Don't ever run appliances while you're not home or asleep!

Aqua Stop

Also protects against a busted hose

On the Miele version anyway, you have a double solenoid that screws directly onto the tap. If Grit blocks 1 solenoid open the other should still stop the water flow.

Likewise if the inlet hose bursts, the water should run into the sump of the dishwasher and trigger the float, or in a total failure, the machine should time out and stop filling after after a preset time.

The Bosch must have an unusual setup, because if the water level got that high in the Miele, that the water was running out around the door seal, there would be way to much water in there in the first place. The Miele detects an abnormal overfill (IE a bowl tipping over) and will cancel the wash in case it is a leak. The Bosch system mustnt be as advanced.

Ding Dong! Time's up! It is November 8. Have those of us in the USA clened out our Self-Cleaning Ovens for Thanksgiving?

Overflowing Bosch

That happened to me once on my grandma's Siemens: I opened the door mid-cycle when it already heated up to +140°F. The sudden increase in pressure inside the tub caused the water to overflow after the cycle resumed.

I remember our AEG always did a quick drain whenever it was opened after the heater engaged. Our new Siemens either pauses for a few seconds if a cycle has been interrupted or it'll do a quick drain, too. I think if the machine should overfill, some sort of pressure switch should cause the machine to drain - that's what happened on our AEG when I manually tried filling in more water.
