Parts for Bosch SRX53C15UC/01: Base Assembly Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

This AquaStop is an anti-flood inlet device that helps stop water flow if a leak is detected, protecting the dishwasher and surrounding floor from water damage. It replaces a failed or damaged leak-sensing inlet assembly. What it does

• Detects leaks or excess water and shuts off the incoming water supply to prevent flooding.
• Protects the dishwasher base and surrounding floor from water damage.
• Commonly replaced when there is water in the dishwasher base, visible leaks, or when the dishwasher repeatedly shuts off or displays a leak/flood condition.
• Works with the dishwasher's inlet/fill system to interrupt water flow when a fault is present.

• One AquaStop anti-flood inlet device (single assembly)

• Turn off and disconnect the dishwasher's power and shut off the water supply before starting.
• Installation typically requires access to the water inlet area (toe-kick/panel removal) and basic hand tools.
• Inspect hose and inlet connections for damage; replace any damaged hoses or fittings.
• After installation, restore power and water, then run a short cycle and check all connections for leaks.

This inlet seal is a small rubber gasket that creates a watertight connection at the dishwasher's water inlet. Replacing a worn seal helps stop leaks and ensures the inlet valve can fill the appliance properly. What it does:

• Seals the water inlet connection to prevent drips or steady leaks underneath the dishwasher
• Maintains a tight seal at the inlet valve so the fill cycle can operate normally
• Commonly replaced when there is visible wear, cracking, or persistent water on the floor
• Helps avoid water damage and the nuisance of repeated drainage or fill errors tied to leaking

• One inlet seal

• Turn off the water supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the inlet valve or access panel as needed to reach the seal; replace with the old seal removed
• Make sure the new seal is seated evenly and the mating surfaces are clean before reassembly

The Water Inlet Fill Hose is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part is responsible for safely and efficiently connecting the dishwasher to your home's water supply, ensuring that water flows into the dishwasher at the correct pressure and volume for optimal cleaning performance. 

Over time, the Water Inlet Fill Hose can become susceptible to wear and tear, leaks and blockages.

Symptoms indicating the need for a new Water Inlet Fill Hose include:

• Water pooling around the dishwasher base, pointing to a potential leak in the hose.
• The dishwasher not filling with water properly, or filling very slowly, suggesting a blockage or damage to the hose.
• A visible inspection reveals cracks, bulges, or signs of corrosion on the hose connectors.

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

The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers, designed to facilitate the efficient and reliable expulsion of wastewater from the appliance to the household drainage system. This component ensures that used water is properly drained out after each wash cycle, preventing water from backing up and causing issues within the dishwasher.  The hose measures 5 feet. This Bosch dishwasher drain hose comes with one O-ring. For the 1-foot drain hose order 00298556.

Causes for replacement may include clogs from food particles or debris, physical damage such as cracks or splits that lead to leaks, or a hose that has become stiff and noncompliant over time.  

Symptoms of a bad Drain Hose include:

• Water remaining in the bottom of the dishwasher after the cycle has completed, indicating a failure to drain.
• Leaks under the dishwasher, which may be a sign of a cracked or damaged hose.
• Poor dishwasher performance or error codes related to drainage problems.

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

Symptoms of a bad float include:

• The dishwasher not filling or filling slowly
• Error codes related to fill issues
• Improper water levels impacting wash results

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

This float switch lever is the actuator that moves the dishwasher's tub float to operate the water-level/flood-sensing switch, helping the appliance detect overfill and control fill/drain cycles. Replaces a worn or broken lever to restore proper float activation. What it does:

• Transfers movement from the tub float to the float switch so the machine senses water level correctly
• Commonly needed when a cracked or detached lever prevents the float from engaging the switch
• Can stop overfill-safety trips or no-fill symptoms caused by a non-responsive float assembly
• Works with the existing float and float switch; restores mechanical linkage function

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove lower access panels or tub components as required to reach the float assembly
• Inspect surrounding clips and the float for damage; replace any broken hardware
• Tighten securely but avoid over-torquing; test float movement and switch activation before reassembly

This shaft for the float switch is the replacement shaft that secures and guides the dishwasher float to accurately detect water level, helping the appliance fill and shut off properly. Direct-fit design replaces the worn or broken float shaft. What it does

• Guides the float so the level-sensing switch can detect low or high water levels.
• Prevents overfilling by ensuring the float actuates the water-level switch reliably.
• Commonly replaces a cracked, bent or missing shaft that causes inconsistent fill, continuous filling, or water-level errors.

• One replacement float switch shaft.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove the access panels and float assembly per your model's service instructions to reach the shaft.
• Inspect the float and switch for damage; replace only the failed components as needed.
