Customer Questions and Answers for Control Unit by Bosch

The Control Unit is an OEM component specially designed for select Bosch dishwashers. As the appliance's main processor, it directs all wash cycles, temperatures, times, and auxiliary features.

Integrated circuitry executes complex programs with precision to thoroughly clean varied loads efficiently. Sensors monitor functions and provide cycle status updates to the control panel interface. 

Symptoms indicating control unit replacement include:

• Cycles failing to start or responding incorrectly to input selections  
• Error codes displayed without reason or resolution through reset
• Inoperative auxiliary settings like speed adjustment or half-loads 

Causes stem from degradation over decades of continuous thermal and electronic stresses. Water intrusions pose risks as circuit boards are fragile to short circuits.

This OEM Bosch replacement part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore dishwashers utilizing identical cycles and diagnostics systems. Reinstallation ensures continued intended cycle performance.
