Q: I've heard there are odor issue with Bosch dishwashers. Has this been resolved in this model
A: I have had mine for 18 mos, and it definitely has a horrible odor. Every week you have to clean the drain, and use some type of odor deterent. Major turnoff
Q: 06/16/2020 Does This Model # SHPM65Z52N have any issues with bad odors?
A: Yes it does, have a very bad smell. Spending almost 1000.00 for this dishwasher, I am not happy. I will never bay Bosch again.
Q: Do you have to clean filter. If so how often
A: Hi Mumu3nh, thank you for your question. Per the Use and Care Manual for Model:SHPM65Z55N here is the information on cleaning the filter: Depending on use habits and water hardness, the filter system will require some maintenance to sustain premium cleaning performance. Your filter system may need to be cleaned when: You notice food soils remaining on the filter system or objects trapped in the Large Object Trap. A drop in cleaning performance or a gritty film forms on the dishware. When washing normally attached food soils that have been scraped before loading, in a household that runs the dishwasher every other day, your filter should be cleaned: 3-6 times a year for light to average use. 8-12: times a year for heavy use. Note: Clean the filter system after washing loads with large amounts of food soils or loads with a heavy starch content, like potatoes and pasta, to maintain optimal performance.
Q: Can you set the controls with the door open?
A: Yes. You pretty much have to set the controls while the door is open. Once it’s closed, the buttons are tucked in under the counter.
Q: Can you view the LED display while the dishwasher is in use to know how much longer the cycle is?
A: No, the display is hidden. There is, however, a small light that shines on the floor to let you know when it’s running. I haven’t found myself wishing that there was a front display, it’s a FANTASTIC dishwasher
Q: Do I need to buy installation kit? I saw few messages that Bosch sends it with the dishwasher.
A: Hi Vic. Thank you for your question. The 500 Series Dishwasher, Model:SHPM65Z56N does include the drain hose and kickplate, however you will need an installation kit.
Q: My counter height is 33.9" (floor to bottom of counter top). Will this fit in the cutout?
A: Yes. It is the only brand that has adjustable pegs underneath. It can fit 33’’
Q: Does this model require an air gap?
A: If you make sure the discharge hose (drain hose) is at the recommended height (usually 1 or 2 feet above the drain pipe, or garage disposal drain connection) you should be ok. However, some local plumbing codes (which depends on where you live) may still require an air gap.
