Bosch Dishwasher Lines and Features
What a Bosch Dishwasher Technician Deals With
The filter is a manually cleaned multi-stage assembly (coarse, fine and micro filter) at the bottom of the tub, and a blocked filter can trigger an error code. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Owner's Manual (SHV78B73UC)
Bosch dishwashers dry by condensation: a hot final rinse warms the dishes and moisture condenses on the cooler stainless steel tub walls instead of being baked off by a bottom heating element. Source: Bosch - Tips to Maximize Drying
What Bosch Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not drying. Bosch recommends leaving space between items so water drains off, adding rinse aid, and using the Sanitize or Extra Dry option if the model has one. Source: Bosch - Dishes Wet After Cycle
- 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
