If you have a Bosch dishwasher that is not filling correctly, it could be caused by a clogged filter or drain hose, a blocked pump, bent water supply hose, or an obstructed water inlet valve. You can also clean the spray jets and check if the float switch is stuck in the fill position.
If your Bosch Dishwasher isn’t drying, be sure that the dispenser you are using any drying aids within is not clogged, and if it is, clear it of any residual product. Try also running hot water from your sink and turning up the temperature of your water heating to promote a hotter wash.

However, the refrigerant also may not draw and release heat if the coils are covered or the fans are broken. There could also be issues with the door seal or control board.
Racks that aren’t being used will slow down how long it takes to heat up. If you place a tray in the oven before it’s preheated it will take longer because it’s harder for the air to circulate. Newer models are also larger than older models and take longer to heat up.
The water temperature can not be hot enough, or the soap can be clumpy before use. If the hot water is all used up, for example if a lot of hot water has been used recently and none is available for the dishwasher the soap can not dissolve. Old powdered soap can be clumpy and won’t dissolve.

It also means the drum is working, narrowing down the list of reasons why the dryer is not producing enough heat. Here are four ways to safely troubleshoot why your dryer is not heating enough:
Kenmore dryers will not spin if the drive belt is broken. If the belt is intact, there may be damage to the motor or support structures around the dryer’s drum, including the bearings, rollers and glides. If the dryer keeps spinning, check the timer mechanism, circuit board or even the door switch.
It is caused by the spray arm being obstructed, the dishwasher being dirty, the water temperature being too low, or the water pressure being too low. A Maytag dishwasher should be cleaned monthly using affresh® tablets. Ensure nothing is blocking the spray arm from spinning.
