Error Code: TIMELIGHT Difficulty: Easy
Problem: A feature on fully integrated models that projects the remaining cycle time and status onto the floor.
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.
