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 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 not filling. Bosch says to check the water supply first, noting that the inlet valve, float or door switch can also keep the unit from drawing water. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Troubleshooting
