Bosch Dishwasher Lines and Features
What a Bosch Dishwasher Technician Deals With
Installation calls for a high loop in the drain hose so debris cannot flush back into the dishwasher, and a missing high loop is one listed cause of a not-draining code. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Owner's Manual (SHV78B73UC)

What Bosch Says to Check First
