The SHE3ARF6UC is the black Ascenta-era machine, 50 dBA across 14 place settings. On this platform Bosch used an indicator-light control strip rather than a numeric display, so the fault signalling is a pattern of flashing lights instead of an E-code. It is not a cruder system, just an older one – the machine still has a service test mode a technician can put it into, and it still reports the same underlying faults. It simply does not spell them out on the door for you.
