Why Wont My Bosch Dishwasher Dry Dishes?
In this episode of Appliance Advisers, hosts Francesco and Dennis discuss a common question: why doesn’t my Bosch dishwasher dry? Bosch is one of the most popular dishwasher brands, but its unique drying process can sometimes confuse users, especially those accustomed to American models with heating elements.
Unlike traditional American dishwashers that use electric heating elements to bake dishes dry, Bosch dishwashers rely on a condensation drying method. This method involves superheating water to trap heat, but it also requires specific user habits to work effectively. Our hosts cover essential tips, like keeping the door closed during the entire cycle, choosing the right wash program, and using rinse aid to enhance drying performance. They also explain Bosch features like AutoOpen and CrystalDry, designed to improve drying.

Best Counter-Depth Refrigerator Brands for 2024
I’m remodeling a kitchen and contemplating between a Thermador or SKS package. A paneled dishwasher is critical for the design. Are you saying the SKS panel ready dishwasher will NOT sit flush with the cabinets? Thank you!
We just had a Bosch 500 series dishwasher and wall oven installed to go with European flat front cabinets. Very important to have flush mount appliances! Looking forward to more information on use. It's important to be sure the installers understand this design concept. At first the oven was sticking out because they had a bunch of extra cable behind it, we had to ask them to redo it.
Customers want a great dishwasher at a very low price. They are shocked when you explain the difference.
Interesting information. You might want to do another video interviewing a designer and asking when to panel and when not to panel a refrigerator. I'm struggling with that decision right now. Thank you.
I'm glad I did 30 inches.
Our 30 yr old 48” sub zero is still working perfectly (except for the ice maker). I will replace it with another sub zero, no question.
With the pedestal though, you lose a convenient place to fold laundry. And front load washers are prone to musk and must and mold.
Any, regardless of the manufacturer have problems with the freezer rollouts. They still haven't improved the track and rollers. Maintenance issue.
I have enjoyed your presentation but wish you would never leave out the reliability and cubic size of the options you focus on. You mentioned the reliability of LG, but not the other two.
Noted. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful. Curious if you have any recommendations for laundry pedestal
Each washer and dryer has a pedestal that they are recommended to be used with. You don't mix and match.
I've read that some laundry pedestals cause certain brands to shake more than they would on solid ground.
That's not something we've seen. It sounds like potential installation issues.
@@applianceadvisers Thanks
The information y’all provide in ALL your reviews is invaluable! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
What does "the best" mean? The best looking? The best in size? What? To the consumer "the best" means MOST RELIABLE.
Great information always beneficial
Thanks for watching
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I have the cast iron Aga and would never go back to conventional ranges. The roasting and baking ovens work magic. Can’t figure out why more Americans haven’t discovered them.
Ordered the entire suite, hope I made the correct decision!
Great reviews and breakdown of these ovens. Thanks
Our pleasure!
the 36 is so nice over a 30 even when using two pans. Just having that little bit of extra room when cooking 2 things is so nice to be able to move pans around or take something off the heat
Thank you for the excellent suggestions!
You are so welcome!
Straight to the point, no bs! ❤
the dispensers are removable so the placement isn't bad.
got mine today,let you know soon.
Thank you for this great video. What models do you both have at home?
Thank you for informative video. A video discussing the backend servicing claim processes for other major manufacturers, such as LG and GE, would be great. Weighing such processes with a brand's reliability would be also helpful.
Thank You Great Job God Bless It Helped Me Incredibly. 😊
Thank you for watching.
Both also good.
I love my Lacanche. The oven, the cook top everything is perfect. I don't know who these people have been talking to.
Is he saying “drawer”?
😂
Yes, that the way they speak in New England!
Than I you for your good review. I dont like it that so many places that sell any appliances have sales people that really are not knowledgeable obout how anything works or differences in companies. Good stores need more qualified sales persons
Will not by again, it’s a label trap, broke after 5 years, parts back ordered with no ETA.
