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)
Installation calls for a high loop in the drain hose so debris cannot flush back into the dishwasher, and a missing high loop is one listed cause of a not-draining 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 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

Dishwasher Notes for Portage, WI
Most dishwasher calls in Portage come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
