A:AnswerHi Propster, thanks for your interest in model SHPM65Z52N. The required cut-out height is 33 7/8". The connection hook up is via the back of the dishwasher. You can view pictures via the installation manual or spec sheet located on the Bosch website. If you have any additional questions, please contact our customer service team at 1-800-944-2904.
A:AnswerI finally installed the Bosch. Shocker, Best Buy provides at no charge a box for installing a direct wire hook up. It is a separate box from the dishwasher. However, inside the the dishwasher, Bosch already has the 3 prong plug cord for connection to existing outlet. No one seemed to know that. So Best Buy, if not other merchants, provides both means of hook up.
A:AnswerThe Bosch warranty is 1 year. Best Buy offers a protection plan to purchase, which I did and believe it's well worth it for an appliance. I purchased Protection Plan when I bought DW - ask Best Buy if you can still purchase extended protection plan since original warranty from Bosch is still in place.
A:AnswerHmm. Standard dishwasher dimensions are; 24wx24dx35h. There are compact sized DWs out there. The Bosch 300 series is their compact line with a height of 32.125" Check out their model #SPE53B55UC. Hope this helps. Happy New Year.
A:AnswerMake sure that it's snugged all the back into the cabinet opening. Also the installer may have not placed the hoses/connections properly and they are preventing the unit from seating in all the way back. This may sound obvious but check for any obstruction between the unit and the wall. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerRefer to the manual as it gives very clear instructions with pictures on how to access/clean the filter. It really easy only takes 5/10 minutes to remove, clean and replace.
A:AnswerYes, this dishwasher smells like the inside of a tire store. I've had mine for several weeks and the smell has lessened only slightly. I ran it empty several times when I first got it but it still had a very bad smell - like burning rubber tires
