How to replace Bosch dishwasher detergent lid 00611576

Is your Bosch dishwasher leaving your dishes less than sparkling clean? A broken detergent lid could be to blame, preventing the soap from being released at the right time. Luckily, fixing this issue is a breeze, and we’ve got you covered with a handy step-by-step guide and an accompanying how-to video just below!

The detergent lid on your Bosch dishwasher is a helpful little section that holds the soap in the dispenser until it’s needed to clean dishes during a cycle.

Over time, the detergent lid can experience wear and tear, which can cause it to break. If the latch on the detergent lid fails, it may not stay closed during the dishwasher cycle, which prevents soap from being dispensed at the right time. As a result, you may see dirty dishes after a dishwasher cycle is completed.

Replacing the lid is a quick and straightforward process that you can finish in just a few minutes with a few tools and the steps in this guide. Let’s get started!

Check part compatibility

Before you replace the detergent lid, make sure you have an OEM part that’s compatible with your specific dishwasher model. To do this, you’ll need to find the appliance model number.

The model number is typically found on a sticker or a metal plate in one of the following locations:

• Inside the dishwasher, on the side wall or door frame
• On the back or bottom of the dishwasher
• On the control panel or console

Once you’ve found the model number, write it down or take a clear photo of it for reference.

Safety precautions

• Always power off and unplug your dishwasher or switch off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by preventing any risk of injury from electric shock.
• Turn off the water supply at the outlet before beginning repairs. Keep towels ready to catch any residual water in the system when removing parts.
• When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals. If you need to touch a wire, use a non-conductive tool or wear insulating gloves to prevent electrical shock.
• Take your time and don’t rush while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries.
• Work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see and access the interior parts.
• Clear your workspace of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.
• Never work on internal parts with bare wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.
• Check your user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions for your part or dishwasher.
• Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the dishwasher or cause injury.
• Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts, pinching hazards and debris.
• Wear safety glasses when working with chemicals, dust or cleaning large debris to prevent injuries.
