MODEL OVERVIEW
About this model: Bosch SHP78CM6N
The Bosch SHP78CM6N is an 800 Series 24-inch dishwasher with top controls and a black finish, specified for 16 place settings at 42 dBA. Its listed programs include Heavy, Auto and Normal, with Sanitize and Crystal Dry among the available options. PrecisionWash with the PowerControl spray arm and selectable ZoneControl regions provide its wash setup; Bosch lists CrystalDry for drying.
Fit and installation
Its exterior is listed as black, with a pocket handle design. This is the version to compare with a replacement if visible finish and door grip matter. Bosch gives body dimensions of 33 7/8 x 23 9/16 x 23 3/4 inches, in height-width-depth order, and a required opening of 33 7/8 in x 24 in x 24 in. Measure the opening and consult the installation instructions; the cutout and appliance measurements serve different purposes. The listed drain outlet hose is 78 3/4 inches long. Check the route to the existing drain against the installation instructions before assuming a same-width appliance can reuse it.
Program choices
The named on-machine programs for SHP78CM6N are Heavy, Auto, Normal, Speed 60, Favorite. The names alone do not fix a run time or prove which program suits a particular load. On this exact listing, Favorite is an appliance program while Rinse is in the Home Connect-only list. Keep those access routes separate when a household expects a control to be on the physical selector.
Connected options
Bosch lists Remote Start, Sanitize, Crystal Dry, ZoneControl Front, ZoneControl Back, ZoneControl Custom as available options for this exact unit. Sanitize and drying choices affect a selected program, while Remote Start concerns connected control; none is a standalone wash program. The additional Home Connect choices in the listing are Hand Wash, Energy Save, Half Load, Machine Care, Rinse. Check the controls or app for the choices available after setup.
Drying and controls
Bosch lists an audible end-of-program signal for SHP78CM6N. Listen for completion before judging a damp load or opening the door to unload; the sound is an operating cue, whereas a displayed fault or unusual LED pattern belongs to the manual’s diagnostic table. Home Connect can show progress after setup, but it does not identify the cause of a blocked drain or closed supply valve. Use the exact control layout and the cited instructions for a real warning. Bosch lists Crystal Dry among the controls and CrystalDry, PureDry as the installed drying system. If Favorite finishes with water in concave pieces, check the selected drying option and rinse-aid guidance before assuming a defect.
Usage and protection
Bosch's annual figures for SHP78CM6N are 240 kWh of electricity and 688 gallons of water. They describe the manufacturer's published annual consumption data, not a measured amount for one particular household or wash. The listing marks this model ENERGY STAR certified. Program choice, loading and local use can change actual consumption. Keep the model number with these figures when comparing appliances, because neighboring series variants may have different values.
Reading the manual diagnostics
Other manual entries separate draining from filtration and circulation: E:61-03 indicates water is not draining and directs attention to the disposal plug, hose, pump cover or high loop; E:92-40 is about dirty filters; E:92-10 refers to the lower spray arm. E:90-01 concerns low supply voltage and belongs with an electrician, while E:61-60 is a technical fault for Bosch service. For SHP78CM6N, the code table below carries the manual's page-linked steps; use it before opening any component. A further exact-manual example is E:92-40: it describes dirty or blocked filters; follow the cleaning instructions. This is a different subsystem from the other codes above, so record the complete display before choosing an owner-level check.
