What Makes Bosch Dishwasher Repairs Different
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)
Common Bosch Dishwasher Problems
- 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
- 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
Reading a Bosch Dishwasher Error Code

| E14 | Flow meter fault or a problem with the water fill system. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes |
| E17 | Water inflow problem; check that the inlet hose is not kinked or damaged. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes |

- Whether the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal or straight to the sink drain
