![]() ![]() ![]() Did you get your yellow lever the lock back in the 'off' position yet? I did manage to poke something thin into the inaccessable hole, but it didn't keep the lever held back (to the right) when I withdrew it and reclosed the door. I'll either fix it or remove the mechanism, if you don't want that feature in your machine'. I asked him how long it would take, and the reply was 'Oh not long. I did phone a local appliance dealer who put me in touch with the engineer he uses to service the white goods he sells, but he (the engineer) said he'd come and fix it for me for his 'standard' fee (£65 + VAT). There appears to be some way of getting to the lock etc (as mentioned in the response in the second link you kindly posted), but it really is a bit vague too. So, quite frustratingly, I put it all back together again and left it for a rainy day. Thanks for the replies - I thought I had a problem that no-one else had yet experienced! I did remove all the little torque-headed screws to allow the bright metal inner plate on the front loading door, but then was foxed again by seemingly not able to do the same with the final bit at the top which holds/covers the lock mechanism (and yellow lever) itself. You're right though - how to get something in that hole when the front panel's pull panel is covering it up! Oh dear Bosch. Although I will first try the suggestion of poking something in the hole, moving the stick thing to the right and then removing the something. Arghh! My next idea is to super glue a piece of plastic to the left of it and see if that holds it in place. This worked for a while but today the tape moved and the lever 'closed' again. Yesterday I used strong tape to fix the front panel back in position at the far left side and then pushed the yellow stick thing over to the right and put strong tape to the left of it therefore keeping it 'open'. I've always found it odd that I've had to tug real hard to get the door open. It's ridiculous as on mine it was on by default. There's nothing in the set up instructions that mentioned it. There's something right at the back of the manual that mentions a child lock but its so vague. So much easier! I've had my dishwasher for 10 years and I never knew about this! So this is VERY annoying. After much investigation it was only then I noticed the same yellow stick thing tucked up and under the handle and worked out that if its moved over to the right then the door opens so much easier. ![]() It's not surprising seeing the amound of effort needed to open the door that the whole front panel bends forwards. Last week I pulled on the door as per usual and it broke a small lug behind the front panel at the far left, which made the whole panel pull forwards a bit. My goodness - I have exactly the same problem with my Bosch dishwasher. ![]()
