The full checklist
Read the sequence before starting. Follow each step only when its preparation and branch conditions are met.
Record where water is visible and whether the last cycle completed. Do not infer a faulty pump or a drain-volume limit from water alone.
Source: Bosch SHPM65Z*** Operating instructions · pp. 8, 36, 38–40, 43, 46For a safe unfinished cycle, use the separate cycle-reset task: hold Start about 3 seconds to 0:01, close the door as required for top controls, allow about 1 minute for draining and switch off. Do not repeat if water escapes.

When to stop
- Stop using the dishwasher for smoke, a burning smell, damaged wiring, an active leak or water near electrical equipment. Isolate power and water only from a safe, dry, accessible location; otherwise keep clear and request qualified help.
- Do not remove the pump cover, reach into the pump, open electrical panels, bypass the door interlock or move the installed dishwasher. Refer plumbing connections, installation and repairs to qualified service.
- Stop if a part is cracked, jammed, sharp, insecure or different from the matching manual. Do not force a fitting or touch hot water. Never mix cleaning products.
Every check and possible next step
Start at “Was the last cycle definitely completed?”. Choose only what you observed. An unobserved condition is its own answer.
Was the last cycle definitely completed?
Was the last cycle definitely completed?
A stopped wash needs to be separated from a completed wash before drawing a drainage conclusion.
Steps for this check: 1.
- Yes, it finished
Continue to Is the visible filter system clean, intact and locked?. - No, it was interrupted
Continue to Did one normal reset drain the unfinished cycle?. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.

Did one normal reset drain the unfinished cycle?
Did one normal reset drain the unfinished cycle?
Use the reset task only with a safe appliance and dry surrounding area.
Steps for this check: 2.
- The cycle ended and the standing water cleared
Observed result recorded — You recorded that the standing-water symptom cleared after an observed cycle or reset. This is your observation, not independent confirmation of the appliance condition. - Standing water remains after the reset
Continue to Is the visible filter system clean, intact and locked?. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
Observation still needed — This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.

Is the visible filter system clean, intact and locked?
Is the visible filter system clean, intact and locked?
Cool and isolate before touching it. No pump-cover access is part of this task.
Steps for this check: 3.
- The filters are clean and locked
Continue to Is the accessible drain route free of an obvious kink or sink backup?. - Food, damage or incorrect seating needs attention
Observation and next step recorded — The filter or visible drain-route condition is an actionable clue. Complete the filter task or ask an installer/plumber to assess the drainage route before another comparison; no pump failure is inferred. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely

Is the accessible drain route free of an obvious kink or sink backup?
Is the accessible drain route free of an obvious kink or sink backup?
An inaccessible section remains unknown; never pull the appliance out to inspect it.
Steps for this check: 4.
- The visible route has no obvious restriction
Continue to Does water still remain after a completed cycle and the visible checks?. - A visible kink or household drain backup is present
Observation and next step recorded — The filter or visible drain-route condition is an actionable clue. Complete the filter task or ask an installer/plumber to assess the drainage route before another comparison; no pump failure is inferred. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely

Does water still remain after a completed cycle and the visible checks?
Does water still remain after a completed cycle and the visible checks?
Record the completion state and any code for service; do not open the pump.
Steps for this check: 5.
- The water has cleared and no recurrence was observed
Observed result recorded — You recorded that the standing-water symptom cleared after an observed cycle or reset. This is your observation, not independent confirmation of the appliance condition. - The standing-water symptom remains
Pause and request qualified help — The observed condition needs qualified help. Keep the appliance out of use when a safety concern remains. Share the exact model, displayed message and your before/after observations; do not open panels, bypass a lock or access the pump. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely
