I need to completely drain a Bosch Silence Plus dishwasher that will be stored in freezing temperatures. How can I do this?

In reply to Mark. Biggest issue with the Bosch appliances is the cheap thin plastic they use for their housing. The entire front handle area has cracked away on a 3 year old unit. The Dishwasher works great but the housing is so thin. The clothes washers are the same. Ours, and two other I know of, have all of the areas around the screws that hold the top in place completely cracked. The screws don't even have any pressure on them! Really poor grade of materials used in the shell of the appliance.

I found the replacement procedure for the relay problem described by Mark above. I searched for “bosch control board” and there it was, a complete howto. I fixed mine. It is very easy. thank you.

Some problems can occur in any brand of dishwashers including Bosch dishwashers. To prevent this, we all need to take a recommended usage process that could avoid needing a service man to come visit our house.

One major problem with Bosch dishawashers is they use an underrated relay I their timer board. The problem usually show up when the DW never seems to finish it’s cycle. This that have a count down display will countdown to close to, or to, 1 minute, and just stay there trying to finish.
When you open up the control, you may or may not find a burned place on the solder side of the circuit board. The burned place is a secondary indication of the relay failure. Many relays I have replaced have failed, but there was no indication of the relay being bad.
Replacing the control with a new one just buys you the same problem again.
I replace the relay with a more robust design, and beef up the circuit board for the high current handling lands that that relay handles the current for. All is done using industry accepted practices, and the board should never be a problem to you again. Even if your control is currently working properly, it will fail at some point in the future due to this design flaw.
