What Makes Bosch Dishwasher Repairs Different
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)
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
Common Bosch Dishwasher Problems
- 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
- 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
What Bosch Dishwasher Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| E24 | Drain problem; check the drain pump cover, a kinked drain hose, and a clogged air gap or drain hose. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes |
| E14 | Flow meter fault or a problem with the water fill system. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes |
| E25 | Drain pump or pump cover blocked; remove and clean the pump cover and check the drain hose. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes |
