Bosch Bumper, Bushing, Grommet Parts

The Hinge Bushing is an OEM component for Bosch dishwasher models. This bushing acts as a guide and support component for the dishwasher door hinge assembly. It facilitates smooth and quiet opening and closing of the door.

Symptoms of a bad hinge bushing include:

• noise or squeaking coming from the door hinges 
• excess play or looseness feeling in the hinge movement
• difficulty fully closing or opening the dishwasher door

Causes of a bad hinge bushing can be normal wear and tear over the life of the appliance. Small metal particles embedded in the bushing material during manufacturing may also cause premature wear.

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

This door hinge bushing sits between the hinge and pivot point to reduce friction and wear. Replacing a worn bushing restores smooth, quiet door movement and helps keep the door properly aligned over time. What it does:

• Provides a smooth, low-friction pivot surface for the hinge
• Helps maintain door alignment and consistent opening/closing feel
• Reduces squeaks, grinding, or binding from the hinge area
• Replaces cracked, flattened, or missing bushing that can make the door feel loose or stiff

• 1 door hinge bushing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Support the door to relieve hinge tension; hinges may be spring-loaded—control door movement
• Access the hinge per your model's service information and note the bushing's orientation
• Install the new bushing, reassemble, and test door travel and latching

This front drum motor mounting bushing supports the dryer drum shaft and helps the drum spin smoothly for quiet, even drying. It replaces a worn bearing surface to reduce noise and prevent drum misalignment. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction bearing surface for the drum shaft at the front motor mount
• Helps keep the drum properly aligned during rotation
• Reduces squealing, grinding, or rubbing noises caused by a worn front bushing
• Prevents excess wear on the drum shaft and adjacent components when functioning correctly

• One front drum motor mounting bushing

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair and follow all safety precautions
• Inspect the drum shaft, drum seal, and rear bushing for wear and replace as needed
• Use appropriate tools to remove the old bushing and press or seat the new bushing evenly
• Re-check installation and related components if alignment or noise persists after replacement

This rear drum motor mounting bushing supports the motor shaft at the back of the tub, keeping the drum aligned and reducing wear. It restores smooth drum rotation and helps reduce noise and vibration when functioning properly. What it does:

• Centers and supports the motor shaft to maintain proper drum alignment.
• Cushions rotating components to reduce squealing, grinding, or scraping noises.
• Helps prevent excess drum wobble and uneven wear on the tub and bearings.
• Can stop intermittent rubbing or burning smells caused by a worn mounting surface.

• Disconnect power before starting and follow all safety precautions; service panels may have sharp edges.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer/heater assembly and drum.
• Inspect mating surfaces and surrounding components (shaft, bearing, seal). Replace any excessively worn parts to prevent repeat failures.
• Use only OEM-recommended parts and fasteners; do not force or press the part in without proper alignment.
