Customer Questions and Answers for Sound Insulator by Bosch

The Sound Insulator is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch dishwashers. This insulator helps reduce operating noise during wash cycles through sound dampening material.

Causes of a bad sound insulator can include normal wear and tear over time due to constant vibration, exposure to harsh detergents and chemicals, or cracks forming from repeated expansion and contraction during heating and drying cycles.

Symptoms of a bad sound insulator include:

• Cracks or holes appearing in the sound dampening material
• Sections breaking off or no longer fitting securely 
• Increased transmission of noise rather than absorption

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
