How to Fix Bosch Dishwasher Error DELAY START SYMBOL

Error Code: DELAY START SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Allows the user to set a delayed start time for a wash cycle.

How to Fix DELAY START SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Recognize that the ‘Delay Start’ symbol (often a clock icon) means a wash cycle has been programmed to start at a later time. This is a feature, not an error.
2. The display will typically show the number of hours remaining until the cycle begins.
3. If you wish to cancel the delay and start the wash immediately, you will need to reset the function.
4. Press and hold the ‘Start’ button on your dishwasher for about 3 to 5 seconds.
5. This action should cancel the ‘Delay Start’ setting and reset the dishwasher. The ‘Delay Start’ symbol should disappear from the display.
6. You can now select your desired wash cycle and press ‘Start’ again to begin the cleaning process right away.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
