A tall pan can fit in the rack and still obstruct a spray arm. Before starting a Bosch dishwasher, check that the load leaves the arms free to move. This is an owner check from Bosch’s quick-start document, not a diagnosis for a machine that cannot drain.

Rack height is a model feature

On machines equipped with Rackmatic, Bosch describes adjustable middle-rack positions. Use your model’s instructions for the adjustment. Don’t assume a different rack has the same levers or force a fixed rack to move.

Face the dirty surfaces inward and use the folding tines where fitted for larger items. Scrape food from dishes before loading. A cycle that finishes with poor cleaning is worth describing differently from a cycle that stops with standing water.

The filter and the drying system

For normal use, this Bosch guide suggests cleaning the dishwasher filter every two months. It describes lifting the filter out and rinsing it with warm water and dish soap. Follow the removal and refitting instructions for your own model. Stop if access requires work beyond that owner procedure.

The guide also distinguishes drying features. AutoAir and CrystalDry are not fitted to every machine. Some moisture on tub walls can be normal with PureDry; that statement does not explain water left across the tub floor.

If water remains or the machine leaks, arrange a dishwasher inspection. Don’t reach through the sump into hidden components.
