What Bosch Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not draining. Bosch says clogged food debris in the filter or drain pump is the most common cause, so clean the filter first and then remove the pump cover to clear debris. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Not Draining
- Dishwasher odor. Bosch blames food particles trapped in the filter, so wash the filter, clear the spray arms, and run a cleaner and descaler periodically. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Smells
