Bosch Dishwasher Error TIMELIGHT

How to Fix TIMELIGHT Error (Step-by-Step) Observe the time and status information projected onto the floor in front of your fully integrated dishwasher. Understand that this feature, called TimeLight, is a normal part of the dishwasher’s operation and not an error. The projection provides useful information that is otherwise hidden, such as the remaining time in the wash cycle, the current cycle stage (e.g., washing, rinsing, drying), or other status symbols. There is no action required to turn this feature on or off; it operates automatically whenever a wash cycle is running. The projection will disappear from the floor once the cycle is completely finished and the dishwasher is ready to be unloaded. This feature is only present on specific high-end, fully-integrated Bosch models. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

What to Check Next on This Bosch Dishwasher Bosch Dishwasher Error TIMELIGHT: Use the code, light, or symbol as the starting clue, then confirm what the dishwasher actually does before ordering parts. 1. Turn power off before opening panels, reaching into the sump, touching wiring, or checking the pump, heater, valve, sensor, latch, or control area. 2. Confirm whether the display is a normal cycle/status symbol or a recurring fault that interrupts filling, washing, draining, drying, locking, or control response. 3. Start with the wash path: filter, sump debris, spray-arm movement, circulation-pump sound, wiring, and control output. 4. Clean the filter and sump, check spray-arm movement, verify water supply, inspect the drain hose and sink connection, and correct any visible blockage before replacing parts. 5. Run a short test cycle and watch where it fails; the exact stage matters more than the displayed word or symbol by itself. 6. Replace a part only after the same symptom repeats and the model-specific checks point to that part category. Match any replacement to the complete Bosch model number on the door tag. If the issue returns after these checks, match replacement parts to the complete Bosch dishwasher model number from the door tag. The same display clue can point to different components depending on the exact model and when the failure appears. Still Not Working? If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure. Browse all Bosch error codes: Bosch Error Codes
