What to Check Next on This Bosch Dishwasher Bosch dishwasher symptom: Use the symbol or code as a starting point, then match the repair path to what the dishwasher is actually doing. Confirm whether the display is a normal cycle/status symbol or a recurring fault that stops operation. Check water supply, filter, sump, spray arms, drain path, and door latch before replacing electronic parts.
