How to turn off the dishwasher's beep

Many dishwasher owners, who have already evaluated their "home helpers," complain that their appliances emit an annoying beeping sound. Some are willing to put up with it. Others (who wash dishes at night) dream of getting rid of the annoying sound but don't know how. In this article, we'll discuss how to disable the beeping sound in dishwashers of various brands. Stay tuned.

Shutdown on a Bosch washing machine

Owners of Bosch dishwashers most often ask about disabling the beeps. The reason is simple: Bosch dishwashers are very popular, although owners of other brands are equally interested in this question, but more on that later. On many Bosch dishwasher models, the beep can be reduced or even turned off completely. Here's how to do it.

1. First, you need to hold down the second key from the right on the control panel.
2. Without releasing this button, turn on the dishwasher.
3. The pressed button should blink, let's wait for this moment.
4. The number 1, 2, or 3 should light up on the display. One means the signal is loud, two means it is quiet, and three (or zero) means the sound is off.

The desired value is set by pressing the button again, which we have been pressing from the very beginning.

That's the science. The method for removing sound may vary from machine to machine. Before you do anything, consult the instructions. That's the best way to go. If you don't have the printed instructions, find an electronic copy online.

Shutdown on Electrolux appliances

Bosch isn't the only company that makes dishwashers with a mute function. Many Electrolux "home helper" models also have a mute function, but it's done in a completely different way. First, turn on your Electrolux dishwasher. Then, activate the settings mode. How do you do this?

1. Pay attention to the display. If the P1 code is displayed, the machine is already in setup mode. If not, it needs to be turned on.
2. Press the “Reset” button and hold it until P1 appears on the display.
3. If P1 still does not appear, turn off the machine, then turn it on again and hold the “Reset” button.

Once you've activated the settings mode on your Electrolux washing machine, you can turn off the melody. Simultaneously press and hold two buttons on the control panel: one marked with a star and the other with a house with the letter "P" inside. Wait until three lights start flashing: two above the pressed buttons and one above the dial button. Release the held buttons and then press the button marked with the star. Look at the display. If the number 16 appears, the sound is on; if it shows 06, the sound is off.

To switch to 16 or 06, press the button marked with a star. To confirm the setting, turn off the dishwasher. After turning it back on, the final melody that usually plays at the end of the wash cycle will disappear.

We turn it off on other equipment

Some other dishwashers also have a sound deactivation option. It's not always possible to remove it completely, but even if it's made quieter, it's already good. For example, onHansa ZIM 415H dishwasher The sound isn't completely eliminated, but it can be made significantly quieter. Here's how:

• turn on the dishwasher;
• press simultaneously buttons 1 and 2, which are located to the left of the on/off button;
• We wait until the machine beeps sharply and all the indicators flash;
• as soon as this happens, you need to turn off the machine;
• After turning it on again, the machine will sound much quieter.

The sound can also be turned off on several models of washing machines from AEG, Kuppersberg, Kandy, and others. To make sure your "home assistant" can also turn off the sound, check the instructions.

So, if you want to know how to turn off your dishwasher's sound, first check your appliance's manual. If there's no manual or you're having trouble understanding it, read our article, where we've provided specific examples. Good luck!
