Bosch dishwasher stuck in cycle

[domrom]

Dishwasher somehow overflowed while garburator was on.Water came out and we had water in front of dishwasher. Now it sounds like
It is stuck in a cycle - I think it is the Drain Cycle.
It looks and sounds like it is sucking the water in the area under the filter screen. The controls seem to be malfunctioning also. The dishwasher stays on even if the door is open.

Anti flood device in the base of the dishwasher has been activated.
You need to drain the water out of the base (under the cavity you put the dishes in) before it will reset.

I reomoved all the water inside the base both inside the machine and underneath it but it does not seem to want to reset.Sounds like pump stays activated and even with door open it will not go off.I left the door closed and it even soun ded the 4 beeps as i cycle was terminated but pump is always on.
Any suggestions

hi dom,your antiflood is active,Unplug the appliance,, to reset place a large towel behind the appliance and tilt the appliance back as far as you can allowing any water in the base to flow out onto your towel..Then press the reset on yout timer,,select a programme and now all should be ok.

i have the same problem.
tried tipping it back and draining. when I turn it back on it starts a cycle. i reset but the pump still runs even though the timer says 0 time remaining....
will run it again in the morning and see if it gets stuck again....

My dishwasher is stuck mid cycle.
I have tried draining the machine to disable the anti flood function and it worked for another two washes. Unfortunately this has happened again.
Is there anything else I can do to stop this happening?

There is a recall on the control board of many of these models, but your problem is likely not related. I have written a guide to help. It is here. Thanks!

Hi shepsamiller, I had the same problem, the pump got jammed then I couldn't reset but the pump ran even with the door open.
Your solution was spot on who needs the instruction book with people like you around. Good on yer!