I appreciate your willingness to tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly about appliances and the appliance industry.
My range has a warming drawer but I have never used it. Sounds like I should!
I have 2 Bosch diswashers in my home that we've had for the last 15 years. Both have performed flawlessly and had no repairs. I highly recommend Bosch
I bought a Bosch. It ran good for about 3 years. But around the 3 year mark it started having LOTS of problems. After multiple service visits, the technician wrote it off as unfixable. I have found that Bosch is not that good. Not buying Bosch again.
Super video, per usual. Could you please do a video on the best undercounter ice machine, with a focus on ease of cleaning?
I'd personally be scared of the commitment for a built-in, but I'm sure it looks nice.
Great information!
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful!
Glad you think so!
Incredibly helpful. We just ordered paneling for a 48” subzero. Cost was about $4k. But stainless steel would have been $4k difference too. We almost went with thermadoor, but I’m glad we didn’t
I have the Lacanche Cluny gas top, one gas oven and one electric. There are no bells and whistles to it and I have had zero issues with it since purchase 2011. I love it. I did not purchase through a designer. We are now looking at an induction range for our cabin. Unfortunately/fortunately ($$$), Lacanche is not offered in the US yet so I am looking at AGA Elise 36" as my other contender was the ILVE but now I am shying away from it. This video was great in increasing my confidence in the AGA Elise since there are so few reviews online for the induction. Not that this was an induction review but this one coupled with the induction reviews in another video is great. Thank you for your time.
Lacache is offered in the US, I bought mine here in the US in 2018.
I owned a Lacanche Cluny for 10 years (2005 - 20014) and visited the factory in France, as well. The gas cooktop was excellent, and I enjoyed the gas oven for roasting meat and used the electric for all baking. Yes, it requires doing a lot of your own tech and the distributor supplied parts. I loved the range and it performed for me, but it most definitely is not a tech-oriented range. I sourced it on my own, no one received a commission. The Lacanche has much heavier trim parts - knobs, contrasting HW - than the AGA, which I have considered since.
Maybe they’ve improved a lot in the past 10 years, but we had an LG fridge and LG microwave and both needed multiple expensive servicing and after less than 5 years we gave up and replaced them.
As a coffee person, I'm interested in how these machines work. I appreciate the information about durability, but for those of us who really care about coffee--are these built-in machines an option? I have no idea how they work. Are there temperature controls? Flow rate controls? Water filtration options? Do they tell you how finely to grind coffee for them? Can they pre-rinse filters? I don't feel I understand why someone would acquire one--is it only for people who don't really care about coffee and they just want it fast?
Our subzero refrigerator/freezer is 21 years old and all we’ve had to do was replace a compressor in 2012 or so. Still working great! But the door hinges are starting to go and we’re told that it is just too old to service; we’re planning a full kitchen rebuild now because a lot needs fixing. It’s going to take a lot to convince me to buy anything other than subzero for the fridge/freezer.
I am thrilled to see true counter depth refrigerators. However, 36" is too wide for my space, and it's just me in my household. Not everyone needs a 27 cu ft refrigerator. Are any 33" counter depth refrigerators available in + - 20 cu ft? Which models would you recommend? I can't find much in that width. What about under-counter drawer refrigeration to supplement a smaller refrigerator? I don't want a behemoth in my modest 1100 sq ft home.
I thought the Wolf Range was 35.5" tall and adjustable up to 38"...atleastgthats the spec i saw for the induction range...
I need a 33” range…so far as I can tell, it doesn’t exist. A 36” tall countertop is way too tall for me. So I can either put a butcher block next to the stove and a step in front of the stove OR I can put in a cooktop and wait until I can afford a wall oven, making do with a toaster oven.
Thanks for the review! Considering between the Bosch 800 and LG. Hard to decide
Larger sizes are definitely taking over.
