How Bosch Dishwashers Are Built

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)

Bosch Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks

  • Dishwasher not filling. Bosch says to check the water supply first, noting that the inlet valve, float or door switch can also keep the unit from drawing water. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Troubleshooting
  • 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

  • Detergent left in the dispenser after the cycle

What Gets Fixed on a Waukegan Dishwasher Call

Door gasket and tub sealsLeaks under the door usually come from a hardened or torn gasket, a cracked tub, a loose hose clamp or a pump seal. A technician removes the kick panel to see where the water starts.
Drain hose and disposal connectionThe drain hose usually runs in a high loop under the counter or to an air gap, then into the disposal or sink drain. A kink, a clog or a new disposal with its knockout plug still in place stops the water.

Bosch Dishwasher Repair FAQs: Waukegan, IL

Why are my dishes still wet?
Many newer dishwashers dry by condensation and need rinse aid to dry well, especially plastics. If dishes stay soaked on a model that uses a heating element or fan, the element, thermostat or fan may have failed.
Why does my dishwasher smell?
Food trapped in the filter and sump is the usual source, along with a drain hose that lets water back in. Clean the filter, check that the drain hose has a high loop or air gap, and run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner.
Why are my dishes still dirty after a cycle?
The usual causes are a clogged filter, blocked spray arm holes, water that is not hot enough when the cycle starts, the wrong amount of detergent, or loading that blocks the spray. If those are fine, a technician checks the inlet valve, the wash pump and the heating parts.
