Hey guys, I have a Kenmore dishwasher 630.13902011, Serial# 900552770. What is the Bosch version of this Kenmore variant? What are the cycles and options and where was it made? I realize that I have a Bosch unit, and I have had great performance with it.
Why does it speed up and slow down the pump during wash? Why does it increase and decrease pressure? What is the rationale? What was the reason Bosch decided to do that? I'm learning more about this unit and want to know more. Does it realy have turbo jets like the Kenmore version I have? Why or why not? If anybody else has had this dishwasher, I'd like your thoughts. Thank you.
P.S. I did notice that it has a plastic floor, although it seems to hold up well. Did they copy the Ascenta line? Does it have suspended pumps?
 
That is a three phase DC motor. As I understand the concept, the control ramps up the speed to see if there are any issues with pump and water level or rather water supply through the motor. Also as I understand it, the plastic bottom is the price competitive US domestic design as opposed to the older bucket base version. The motor is suspended by a rubber hanger on one end and a grommet/seal at the business end. The heater is also part of the motor. Generally speaking, I have only had trouble with the water valve leaking on the floor and carry that valve on my truck. I do advise checking the manual to see if you have the enhanced dry option, along with dialing in your rinse aid level. Rinse aid is dispensed by time and the factory default was a rather large amount. I am a BSH authorized service provider, and greatly enjoyed the older SHU and SMU series machines
 
Bosch under Kenmore

Mine has what's called dry assist, which I turned on when I moved into my apartment. I also adjusted the rinse aid to the highest setting as I have hard water. What is the Bosch equivalent of turbo clean? I did notice that it sprays hard on the main wash, then the intermediate rinse if turbo clean is selected.
Where are the turbo jets? Are they on always or only if that option is selected? I've used it from time to time. Is the pump horizontal or vertical?
Where was the machine made?
