[Solved] Bosch SMV68TX04E Dishwasher: Blurred Floor Display Issue - Possible Solutions & Alternatives

Best answers

Why is the Bosch dishwasher floor display blurred or overexposed, and can it be fixed without replacing the whole module?

The thread points to a damaged optical/display element rather than dirt, so cleaning the lens or mirror usually does not solve it [#18419973][#19113036] In one case, replacing the projector did nothing, but replacing the mirror fixed the blurry floor image; the old mirror was scratched [#19543858] Another user opened the module and found the liquid-crystal display layer damaged, concluding that the repair is impossible without a new liquid-crystal element or a complete new module [#19660243][#19190159] If you do replace it, the job can be done without removing the dishwasher from the built-in: remove the inner door front panel and the plinth, then swap the module; one user said the service replacement took only about 10–15 minutes [#18905547][#19543858]

    Your post doesn't add anything positive, except that you have grown tremendously. Out of frustration, I recommend enrolling in a beginner's boxing course.

    Emptiness pours out of your mouth, if you have a problem, write to the manufacturer, maybe he will listen to you.
    When you buy any good that serves humanity, you should first realize if you can afford it in the future
    for its maintenance, calculating, for example, the costs of depreciation or repair.
    Maybe you haven't grown up to the new times and some things are too much for you.

    If the displayed data regarding e.g. the lack of salt are needed like a hole in the bridge, I suppose that you recommend the use of a grater for washing because it is equipment without unnecessary gimmicks and exceptionally ecological.

    No, I recommend a built-in dishwasher with a front panel or a top panel, where the lack of salt is signaled by an appropriate message, most often in the form of a glowing LED diode.
