What Makes Bosch Dishwasher Repairs Different

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
