How Bosch Dishwashers Are Built
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 leaking. When the leak-protection code appears, water has reached the base safety switch, so Bosch says to shut off the water supply before seeking service. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes
- Dishwasher not cleaning. Bosch points first to cleaning the filter, then checking loading so tall items do not block the spray arms, adding rinse aid, and clearing clogged spray arm holes. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes
