Rinse aid? A Bosch dishwasher will automatically increase dry time and final rinse temperature to compensate for lack of rinse aid. However, if there is rinse aid and it isn’t throwing a code I have no clue other than very cold intake water temp. | ||

>> I found on internet some have found the control board with burnt solder joint going to water boost
>> heater (all solder burnt off/ no connection). They clean and re-soldered the spot on control board >> and the heater went back to working. If not that then most likely the heater bad. FYI, that sounds like the issue that caused the big recall a few years ago. Dishwashers were catching on fire, and in some cases, causing house fires as a result. If yours has failed this way, or is from that era, you might want to contact Bosch instead of having it repaired. www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2018... When we moved into our house a few years back, it had a Bosch dishwasher that was part of the recall. We were offered either a free replacement of the control panel with redesigned parts, or a significant discount on a new machine. We took the opportunity to upgrade, and went with the second option.

I bought my Bosch SHU43C about 15 years ago. It was discounted at Sears, apparently either a discontinued model or a return. In any case, it's been great. However a few years after purchase - and it was running just fine - I got a letter from Sears saying there had been a safety recall. They sent out a tech who replaced the control board (or some part of it). As I recall, it was for a problem similar to what's been described here: potential for fire. One thing changed - the quick wash time changed somewhat. Not a problem for me, since I rarely use that option.
A year or two ago it started not draining completely. Not a clogged screen or drain pipe. I wound up having to replace the drain pump. Wasn't too expensive for the replacement, as I recall, maybe about $25. The worst part was getting the DW out from under the counter. The kitchen counters here had been installed onto the original flooring. Then, later, the previous owner had new linoleum installed, over 1/2" particle board underlayment. That raised the floor enough to make the DW a tight fit vertically. It actually sits in a 1/2" deep recess under the cabinetry. Eventually I'm going to redo the flooring - with some sort of tile. Hopefully it will drop the floor height to where it should be. Although I'm not counting on it! I certainly don't want to have to replace the countertops/cabinets. | ||

How often do you run it?
I run the Bosch about 2-3 times a week. I usually wait till it gets a full load. I consider it a superior design, with the heating element hidden in the water supply so it can't melt most plastic items. If this one finally dies and it too expensive to fix vs. a new one, the next new one will be a Bosch, Miele, or LG with similar hidden heating elements.
OTOH, I have a nice KA Superba vintage machine in storage, and it would be all sorts of fun to stick that in the kitchen under the counter for a while. Additionally, I have two vintage working KA/Hobart free-standing DW's, which live in the patio kitchen. I rarely run them, but they are there if I need them, just in case. Life is good with plenty of extras ;-). | ||
