Customer Questions and Answers for Valve Magnet (Solenoid) by Bosch

This valve magnet is the solenoid actuator used to open and close a dishwasher water/control valve, restoring proper water flow for filling and cycle operation. It replaces a failed or weak magnet to help the valve respond correctly. What it does:

• Converts electrical signal into linear motion to operate the dishwasher valve
• Restores valve opening and closing when a worn or stuck magnet causes fill or circulation issues
• Commonly used when dishwasher won't fill, stops mid-cycle, or shows related valve/fill errors
• Works with the valve body; does not include seals or the full valve assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning service
• Replace with the matching OEM magnet and ensure proper seating on the valve body
• Keep terminals dry and secure electrical connections; inspect gaskets and valve body for damage
