Frustrated Bosch Owner for Model Number SHE55M05UC/50 Bosch parts site cross-referenced seal 00494772 to my SHE55M05UC/50 dishwasher. I ordered the seal directly from Bosch, but when received, seal 00494772 was 4 inches (100 mm) shorter than the original seal, and, when in place, did not extend inward from the installation channel along the bottom of the dishwasher (approximately 2.5 inches) as did the original. When I contacted Bosch parts support, they advised this was the correct part, and that it required a special tool for installation which would stretch it to the proper length, which seems completely idiotic to me. So, I've two questions: 1. Is this correct? 2. If correct, how do I do it myself?
Answer Frustrated Bosch owner, The part that they have listed 12054183 is showing as the correct part but unfortunately we have never heard of an installation tool for putting a door seal in. It is possible that the seal was cut to short. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, October 10, 2014
