Safety first

If you see a leak near electrical parts, smell burning, or notice sparks, stop using the dishwasher; isolate power and water only if safe, and arrange service.

Common problems

The checks below use general official manufacturer guidance, not an exact-variant repair procedure. Verify the complete model and the correct manual before doing anything beyond simple owner-level observations.

Poor washing results

What you notice: Food residue, cloudy items, or an undissolved tablet after a completed wash.

What to check: Bosch UK recommends checking loading, the accessible filter, and spray-arm clearance; follow the matching E-Nr manual before removing any component. Bosch UK cleaning guidance.

When to stop: Stop for leaks, burning smell, or repeated poor results after owner-level checks.

Not filling with water

What you notice: A cycle starts but the tub does not fill as expected.

What to check: Check the accessible supply valve and visible hose routing without detaching fittings. Bosch UK filling guidance.

When to stop: Stop if the hose is damaged, water is leaking, or the fault persists.

Dishes remain wet

What you notice: Visible moisture on dishes at the end of a wash.

What to check: Check loading and rinse-aid advice before assuming a heating fault. Bosch UK drying guidance.

When to stop: Arrange service if heating fails or the manual indicates a heating fault.

Manual and support

Bosch UK lists service documentation by the full E-Nr, which includes characters after a slash (for example, model variants /60, /75 or /86). These are not interchangeable proof of a procedure for every SMS6TCI02G appliance. Copy the complete label before selecting a manual.

Manual verification: The source inventory provides model SMS6TCI02G without the Bosch E-Nr slash suffix. Bosch UK documents variants separately; a matching revision and direct PDF were not verified. This link is the Bosch UK manual finder, not a direct manual.
