Parts for Bosch SHE8PT55UC/05: Base & Frame 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

Symptoms requiring replacement are:

• The door no longer locks firmly in place during washing    
• It unlatches accidentally during active cycles   
• Loud rattling noises occur due to loose locking pins

This OEM Bosch part fits additional brand models including Gaggenau, Thermador, and select Kenmore dishwashers.

The Mounting Bracket Kit is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. The mounting brackets provide structural support and help distribute weight evenly across the base. Note: This is a kit of (2) brackets. For the mounting screws, order part number 00189670.

Causes of a bad mounting bracket can include cracks or breaks developing due to stresses placed on the unit over time. Improper installation that puts excessive strain on the bracket can also cause damage.

Symptoms of a bad mounting bracket include:

• Visible cracks or deformation of the bracket
• Loose or unstable mounting of the dishwasher
• Excessive vibration or noise during operation
• Difficulty leveling or aligning the dishwasher properly

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

This protective cover sheet mounts to the appliance's frame to shield and support nearby components. Replacing a damaged or missing panel helps keep wiring and mechanisms protected and securely mounted, reducing vibration and preventing premature wear.

• Shields internal components from debris, moisture, and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper alignment and support of adjacent assemblies
• Can reduce rattling or vibration when correctly secured
• Replace if bent, cracked, corroded, or missing

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before servicing
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; panel edges can be sharp
• Note and retain original fasteners/clips for reuse
• Route wires and seals carefully to avoid pinching; align panel before tightening fasteners

• Provides thermal and electrical isolation between components to help prevent heat transfer and accidental contact
• Protects wiring and nearby parts from chafing and abrasion
• Helps reduce risk of shorts or intermittent electrical faults when insulation is intact
• Common symptoms of a bad or missing insulator: visible damage, melting or scorch marks, exposed wiring, or intermittent operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Remove any necessary panels to access the damaged insulator
• Handle carefully to avoid tearing or compressing the material; replace with the identical part number
