Bosch Dishwasher Lines and Features
How Bosch Dishwashers Are Built
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 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
Reading a Bosch Dishwasher Error Code
