How to Fix Bosch Dishwasher Error HYGIENE/HYGIENE PLUS SYMBOL

Error Code: HYGIENE/HYGIENE PLUS SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy

Problem: A hotter final rinse is held for longer for a higher anti-bacterial performance.

How to Fix HYGIENE/HYGIENE PLUS SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Identify the ‘Hygiene’ or ‘Hygiene Plus’ symbol on the dishwasher’s display. This is an indicator for a selected feature, not an error.
2. Understand that this setting provides a higher temperature final rinse for an increased anti-bacterial effect.
3. This option is particularly useful for sanitizing items like baby bottles, canning jars, or cutting boards.
4. If you do not need this level of sanitation for your current load, you can deactivate the feature by pressing the corresponding ‘Hygiene’ or ‘Hygiene Plus’ button.
5. If the cycle has already started, it is best to let it complete.
6. For future washes, simply avoid selecting this option unless you specifically require a sanitizing rinse.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
