Descaling promptly is a service. Ignoring the code for a year is a heat pump, which is the most expensive part in the machine. **Heat.** A refrigerator condenser here works against a warm kitchen for more months of the year than the same unit anywhere north, and near the water salt shortens the coil and the fan motor as well. Cleaning is seasonal rather than annual, and it prevents more expensive repairs than anything else on this list. ### The filters nobody knows about - The washer’s pump filter, behind the flap at the bottom front - The dryer’s secondary filter, and the condenser unit on models that have one - The hood’s charcoal filter, if it recirculates — which in a condo it probably does ### No obligation attached A maintenance visit ends with a short written note on anything that looks like it has a season left in it. That is information, not a quote. Knowing a gasket is on its way out is worth more than being sold one on the spot. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about bosch maintenance & descaling Seasonally rather than annually for anything with a condenser, and descale the dishwasher when it asks — or once a year if it has no way of asking. This climate is harder on appliances than the manuals assume. Against the price of a heat pump assembly, comfortably. The machine tells you when it needs it, which most appliances cannot, and that warning is worth acting on. Yes, and that is the sensible way to book it. Most of this is time rather than parts, so doing the kitchen and the laundry closet together costs much less than two visits.
