What Makes Bosch Dishwasher Repairs Different
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)
Models with zeolite drying store heat and moisture in a mineral chamber and release warm dry air back into the tub, and dishware blocking the zeolite intake can stop the cycle with a code. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Owner's Manual (SHV78B73UC)
What Bosch Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
