Bosch 00425565 On/Off Button OEM Part

The old fascia had broken and been torn off. I should have saved the buttons from it, but I didn't know that I'd be repairing it - I figured I would have to replace the unit. Well, money is tight, so I got the model number from the unit and looked up parts online. I couldn't find the exact model number on this site, but the picture of the fascia looked just like the picture in my manual, so I bought it, a handle strip, and a new set of buttons. I pulled the stainless panel off the front, then removed the screws that were still holding the brackets left from the old fascia. I installed the handle strip and all the buttons in the new fascia, and put it on the dishwasher. There are several tabs that have to line up with slots in the door. I made sure everything lined up, rolled it into position, and snapped in the locking tabs, and put in the screws. I replaced the stainless panel, and tried to fire up the dishwasher. It wasn't working! Some of the six buttons were very stiff, stuck hard in the 'out' position, and they couldn't be pressed in. They looked lined up, so that wasn't the issue. I took the fascia off again, and inspected the buttons. Each one has tabs on the back to stop its travel when depressed, and they were all different sizes. Each also has a letter on the back, so I thought that maybe the problem was that I had installed them out of sequence - but the control panel is flat; there are no differences in the height of the buttons on it, so I really wasn't convinced that would solve the problem. I put the fascia back on, and the issue was still there. So I removed the thing one more time, and pulled the six buttons out of it. I took them out to my wood shop and sanded the tabs all to the same level as the shortest on in the set, and reinstalled everything. The buttons now work fine, and the dishwasher fired right up. Now my dishwasher looks just like new again. Tools used: one torx driver for the screws, and a flat blade screwdriver to help ease out the locking tabs. Oh, and a sanding block to level the tabs on the backs of the buttons.

Ordered a new dishwasher Panel Fascia and buttons. Un-boxed new parts and installed buttons into new panel. Turned off circuit breaker. Removed front cover of dishwasher to expose panel with T20 Torx driver. Removed panel from door. Removed old broken screw attachments. Moved handle to new panel and attached to door. Reattached front cover. Turned on breaker. Tested buttons for proper operation.

I looked everywhere online to buy the front panel tools but only AppliancePartsPros had the parts I needed which came with the assurance of fit. I brought with confidence. The video part on how to fix the font panel was very useful as well. This website is a blessing.

Ordered new fascia, buttons and on/off button. Looked at the video several times. Disassembled door panel, installed new parts and reassembled. Estimated time to complete repair is 30 minutes.

Thanks to AppliancePartsPros.com I was able to procure the parts needed to replace the front panel on my Bosch Dishwasher. The panel actually went on backorder, but thanks to the work of the support staff at AppliancePartsPros.com, one was found and arrived on time. The tips included in the video and others who shared their story were invaluable. The job took about 10 minutes to complete and went flawlessly. Thanks again for a great experience.
