilt or replaced.

go to appliancepros.com to find your model it sounds like the water pump is failing they have a 800 number where they can help you figure out whats wrong and what model it is for sure. hope this helps you.

the cleaning section is mostly from the circulation pump. is the pump is not working it has to be replaced .go to sears partsdirect.com and check out part first,. this will let you know the prices to fix or replace. then call ten repair person and find the cost to change the circulation pump.

start by checking your water going to unit make sure it is hot , two check your water valve with ohms meter

there is a leak . when the unit stays in drain mode that means there is water at the bottom of the base. The float switch stays in drain mode untill the water is removed. you must take off the side panel to remove the water,let me know what happens.:)

Let me start by saying your dishwasher only need the jet dry to be filled completely.let me tell you a trick because im a old bosch tech. fill unit wait 5 second add more rinse aid then almost close the door three times .up then down up then down.3times you will be able to add more jet dry because of dispenser can hold alot. once the air is gone then it is filled completely. this with turning the water on first b4 starting machine will help water temp.last add cascade dishwashing soap this will solve your problem.let me know how it went.

module or drain pump need ed call 1-888-nyc-1055 they are pretty good with any bosch appliances.

is your pump clear?

There is a wqebsite called www.appliacneart.com that makes many different options for your dishwasher replacement panels. I know they have black, white, and stainless, but they also have a ton of other options like fireplaces, and paintings. Check them out it would probably be your best bet.

have you removed the cover over the pump inside the tub that is secured with one screw?
email me if you cant resolve it. [email protected]

You will have to check the the temp sensor. if the temp sensor is ok.then the control panel needs to be checked.If the control panel does not see a temp sensor, it never turns he heater on. There is a thermostat on top of the water heater. Is it being energized?
Turn off power at breaker and test the heater for continuity.
If it's open, the heater is bad.
if it shows continuity, you have to trace the control voltage. Taking apart a Bosch unit is TOUGH for gaining access to the heating element. Its a ral bear so I would advise getting a well Bosch versed guy in to do this replacement. Heating element Your dishwasher has an electrical heating element that helps to dry the dishes. If the element is burned out, the dishes won't dry properly, and you need to replace the element. Drying fan Many high-priced dishwashers have a small fan that blows air or heated air into the dishwasher to speed up the drying process. If the fan is defective, you need to replace it. Thermostat Some dishwashers have a thermostat that monitors the drying temperature. If the thermostat is defective, the heating element may not cycle on or off properly. If that's the problem, you need to replace the thermostat.
