Cycle Completion Signal The cycle completion signal alerts you when a cycle completes and the dishwasher has washed and dried the dishes. You can choose to disable the tone or adjust the volume. NOTE: The unit must be powered OFF before activating. To activate:

• Press and hold the right "Cancel Reset" button then press and hold the ON/OFF button.

• When the light on the "Cancel Reset" button you are pressing illuminates and the tone goes off, release both buttons.

• Press the far right "Cancel Reset" button until you achieve the desired volume or until there is no tone (to turn off).

• Press the ON/OFF button. The setting is now saved.

You're welcome :)

It's the oldest trope since BBS's, if you want free expert information how to do something, just go on any forum and say it wrong, and 20 neckbeards will step all over each other to provide the most correct most efficient most elegant directions.

I'm guilty myself. It's a fine tradition I have no problem with. ;)

I see nothing wrong with this. Most people are hardwired to be helpful to others, especially when no one else is judging.

[iopq]

If you ask a question usually few, if any, people attempt to help. When you outright say something wrong, everyone will be telling you the exact solution to your problem

[Brian_K_White]

This.

Some people do it out of generosity, but for some it's a special subset of passive-aggression, a way to say you're wrong and I'm better, but indirectly and deniably.

I'm pretty sure I do it for both reasons at different times and in different cases.

Even if it didn't have the option, all you'd have to do is open up the front panel and rip the beeper off the board. That's what I do to my microwaves that can't be muted.

Once upon a time I earned some major brownie points with a husband and wife by disassembling their child's electronic toy, inserting a piece of kleenex between the speaker and the grill, and reassembling it, now 30dB quieter.

Initially they suggested I just cut the wire but I figured I could do something a little easier to reverse.

[Wowfunhappy]

When I was little we just put some scotch over the speaker, no disassembly required!

[hinkley]

Scotch tape gets gross after a year. But then I don’t recall how long the toy lasted so maybe I was showing off my pocket knife.

Many home appliances have hidden codes you can use to adjust settings like this, including making them silent. They usually come up if you search for “Sabbath Mode”.

No idea why I didn't think to look into this more - but my bosch dishwasher has been driving me crazy since I moved into my current house. Thank you! I can now start a load of dishes right before bed without knowing I'll be incorporating a periodic beeping from the kitchen in my dreams!

For other bosch owners out there - older models label the button as cancel/drain. This article was helpful for my model https://www.fixya.com/support/t24500578-want_disable_beep_wh...

Back on topic - if this thing could wash a load in under an hour that would be amazing. No idea what the author of the article is talking about...

Out of curiosity, how do you know the make/model of goblinux's dishwasher?

[Angostura]

It's basically the same for all Bosch models

[jaclaz]

I see, I thought there were tens of different models with different features/interfaces/settings/whatever.

At least then Bosch is coherent.

[soco]

I'm sure you are sarcastic here, because I have 4 (four) Bosch kitchen devices which might look similar (a rotating button with little displays left and right) but function WILDLY different - emphasis mine. On one the rotating button can be pushed, the displays are touch sensitive except on one, on one two increment by the touch displays not by rotating, on one the settings are reached by long pressing the info area, menus are a jungle different every time and can be reached by touch controls OR rotating the button... No, Bosch has zero coherence (just in design ok). And don't start me on the sound signals like the stove complaining it got a drop of water on its sensitive touch buttons placed right next to the pot. I'm sorry but I'm 110% behind the OC, no Bosch decision maker EVER used those appliances.

>I'm sure you are sarcastic here, because ...

Actually I was mostly surprised by the parent comment, I thought that even in the subset of just dishwashers they had at least three different sets of controls/menus/settings.

>I'm sorry but I'm 110% behind the OC, no Bosch decision maker EVER used those appliances.

Well, I would extend that to most other manufacturers, I believe each one needs to show "something new" at the annual fair, and since - after all - there is not much to invent anymore in a dishwasher or a microwave, they add (senseless) features in the UI that only - say - 1% of users will ever use, inconveniencing the 99% of them.

>And don't start me on the sound signals like the stove complaining it got a drop of water on its sensitive touch buttons placed right next to the pot.

I believe this is actually a safety feature: When a pot boils over and spreads water on the touch panel, both the pot and the touch panel may be too hot to touch, leaving no way to turn off the stove. So, to be on the safe side, the stove turns off and beeps.

[soco]

Good point! For me the failure was placing the buttons on the plate itself.

[imp0cat]

Well, we have two Bosch machines (a dishwasher and a washing machine) from the same year and series and the controls are very similar.

[jaclaz]

Same year and series, makes sense.

But I would like a confirmation that a different series/different year still are similar, which is was I doubt.
