Your Bosch Dishwasher UNLOCKED: Features, Racks, Cycles & More! | Bosch Home USA

When i add rinse aid it just pours out of the bottom onto the door. Why would that be?

Make sure that filter is back in properly

Is there any way to use the Wi-Fi feature just in house and not send any feedback to Bosch (and whoever else) via the app? I am appalled at just how much personal information is required and consequently being collected to run the dw via the app. Do I really need to volunteer to receive marketing from Bosch just so I can run the app? I didn’t realize I can’t use some of the dw features unless I’m connected via the app. I deleted the app after read the user agreement and found it would invade my privacy. I feel ripped off paying for a model with Wi-Fi I’m unwilling to use. (If you don’t give the customer a choice you need to warn them of the liberal user agreement BEFORE they buy the dw ..😊so they can make an informed decision).
Please do not tell me it’s for customer convenience to “better serve us”.
Please do tell me Bosch was thoughtful enough to let their customers use Wi-Fi without invading their privacy.

Terrible !! if you open during the wash , God should help you returning it back to work , error after error , took 2 hours , didn't work , this is just a piece of junk

🤦🏻‍♂️ Let me guess... The majority of comments here are (most) probably coming from the US, right?

I’m here after downloading the app to see if this video had any helpful pointers. Yes this intro to the racks was a bit helpful. I’d like to see a troubleshooting video. It would have been helpful 11:00pm last night when I couldn’t figure out why my 2 month old dishwasher would not start. The red light on the floor just kept blinking. I tried resetting the dishwasher. Turning the breaker off as suggested somewhere I think in the Bosch troubleshooting section. It turns out the handle on a mug I loaded in the middle rack was sticking out in the back of the dishwasher. Even though the door latch clicked closed, apparently the dw door latch signaled that it was not closed properly I guess?? after turning the mug so the handle was facing toward the middle a bit solved the puzzle. I had to search the internet for the answer to this mystery. Frustrating.

My Bosch dishwasher (brand new and expensive!) leaves my glasses stinking like pond water/wet dog/egg! I don’t even eat egg or fish. I have no cause for this smell. I will run repeat cycles, and my glasses still smell. WHYYYYYYYYYY

Bosch is getting worse. Never again.

TIP, to change wash cycle settings Press the Start button and hold 3 seconds. Its a Reset. Then press Start and wash cycle of choice. You have to do Reset or cannot switch.

Parents just bought the 500 series. Had me install it for them. What a piece of garbage! Thing will not turn on. There's power, and every button will light up. But not a damn thing happens when you try to start it. Really wish I knew what they had to special order in, and then spend another $100 in gas to go pick up, so I could have tried to talk them out of this POS appliance 😢

Great product, but why no cycle complete light? There's a white light on the door while the unit is washing. Couldn't this change to say, green, to show the dishes are clean?

Just got the 800. Why is the display turned off while the dishwasher is running?

Very challenging. I’m hitting the start button and the timer just goes up. Very frustrating

I need help! Love this dishwasher over the years, but I need to wash something that requires me to turn off the heat cycle. I have a SilencePlus 44dBA. What mode(s) do I use for both cycle and options?

there is a loud click when you close the door, and a slight scraping sound too. should opening and closing it be silent? should you only grasp the handle in the middle to open and close

This dishwasher is very hard to operate. I have tried different settings and still get wet dishes. Very counterintuitive and unclear instructions.

Thanks for showing clean the filter❤

I don't like how the blue stickers on the inside of the door don't come off. I peeled up a millimeter of one corner before I realized.

I have to 800 series, no
handle. Is the display board supposed to light up While it’s running to tell where you are in the cycle?

I'm trying to connect my used DW to power. The Dishwasher has a white wire , a black wire and a green w yellow stripe running along its length. Is the green w yellow stripe a ground or how do I connect to house white and black wires???

Very impressed with my Bosch 800 with water softener (We have very hard well water). So well designed! However, I have one fear. Do the water softener pellets that exchange the salt with calcium ever have to be replaced? If so, how do you do this? Another problem of my own making. I find myself rinsing with multiple (9 minute cycles) as I add dishes during the day. Then, at the end of the day run an "express" cycle, with extra shine on the full load of rinsed dishes. I use detergent "pods", either Finish or Cascade. I suspect that using this method leaves soap residue, as at the end of the express cycle if I run a 9 minute rinse cycle, the water appears a little soapy. Therefore, instead of using the pods, I am going to try using a smaller quantity of liquid gel in the dispenser, only up to the first line. (allowing me to modulate my soap quantity, which I cannot do if I use the pods.).

Mine came with two tablets Finish Quantum which washed the dishes perfectly. I bought Finish classic tablets by mistake and they are just awful...

Can I open the dishwasher during a cycle?

Unsolicited comment here…. There was a preexisting Bosch 800 Series installed int the home we purchased two years ago. It’s extremely quiet and thoroughly cleans. Highly recommended based on wwour experience.

Ugh I really wish you guys didnt change the pause function. my old dishwasher, when I opened it to add another piece to wash , I just closed it and it would start back up. Now I have to remember to click start each time. So annoying. You took a good feature and made it awful.

