Bosch Dishwasher Lines and Features
What a Bosch Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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
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 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 starting. Bosch says to confirm the door is fully latched, turn off the child lock and power-cycle the unit, or if there is no power check the cord, outlet and breaker. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Troubleshooting
