How To Turn Off Bosch Dishwasher Beep: A Simple, Quiet Fix

If the happy little beep at the end of your wash sounds more like a foghorn in your kitchen, you’re in the right place. I’ve set up, fixed, and quieted more Bosch machines than I can count, and yes, I know exactly how to turn off Bosch dishwasher beep without breaking a sweat. The short version: you open the door, enter settings, find the sound menu, and set the end-of-cycle signal to 0. I’ll walk you through clear steps for every common model, plus app control, common mistakes, and pro tips that save time and sanity. Stick with me, and your kitchen will go from beep-beep to bliss.

Quick Answer: Turn Off The Bosch Beep In 30 Seconds

Try this universal method first. It works on many 300/500/800 Series models.

• Open the door. Power the dishwasher on.
• Press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds to enter settings. Some models use the Settings or Wrench icon instead.
• Use the left/right arrows or the cycle buttons to find Signal or End Of Program.
• Set the volume to 0. You may see 0–4 or b:00 to b:04. Choose 0 or b:00.
• Press Start to save. Close the door.

If you do not see Signal or volume, skip down to the model-specific section.

Model-Specific Ways To Turn Off The Beep

Bosch has many control panels. The exact steps vary. Use the group below that matches your control layout.

• Older buttons with small screen (many Series 100/300)

  • Open the door and power on.
  • Hold the Start button for 3 seconds to enter settings.
  • Tap the right arrow until you see b:00 to b:04 or a speaker icon.
  • Set to b:00. Press Start to save.

• Touch control with text labels (many Series 500/800)

  • Open the door. Power on.
  • Press Settings or the Wrench icon.
  • Scroll to Sounds, Signal, or End Of Cycle.
  • Set Volume to Off or 0.
  • Confirm to save.

• Hidden top controls with no screen

  • Open door. Power on.
  • Press and hold the two outer cycle buttons for 3 seconds. This opens the settings menu on many models.
  • Use the same two buttons to step through options until you reach Signal.
  • Set to 0. Press Start to save.

• Home Connect app (Wi‑Fi models)

  • Open the Home Connect app.
  • Tap your dishwasher. Go to Settings.
  • Tap Appliance Settings or Sounds.
  • Set End Of Program Signal to Off or 0.
  • Sync with the dishwasher.

• SilencePlus label models

  • Follow the “Older buttons” steps above.
  • Look for the b:00 code. Set it to 0.

If these steps do not match your panel, check the quick-start card or the user manual for your exact model number (inside the door). Search for “end of program signal” or “acoustic signal.”

What The Beeps Mean And What You Should Not Mute

Not all beeps are the same. Some are helpful. Some are loud for no reason.

• Normal end-of-cycle beep

  • This is the one we mute. It’s a completion beep.

• Door-ajar beep

  • If the door is not latched, you may hear a warning. Fix the latch. Do not mute errors.

• Error or fault beep

  • Repeating beeps with error codes mean trouble. Examples: water not draining, leak detection, or overfill.
  • Check the display for codes like E15, E24, or a flashing light. Fix the cause first.

• Rinse aid or salt reminder

  • Some models beep when rinse aid is low. Refill and the beep stops, or turn off that reminder in settings.

If beeps signal a fault, do not silence the alert forever. Fix the issue. Then decide if you want the end-of-cycle beep off.

Troubleshooting: When The Beep Won’t Go Away

If muting fails, try these fixes I use on service calls.

• Save did not apply

  • Press Start (or OK) to save the setting. If you just close the door, some models do not save.

• Child lock is on

  • Look for a key icon. Hold the lock button for 3 seconds to unlock. Then change the setting.

• Power-cycle the control

  • Turn the machine off. Wait 60 seconds. Turn it back on. Re-check the sound setting.

• Factory reset the control

  • With the door open and power on, hold Start for 3–5 seconds until it resets. Then set the signal volume to 0 again.

• Firmware update for Wi‑Fi models

  • Open the Home Connect app. Apply updates. Then re-check Sounds.

• Still beeping with an error code

  • Fix the fault. Check the filter, drain hose, and water supply. Clear any standing water. Only then mute the end-of-cycle beep.

Safety, Warranty, And Smart Choices

Muting a simple end signal is safe. But never ignore warning beeps tied to leaks, drain faults, or overfill.

• When you should not mute

  • Active leaks or E15. The safety float may be triggered.
  • Repeated drain errors like E24 or E25.
  • Overheating or sensor faults.

• Warranty and service

  • Adjusting sound settings does not void warranty.
  • If errors persist, record the code and call support with your model and serial number.

• Good habits

  • Use rinse aid for better drying so you won’t rush to open the door.
  • Run regular cleaning cycles to avoid fault beeps.

My Hands-On Tips, Real Mistakes, And Easy Wins

I’ve helped many folks who pressed every button except the one that mattered. Learn from our collective bloopers.

• Do not rush the hold time

  • Hold Start or Settings for a full 3 seconds. Count “one-Mississippi” if needed.

• Find the b:00 code

  • On many panels, b:00 means the signal is off. If you see b:03, it will still beep. Keep going down.

• Use the app if the panel is confusing

  • On Wi‑Fi models, the Home Connect app is faster. Set it once and forget it.

• Save the setting before you close the door

  • Press Start or OK. Then close.

• Keep a photo of your final settings

  • If the dishwasher loses power, you can restore your preferred setup in seconds.

Maintenance For A Quieter Kitchen

A clean, healthy dishwasher is quieter and less needy.

• Clean the filter monthly. Food clogs can cause weird cycles and alert tones.
• Check the spray arms for blockages. Clear small bits from the holes.
• Level the unit. A level dishwasher runs smoother and rattles less.
• Use the Extra Dry or Auto Open features if you want dry dishes without opening at the beep.
• Choose a quiet cycle. Eco or Auto often hums along with less drama.
