The SMS6ZCI49E/49 uses Zeolith drying. Its sealed Zeolith chamber is not an owner-maintenance item; the /49 suffix identifies this appliance revision for parts.
What to check before buying
Exact revision and fit
The /49 suffix is part of this dishwasher’s E-Nr; Bosch lists other SMS6ZCI49E revisions separately. Use a photo of the label when matching parts or booking service. Compare the installation information with the kitchen opening and connections, especially if the machine sits under a counter.
Drying and maintenance
Bosch lists heat-exchanger and Zeolith drying for this revision. Its PerfectDry guidance separates filter and spray-arm cleaning from the sealed Zeolith chamber, which is not an owner-maintenance item. A drying complaint may therefore need a different diagnosis from a blocked filter. Inspect racks, spray arms, seals and filters on a used unit, and request a full cycle that drains without leaking.
