SHV78CM3N

Bosch SHV78CM3N

Most common issues on this model

  1. Door springs wrecked early by a panel above the published weight
  2. Water leaking out of sight until the cabinet floor is damaged
  3. Fixings that loosen so the panel sags down onto the plinth

The SHV78CM3N has no front of its own, because the front is your cabinetry. Behind that panel the machine is rated 42 dBA and loads 16 place settings across three racks, dries with CrystalDry, and brings AquaStop Plus plus Home Connect. Designers pick it to keep a kitchen run unbroken.

The panel is where trouble starts. An 800 Series door is heavy before a joiner adds a slab of timber, which is why Bosch publishes a weight limit for the panel. Exceed it and the door springs can be ruined inside a year.

We therefore ask about the panel on every call. Springs wear first. A leak can also hide behind the panel until the cabinet floor swells, and loose panel fixings can let the panel sag onto the plinth.

SHV78CM3NSHV78CM3N questions
Where do I find the maximum panel weight?

It is in Bosch's installation information for this exact model. Check it before the cabinet maker cuts anything, because a heavier panel wears the springs quickly.

The door slams shut now. What changed?

Spring and panel are out of balance. Either the springs have tired with age or the panel now weighs more than it did. We adjust or replace the spring set as an assembly, and then check the panel fixings too. We adjust or replace the spring assembly.

Can I tell if water is leaking behind the panel?

Feel the plinth and cabinet base for damp, and notice any musty smell. If you find either, close the supply valve and call us before the cabinet is affected.
