Dishwasher issue, smell of burning rubber. Model # WDF320PADW3 Serial # F63820381 Does anyone know if this is belt driven ? Someone told me that if it is then maybe that needs replacing ? It had been working fine and the other day when I put the dishwasher on it smelled like rubber burning. I checked filter, it was clean. I am not in a position to be able to pull this out to look at it. I would need help. Is this model belt driven ?

Hi,

No, its not belt driven. That is odd about the burnt rubber smell, check to see if something rubber fell on the heating element inside the tub.

How did this end? I have same issue on brand new Bosch dishwasher

It turned out to be the power plug. The plastic had melted and fused everything together. I never would have found it by looking but as soon as the technician pulled it out, there is was. New plug, all fixed. Thank you so much.