I love our Bosch dishwasher. We did have to read the manual but it is so incredibly versatile for all our different loads. Love it!!

I hate my Bosch 500 series dishwasher! Not user friendly! Doesn’t even have a on/off button which is referred to in the instructions! Impossible to use. Will probably request return and get a basic, user friendly machine! Don’t buy it!

Hey Bosch! You need to edit your user manual for the Bosch 800 series. When going to basic settings your manual states "Press SETUP 3 SEC. for 3 seconds." You need to edit this to "Press EXPRESS for 3 seconds." I've been pressing the SETUP button for 3 seconds and nothing was happening thinking that it's a separate button when it's actually the EXPRESS button that needs to be pressed for 3 seconds to enter the basic settings menu.

If you’ve downloaded the ap - does that mean you have to use the ap each time you use it? I’m not sure if it really is that helpful 😢

thank you for this video. The book that comes with the dishwasher is not helpful at all.

It's 2023, why is this video not in 4k? Makes me wonder what else might be dated with Bosch.

What do the flashing red lights indicate on the top of the door when the dishwasher isn't working?

Almost nothing in this video applies to my dishwasher. Why waste my time?

Our brand new Bosch dishwasher died one month after it was bought, it was used once a day, or every 2 days! At this moment it is taking 2 weeks for them to repair it, and it is still not repaired! After that I made a review of it on bosch--home web site and they deleted my negative review with some dumb excuses! At the same time they accepted positive review of their refrigerator (unfortunately we bought all home appliances from this company).

I purchased a Bosch 300 series and have used it 4 times. The clean indicator light comes on for a couple of minutes at the end of the cycle and then goes off. So unless you are in the room you don't see the indicator. I contacted Bosch by email and they said "if you open the door or manually turn off the appliance the indicator will go off"...that is what i expected but it does not work this way. I was told to do a factory reset (tried but it didn't work). I expected more from Bosch and would like to resolve this issue.

I have the 2023 bosch ... Are you kidding me that you have to connect the app to get half loads ultra dry cleaning features this is total garbage. I cannot believe I just spent this much money on this piece of ....

I wish I could return my 3 day old $1300 Series 800 because despite it allegedly having a circulation fan to dry the dishes off according to the marketing wank, it leaves anything not constructed from ceramic or stainless steel very wet. I was going to buy a Kenmore or a Maytag for around $650 but I was talked into it by the 'appliance expert' at Home Depot who said the 800 series is seconded only by the Bosch Benchmark series (which costs two and a half mortgage payments - $2600) for its ability to dry plastic, silicone, and UHMW items. However, Home Depot will not accept a dishwasher return after 48 hours. Since I only need to wash dishes once a day, at the end of the day, I have only ran it twice. The first time I just hit 'normal' and wet dishes was the result. The second time I hit the Crystal dry function and normal and wet dishes was the result. I just hope that tonight when I run it again on 'auto', crystal dry, and sanitise (as some threads online say to do for the best drying) it will actually dry my dishes. If not, I got screwed by the guy at Home Depot who sold me a dishwasher at twice the cost but without the ability to finish the job it was supposedly designed to do.

My Bosch is great, it is very, very worth the price paid! We bought ours during a low inventory period, our store only had the smallest model available. I plan to buy the largest one, store it for future use.

Once I learned how to use my Bosch dishwasher I learned to like it. However, Bosch really, really should pay attention to all of the comments on this page. I can relate to most of them. It shouldn’t be this difficult to understand this expensive dishwasher.

A paper Quick Start Guide should be included with the dishwasher that explains the buttons and how to adjust the racks. This could be accomplished on a single piece of paper and would have eliminated 90% of the complaints here.

I don’t want to date it I just want to clean the filter. 😂

I need help starting the diswasher--not how to load it!!!

I just bought a new 300 series. Thinking of purchasing a VarioDrawer will it work with the 300?

Once you select options and press start, you’ve 4 seconds to close the door otherwise the dishwasher will reset. This is a safety measure for kids, at least in the 800 model I have. Also, the APP is very convenient, not easy to setup, but once set, it saves time and effort to choose the settings.

My biggest issue is that if you open the dishwasher after starting it, maybe to add something else, when you close it, IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY RESUME but issues a long beeeeeep to tell you that YOU MADE AN ERROR. You have to hit Start again and close it within a few seconds and it will then resume. This long beeeeep also happens when the cycle is complete and you open the door to unload it and then close it - beeeeeeep. You have to manually turn it Off when you unload it.

The new Benchmark Series Dishwasher has something called VarioDrawer Pro. What is it? I can't find any info. Also, is there a way to turn off the laser light feature? I have dogs and they will destroy my floor trying to get to it.

Is there a written manual for operating the Boxch 300 series? I've just gotten mine, and the video really helped, but we don't always have good internet service and a manual would be so helpful.

That could be a fab dish washer but would not recommended those tablets you recommend for the dishwasher. Probably excellent foe everything but not glass.. Either use a soft tablet or don’t wash glasses in dishwasher. Glass get marked.

This is the most difficult, least intuitive appliance I have ever owned. I would return it if it were practical. This useless video barely shows how to program it and doesn't give direction on what to do when you need to make changes or back up. A blinking red light is not helpful!
