How Bosch Dishwashers Are Built
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
A safety switch in the base detects water that has leaked into the bottom of the unit and activates leakage protection, shown as code E15. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes
Bosch Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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

What Salem Lakes Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Salem Lakes 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.
