SHE878ZD5N

Bosch SHE878ZD5N

Most common issues on this model

  1. An obstructed fan or duct that stops the zeolite doing its job
  2. A dropped utensil or lid wedged in the grille over the drying module
  3. Normal wear of springs and racks on an 800 Series door

Only one letter separates the SHE878ZD5N from the SHE878WD, yet this is the build that has CrystalDry in addition to PureDry. The Z in its number gives it away. Both are built-under stainless 800 Series machines on a deep tub with a third rack, at 42 dBA and loading sixteen place settings.

It shows why exact model numbers matter on a Bosch: two units that look alike in a showroom and share a series can dry in different ways, and that changes what we check when drying is poor.

Because the zeolite module takes air through a grille in the tub floor, our usual checks are the fan, the duct and that grille, which a small item dropped into the tub can block.

SHE878ZD5NSHE878ZD5N questions
A small piece of plastic fell into the floor grille. Is that a problem?

It might be. Air for the drying module comes through that grille, and a blockage cuts drying noticeably. Take the item out, or have us do it, instead of leaving it there.

How do I tell which 800 Series I have?

Match the code printed inside the door against Bosch's spec for it. Across this family, the letter Z marks the CrystalDry build and the letter W marks one that dries by condensation alone.

Drying has slowly worsened over months. What is likely?

A gradual decline usually points to airflow, such as a partly blocked duct or a tiring fan. It is a targeted check and seldom a big job.
