The Detergent and Rinse Aid Dispenser is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in dispensing detergent and rinse aid during the dishwashing cycle. The dispenser is designed to hold and release the appropriate amounts of detergent and rinse aid at the right times, ensuring optimal cleaning and drying performance.

Causes of a bad dispenser can include clogging or blockage in the dispenser mechanism, damage to the dispenser door or latch, or malfunctioning electronic components that control the dispensing process.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser include:

• Improper dispensing of detergent or rinse aid
• Insufficient cleaning or rinsing results
• Leaks or drips from the dispenser area
• The dispenser door not opening or closing correctly

This OEM Bosch part can also be used on Thermador and Gaggenau appliances.

The Detergent Dispenser is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It is located inside the dishwasher and is responsible for properly delivering detergent at the appropriate time during wash cycles. The detergent dispenser has a compartment that holds detergent tablets or pods, and a mechanism that releases the correct amount to efficiently clean dishes.

Causes of a bad dispenser can include clogging or blockage in the dispenser mechanism, damage to the dispenser door or latch, or malfunctioning electronic components that control the dispensing process.

Symptoms of a bad detergent dispenser include:

• Detergent not dispensing or residue left in the dispenser
• Dirty dishes due to insufficient or improper detergent delivery
• Corrosion or buildup inside the dispenser area
• Dispenser door or cover cracked or damaged

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

The Rinse Aid Door (with Gasket) is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It is responsible for covering and sealing the rinse aid dispenser. Problems with a rinse aid door can cause leaks during washing.

Causes of issues may include wear over time, damage to the door or integrated gasket. This can compromise the seal needed to contain rinse aid.

Symptoms of a problem rinse aid door:

• Observing liquid around the dispenser area 
• Water spots after a cycle
• A loose or damaged gasket allows contents to leak underneath.

The Detergent Cup Latch W Spring is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This latch securely closes the detergent dispenser cup, containing detergent during the wash cycle.

Causes of a bad latch can include wear and fatigue of the latching spring over many uses.

Symptoms of a bad detergent cup latch include:

• The cup popping open unexpectedly during a wash
• Difficulty fully closing and hearing the "click" of the latch
• Detergent leakage resulting in reduced cleaning

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

The Detergent Lid is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers, designed to cover the detergent dispenser compartment. This lid ensures that dishwasher detergent is contained and released at the correct point in the wash cycle, contributing to efficient and effective cleaning. 

Causes of a malfunctioning detergent lid can range from physical damage, such as cracks or warping that prevent a proper seal, to mechanical failure in the latch mechanism that prevents it from staying closed during the wash cycle. 

Symptoms of a bad Detergent Lid include:

• Detergent not being dispensed properly during cycles
• Water leaking from the dispenser area
• Dishes not being cleaned effectively due to the detergent not releasing at the correct time

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

The Detergent Dispenser Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers.  The detergent dispenser assembly works with the control system to release detergent during the wash cycle.  

Causes of a bad detergent dispenser assembly can include broken or loose mounting points, a dispenser that no longer locks into place, or a damaged latch mechanism preventing the dispenser from opening.

Symptoms of a bad detergent dispenser assembly include:

• Detergent not dispensing or distributing as intended
• Dispenser door unable to close or remains open
• Excess clutter inside the dishwasher
• Ineffective cleaning or dirty dishes after cycles

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

This actuator arm is the mechanical lever inside the dishwasher door's dispenser assembly. Working with its spring, it releases the detergent cup at the proper point in the cycle to restore consistent detergent dispensing. What it does

• Transfers motion from the control/drive mechanism to the dispenser latch to open the detergent cup
• Provides the spring tension needed for the lever to return to its home position
• Helps ensure detergent is dispensed at the intended time in the wash cycle
• Common symptoms include detergent left in the cup, a dispenser door that won't latch or opens inconsistently, or a visibly broken/missing lever

• 1 actuator arm with spring

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing
• Open the door and remove the inner door panel fasteners to access the dispenser linkage
• Note the spring orientation; move the spring to the new arm if needed and seat the arm in the correct pivot location
• Reassemble the door and manually test the dispenser action before running a cycle

• Restores proper engagement when a broken or fatigued lever prevents operation
• Helps stop intermittent or failed cycle starts caused by damaged mechanical linkage
• Works as a direct-fit replacement that re-establishes spring tension and lever action

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools usually required; maintain original screw/hardware if reusing
• Inspect surrounding linkages and replace damaged clips or fasteners as needed

This plunger is a small push-style actuator that transfers motion between linked components, restoring proper mechanical engagement for the related mechanism. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to return a lever or latch to its resting position. What it does:

• Acts as the push/pull actuator in a latch, dispenser or control assembly to transmit motion
• Helps the related mechanism engage, release, or return smoothly when working correctly
• Common symptom: lever or latch fails to engage, stick, or does not return to home position
• Prevents intermittent operation caused by a worn or broken push rod

• One plunger

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid electrical or mechanical hazards
