Resetting the water tap error on a Bosch dishwasher can help resolve certain issues related to water supply and water pressure. Here's a general step-by-step guide to reset the water tap error:
Turn Off the Dishwasher: If the dishwasher is currently running, press the "Power" button or "Start/Stop" button to turn it off. Wait a few seconds to ensure it completely powers down.
Disconnect Power: For safety, you may want to unplug the dishwasher from the power outlet. Alternatively, you can turn off the dishwasher's circuit breaker at the main electrical panel.
Check Water Supply: Ensure that the water supply valve to the dishwasher is fully open. The valve is usually located under the sink, beneath the dishwasher's hose connection. Turn the valve counterclockwise to open it fully.
Check Water Pressure: Ensure that your home's water pressure is within the recommended range for the dishwasher. Low water pressure can trigger the water tap error. If necessary, contact a plumber to address any water pressure issues.
Inspect the Water Inlet Hose: Check the water inlet hose for any kinks, bends, or damage that could be obstructing water flow. Straighten the hose if needed and ensure it is securely connected to both the dishwasher and the water supply.
Wait for a Few Minutes: After performing the above checks, wait for about 10-15 minutes before reconnecting the power. This brief waiting period can sometimes help clear certain error codes.
Reconnect Power: Plug the dishwasher back into the power outlet or turn on the circuit breaker to restore power to the dishwasher.
Turn On the Dishwasher: Press the "Power" button to turn on the dishwasher. Select the appropriate wash cycle, and then press the "Start/Stop" button to begin a new cycle.
Monitor for Errors: Observe the dishwasher during its operation to see if the water tap error persists. If the error message reappears, there may be an underlying issue that requires professional service or further troubleshooting.
Keep in mind that the exact steps to reset the water tap error may vary slightly depending on the model of your Bosch dishwasher. For precise instructions, refer to your dishwasher's user manual or visit the Bosch website to find the specific troubleshooting guide for your dishwasher model. If the error persists or you are unsure about performing the reset yourself, it's best to contact Bosch customer support or a certified service technician for assistance.
