What a Bosch Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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 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 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
