I am extremely disappointed with the service experience surrounding my Bosch dishwasher.
The dishwasher developed an E20 heating error. The technician diagnosed the problem as a faulty heat pump, and I then waited more than a week for the replacement part to arrive. Once installed, I was told the dishwasher was fully repaired.
However, on the very next wash cycle, the same problem remained. The dishwasher still did not heat properly, there was no steam at the end of the cycle, and the E20 error returned. After scheduling another visit, I had to push the technician for answers before being told that the newly installed heat pump was supposedly defective and that another heat pump would need to be ordered. Frankly, after more than three weeks without a working dishwasher, I have little confidence that the root cause has been correctly diagnosed.
I am now being asked to wait yet another week or more for another heat pump, despite the fact that the original repair did not resolve the issue. We are traveling shortly, and upon our return we will have eight family members staying with us and not having a working dishwasher scares me.
To make matters worse, the technician caused cosmetic damage during the repair process. Instead of properly removing the dishwasher, he loosened only the top mounting screws and then pulled the appliance forward, tearing the rubber trim around the side mounting screws. I now have visible damage to a machine that still does not work.
Communication and scheduling have also been frustrating. I have had to rearrange appointments multiple times because the technician was unable to keep to the agreed service times.
The overall experience has fallen far short of what I would expect from a premium brand (Bosch) and their affiliated technicians.
More than three weeks later, I still do not have a functioning dishwasher, the appliance has been cosmetically damaged during the repair process, and there appears to be no sense of urgency in resolving the matter. Both Bosch and the service provider Mr. Appliance need to do better.
UPDATE 6/24: It has now been another week (more than a month and the machine is still not fixed). Mr. Appliance sent out a different technician. However after the heat pump was replaced AGAIN it didn’t solve the problem. Now a new part has been ordered, more waiting time. It has been more than a month of back and forth trying to identify the error and I am left without a working dishwasher before my whole family arrives. Utterly frustrating.
