A Bosch dishwasher shares most of its basic parts with other dishwashers, but its filter design, drying system, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions Bosch and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
Dishwasher Repairs is independent and not affiliated with Bosch. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair Bosch dishwashers and other brands.

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)
