The most common call

### Dishwasher not draining

Water standing in the bottom of the tub after a cycle. Two of the five causes come out by hand without tools, which makes this the symptom most worth five minutes before booking anything.

- Standing water after every cycle
- A code in the twenties, or four flashing lights
- Dishes clean on top, wet and gritty below
- Usually not a repair
					Dishwasher not drying

					Plastics coming out wet is how these machines are designed to behave, and it is the single most common reason somebody books a repair on this brand that they do not need. Glassware coming out wet is a different matter.

														Plastics wet, glass and steel dry

														Everything wet, including glass

														Drying noticeably worse than it used to be

### Dishwasher not drying

- Plastics wet, glass and steel dry
- Everything wet, including glass
- Drying noticeably worse than it used to be
- The machine may lock itself out
					Dishwasher leaking

					Water on the floor, or a machine that has stopped and refuses to start. The leak protection on these dishwashers catches water in the base before it reaches your kitchen — which is why the first sign is usually a machine that will not run rather than a puddle.

														Machine dead with a leak code showing

														Water at the front edge of the door

														A damp cabinet base with no visible puddle

## About Bosch SHX78CM5N

### What a SHX78CM5N is

A fully integrated 24-inch dishwasher — the controls are on the top edge of the door and the front takes a custom cabinetry panel. It belongs to the 800 Series, which is where its parts and its features come from.

### What we are called out for on it

### The thing worth knowing about this one

Panel-ready changes the appointment more than the repair: your cabinetry rides on the door, so it comes off and goes back true, and the door springs are carrying its weight as well as their own.

### Where the model number is

On the door edge of a dishwasher, visible when the door is open. On the inner frame of a refrigerator, usually behind a drawer. On the door collar or behind the filter flap on laundry. A photograph of the plate is enough — it tells us the series, the configuration and which parts fit, before anyone drives anywhere.

This article is based on:

- Official manufacturer documentation
- Internal repair procedures
- Technician repair history
- Company quality standards
Before you book

## Questions about bosch SHX78CM5N

OEM parts are ordered against the model number rather than stocked against a guess, so we confirm the diagnosis before ordering. The common consumables ride in the van.

Often close but not identical — the trailing characters usually mean a finish or a market variant, and occasionally a different component. Send us the whole number from the plate and we will tell you which parts fit.

The model number says it. Tell us the number and we will tell you the series, or look it up here — this one is 800 Series.
