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)
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 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
