Dishwasher repair - Bosch

top rack is for small plates & cups not pots & pans as they may obstruct the rotating of the sprayer & foul the water from getting to all the items

Do you live in a region with hard water? Here is a map to help you figure it out.

I have the same problem. We cleaned the dishwasher out because the grit was coming from the dishwasher...however, we still have dirt/grit in our dishes, but a lot less. How do we get rid of this all together?

Take off the arm and poke the blockages back into the jets then shake them out of the central pivot hole.
Remember, the drive jets (Which are at the end and make the arm turn) are the most important to keep clean.

Hi,

clean the arms of any food debris,then if this doesn't solve the problem,replace the water channel conduit that runs up the wall of the inside of the dishwasher,after years of water pressure it will erode the fitting on the wall and rack and when the drawer rack is pushed in to wash,water will get past the o-ring on the conduit and you will lose water pressure and the arm will not function properly,replace it from the sump to the top,its not that expensive and it will assure full pressure

the spray arms are not rotating check they spin freely if they do remove them and clean any residue food deposits blocking holes for water spray.

your top spray arm is blocked and not rotating,remove it from top basket and thoroughly clean it paying particular attention to the holes right at the ends these are angled to drive the arms round if they block up the arms will not rotate.

check the holes on the sprayer for the upper rack, somtimes they get pluged up and the top rack dishes wont get sprayed off. if they are pluged remove them and wash in a sink

Very common problem is soap build up in these machines. Try putting it into a wash cycle with no dishes, and no soap. Let it wash for about 5 minutes, and then open the door. If you see alot of soap suds, then soap build up is the problem. Try doing a couple loads with no soap, and no dishes, and throw a cup of vinegar into the machine halfway through the wash. Repeat as necessary. This should solve your problem.
