Common Bosch Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not drying. Bosch recommends leaving space between items so water drains off, adding rinse aid, and using the Sanitize or Extra Dry option if the model has one. Source: Bosch - Dishes Wet After Cycle
- Dishwasher not cleaning. Bosch points first to cleaning the filter, then checking loading so tall items do not block the spray arms, adding rinse aid, and clearing clogged spray arm holes. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes

What McLean Owners Should Know
Fairfax Water, which supplies McLean, reports hardness of 5-10 grains per gallon (about 84-170 mg/L), moderately hard to hard; varies by location and rainfall. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.

Virginia's Board for Contractors has no appliance repair license classification, but its gas fitting contracting specialty covers installing, repairing or removing gas piping and appliances attached to real property. Source: 18VAC50-22-30, Definitions of specialty services
In Virginia, you can check a license with the DPOR License Lookup or report a problem to the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Consumer Protection Section.
