4.1.3 Heater
4.1.3.1 Operation
Bosch dishwashers use flow-through heaters instead of exposed
elements, saving space and allowing taller tanks holding larger
dinner plates. Flow-through heaters prevent dishware damage
from exposed elements and allow water to be continuously
filtered and heated.
NTC/Hi-limit

Filtered water from the sump flows through the circulation pump
into the flow-through heater. All heaters are protected by a 185ºF
Hi-limit (high temperature cutout) and by a flow switch which
prevents heaters from operating when no water is flowing.
