The missing Rinse button is a cycle-access question. The SHP65CM5N manual routes saved Favorite combinations through Home Connect, and its quick guide identifies Rinse among the available cycles.
Models covered
SHP65CM5N with the full E-Nr /suffix and control panel matched to the cited manual revision; similar model names alone do not establish applicability.
Stop and isolate power before permitted user maintenance, and let water cool. Watch for sharp debris. Do not reach blindly into a sump, open electrical panels or use drain-opening chemicals. Stay clear of water near electrical equipment.
Compare the behavior
Match the documented control, cycle or feature before interpreting the result. The comparison below keeps normal model behavior separate from an unresolved fault.
| Observed state | Interpretation / next step |
|---|---|
| No Rinse key | Check available app cycles and Favorite assignment. |
| Favorite starts another program | Review its saved combination. |
| Rinse unavailable in app | Confirm exact E-Nr with Bosch. |
Model-specific checks
Find and save the missing Rinse cycle
A Rinse cycle and a rinse-aid indicator solve different problems. The cycle is a brief wash-stage program; the indicator concerns a dispenser refill. Photograph the panel before looking for instructions: generic Bosch guides often show a dedicated Rinse button that this panel does not have. Open Home Connect, select this dishwasher and inspect its available cycles and Favorite assignment. Choose Rinse if offered for the registered appliance, then save the selection as the Favorite following the app. The owner manual describes Favorite as a stored cycle-and-option combination; it does not justify entering an undocumented button sequence to unlock extra cycles.
Check the saved result
Return to the appliance and choose Favorite. Confirm the app identifies the intended cycle before starting. If Favorite instead calls a full cleaning cycle, inspect the stored assignment rather than assuming the Rinse program was removed. Availability can differ with the registered revision and app software.
If the app does not offer Rinse
Record the full E-Nr, app version and cycle list and ask Bosch to confirm availability for that revision. A retail feature list is not a reason to force a menu option that your registered appliance does not expose. Rinse is not a substitute for a complete cleaning program.
What to record next
Finding the Rinse cycle, saving it to Favorite and completing a wash are separate actions. If the saved program is available but washing still fails, record that behavior separately.
When to stop and get help
Only carry out maintenance permitted in your model’s manual. For service, note the full model number and suffix, displayed code, selected cycle and what happened during the checks. Leave internal wiring, gas components, pumps and safety devices to a qualified professional. A symptom alone does not identify a failed part.
