Bosch 100 Series built-in dishwasher: Complete the wash while you chat with guests thanks to 46 dBA quiet operation and a large capacity that accommodates up to 14 place settings. Five wash cycles offer versatile cleaning options.
We have this new dishwasher purchased several months ago. We are having problems. We are Elite Plus rewards status. We called the Arden store. We don't get repair assistance since we didn't purchase a Geek Squad protection plan. We were told to call Bosch warranty since it's still fully covered under warranty. More about that call later.
This new "high end" dishwasher continues to leave unspent detergent in the dispenser and oozing down the inside front door and pooled in the floor of the dishwasher BUT more important, dishes are left dirty. We were told you shouldn't rinse anything before putting in the washer. Tried that. Then we tried rinsing prior to dishwashing which does help but still left with dirty dishes.
We were told to have the water pressure checked since maybe a hose is kinked, maybe an obstruction in the water supply, maybe even your pressure reducing value in the house needs replacing. Therefore, we called a licensed plumber who came last week and said the water pressure is excellent. No hoses kinked, nothing restricted.
Then I called Bosch warranty department who provided a local appliance repairman. His recommendation: just throw that tablet (or powder or liquid or gel) down in the bottom of the dishwasher since the Bosch dispenser doesn't work well (in his opinion based on his recent number of repair calls) since the dispenser is hidden from the water action by the top drawer handle when closed.
Its sounds like a design flaw. It's definitely not working as-is. Next step: request Bosch to send a representative to review my $699.99 dishwasher.
