Bosch Dishwasher Lines and Features
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)
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)
