Maintain the dishwasher
Filter design varies widely. The owner's manual determines whether it is self-cleaning and how often it should be removed.
Recommended timingCheck every 1–3 months
What to do
- Inspect and clean the filter on the model's schedule; Bosch recommends every few months for its removable filters.
- Check spray-arm holes for debris and make sure the arms rotate freely.
- Wipe door seals and the lower door edge, then run the manufacturer-approved cleaning or descaling cycle when needed.
- Quarterly, look under the sink and at the toe-kick for hose, valve or drain leakage.
