Q: QuestionMy dishwasher is brand new (installed 1 day ago) but it's giving off a very strong plasticy smell. It's unpleasant and after looking into it, this isn't a new issue for new units for the 1st several months. How do I get rid of the smell faster?

Asked 2 years ago by Aneara.

• A:Answer Our new dishwasher never gave off any such smell. Sometimes it is hard to find all packing materials. check that again and remove all protective films as well.

Q: Questiondoes this dishwasher comes with rinse aid refill indicator?

Asked 2 years ago by abctx.

• A:Answer I have this one and I have no indicator that tells me the rinse aid needs to be refilled. The reservoir for the rinse aid makes us absolutely crazy - it is horrible. We try to pour it in and it runs out the back. For what the Bosch DW costs there should be a decent and easy way to put the rinseaid in. I wish I had bought an LG.

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi, thank you for your question. Due to differences in hinges, and other factors, stainless panels cannot be added to custom panel dishwashers unless they also meet the requirements for panel weight and measurements.

Q: QuestionHow do you know when your load cycle is complete? Light is on during the cycle but then goes off , does that mean it’s complete? Odd! Usually all dishwashers have some indication of being done instead of nothing.

Asked 2 years ago by Done.

• A:Answer Hi Done, thanks for your question and interest in model #SHP78CM5N. During a dishwasher cycle, an infoLight® projects a red light onto the floor (or a white light in the pocket handle on select models) to indicate that the machine is in use. Once the cycle ends, the light turns off, and a tone sounds to signal that the cycle is complete.

Q: QuestionIf you chose NOT to put the app on your phone, what features are you giving up?

Asked 2 months ago by Steve.

• A:Answer Delayed start will not be available as you can only access that feature via the app. Otherwise, you must start the machine immediately. I miss being able to do everything from the control panel. It’s a huge miss by Bosch.
