my bosch 500 series dishwasher just beeps three times and won’t start, the display is blank except for a clock. what gives?

— asked by Morgan

DIAGNOSIS The dishwasher is in Child Lock mode. The three-beep alert confirms the control panel is locked. The default display shows only the clock when locked.

FIX Press and hold the Start button for approximately 3 seconds. You will hear a single confirmation beep. The lock icon on the display will disappear. The control panel is now active.

IF THAT DIDN'T WORK A power interruption can cause a control reset. Hold the Start button for 10 seconds to force a hard reset. Unplug the dishwasher for 2 minutes, then restore power. This clears any temporary control board errors.

HEADS UP Child Lock engages automatically after every cycle on some models. Check your settings under the 'Options' menu to disable auto-lock if this is a recurring issue.
