Your Bosch Ascenta dishwasher may not be draining due to the following reasons:
1. Reset Needed – Try pressing the start button and holding the reset button for 3 seconds. This may activate the drain function. 2. Clogged Filter – A dirty or blocked filter can prevent drainage. Remove and clean the filter to ensure water can flow properly. 3. Drain Obstruction – Check for any small objects or food debris blocking the drain. 4. Installation Issues – If the dishwasher was recently installed, ensure the drain hose is correctly connected and not kinked.
If the dishwasher still does not drain after these steps, further troubleshooting may be needed.
