Why is my Bosch washing machine not filling with water?

Common causes include a closed water supply tap, kinked inlet hose, blocked inlet filter, or low water pressure. First check that the water supply tap is fully open. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks or damage. The inlet filter may be blocked with debris; consult your instruction manual for the correct procedure to access and clean it. If these checks don't resolve the issue, the inlet valve may require professional attention.

What is PerfectDry with Zeolith technology in Bosch dishwashers?

PerfectDry is a drying technology available on selected Bosch dishwasher models. It uses Zeolith, a natural mineral that absorbs moisture and releases heat. During the drying phase, humid air passes through a chamber containing Zeolith granules, which extract moisture and release warm dry air back into the dishwasher. This is designed to improve drying results, including for plastic items. The Zeolith regenerates during washing cycles. Availability varies by model; consult your instruction manual.
