The SHE3ARF5UC is a stainless Ascenta-era machine – 50 dBA, 14 place settings, recessed handle – from the run of UC-suffixed model numbers Bosch used before the current lettering. Owners of this platform often report that the machine cleans as well as it ever did but no longer dries. That combination is diagnostic: the wash pump and heater are fine, and what has usually gone is the rinse aid supply, because PureDry drying leans heavily on rinse aid to make water sheet off the dishes instead of beading on them.
