Mine does have the 3rd tray in the top for silver ware. I like it
because it allows more room in the bottom for other things. It washes
great too except for sometimes it a moron loads it incorrectly some
things do not get clean. Or maybe it is because it has the top tray.
In any case no issues except for this drain error code.

We’ve bought Bosch twice in the last five years or so. One of the things we
learned from people here and elsewhere that we spoke to about them was to avoid
the models that had the top mounted silverware trays. Both models we purchased,
the one for the former home and the one i just bought to for the present home
have the silverware baskets in the lower rack and perform wonderfully. Neither
was one of the more expensive models, in fact, I think the most recent one we
bought was less than $600 from Lowe’s.
Both ran a 2:15 long cycle by default. You could run shorter cycles, but I
never felt the need. I’m regularly amazed at how clean these get our dishes and
other cooking things we put in it, no matter how they’re loaded.
One thing I would emphasize as well is that a local appliance guy told me to
always use rinse agent. We’re religious about making sure the reservoir is
always full (most of these machines have an indicator to let you know when
they’re out.) I buy the big bottle of Finish or whatever the stuff is at CostCo
and it lasts us several months, at least.
Why would it matter how long the cycle is? We usually run ours in the morning
after breakfast or after dinner.

On the subject of dishwashers, our beloved 2006 KithcenAid is acting like
it will give up the ghost any day soon. Makes an embarrassingly loud noise
during its cycle, although the dishes still emerge sparklingly clean.
Price on a comparable replacement KitchenAid has risen to $850 and up, so I
have been looking at Bosch, Samsung, GE and Whirlpool models with a third
rack that are in my price range.
Had a Bosch dw in the old house and it was very quiet but the cycle took 2+
hours which is way too long. Don't know if they have solved that problem
by now. Samsung has the best features but I have heard some bad things.

I've never had great luck with ice makers. Mostly they clog up and stop
working. The ice maker in my GE started leaking, ruined the floor and
stained the ceiling below before I noticed it. That was about a year
after the in-door water dispenser quit. Design flaw, they routed the
water line too close to the interior and it is prone to freezing up.

I have one like that too. Bottom ice maker quit working, called repair
(I bought extended warranty from Lowes), guy came and changed the
filler tube, which froze and burst. some cheap plastic bit. Bottom ice
maker works when it wants to, has been working OK for the last few
months but doesn't put out like it should. I have to occasionally
reset it when it quits cycling. So far temps have been OK. Repair guy
told me that most new fridges are PsOS due to energy savings issues,
the motors run full out when they run, and they cycle more often,
which burns them out more frequently than the old ones that were big
and just ran.

Avoid Samsung refrigerators. They are piles of crap. We bought a new
expensive french door model back in around 2017. The reason we went
with this model was because it had an ice maker in the door and one
in the bottom freezer. At first everything was fine but within a
short time the top ice maker turned into a pile of junk. It
constantly freezes up with big chunks of ice and gets jammed. 90% of
the time it does not work unless you thaw it out then it will work
for a day or 2 maybe. Bottom ice maker has always worked fine.
I am sitting here in my chair in the living room which is just right
behind the refrigerator on the other side of the wall (open floor
plan), heard some sort of different noise coming from the kitchen. I
did not think much about it. Just a few minutes ago I got into the
refrigerator and when you open the doors the temp of the freezer and
refrigerator display on the control panel. Freezer was a 36 and
refrigerator was at 58. Was fine when I went to bed last night.
Compressor does not appear to be running. That strange noise I heard
earlier now that I think about it was probably the compressor trying
to run, or running but dying. Lucky I did just sign up for that home
service contract which I already have an appointment Tuesday for the
Bosch Dishwasher issue (drain pump). Guess I will put in a service
request for this too.
