Bosch 00166637 Dispenser Gasket OEM Part

Replaced dispenser. It was hard to snap into place. You don't need to order separate gasket it comes with it.

Our 15 year old Bosch dishwasher started leaking Rinse Agent on silverware, leaving a sticky residue. The root cause is the wear on the little rubber seal on the rinse agent valve over time. The whole assembly is easy to replace, once the door skin is removed with just a little fighting with the metal clips as others have stated. My main reason for this review, however, is it was unclear to me if the dispenser gasket came with the dispenser or not. I erred on the side of caution and did order a gasket separately - which was unnecessary. The gasket comes with the dispenser. Hopefully some of you can avoid ordering an unnecessary spare gasket. Appliance Parts Pros did a great job - correct part came quickly with no hassles of any kind.

I purchased a new dispenser assembly from AppliancePartsPros.com, having purchased other appliance parts from them in the past, and replaced the malfunctioning assembly. Making sure that the new unit was fully seated, so that the gasket would fully prevent any leakage, was a little difficult, but otherwise, the installation was pretty straightforward and easy.

The problem was a defective soap dispenser. You Tube showed the way to replace the dispenser and the part went in easily. When I took the dishwasher door off, something fell on the floor and I couldn't see where it came from. This became the biggest issue. I ended up contacting the people at Appliancepartspros and sent them a picture of the "part". They informed me that it wasn't a "part" from the dishwasher but a "part" from a sippy cup!! Thanks Appliancepartspros.

I did research about that problem. I pulled the door cover off and determined that the part that trips the door to open was frozen in place and there was no way for me to free it. I easily found the detergent dispenser listed and ordered it. When it came, I replaced the dispenser and now it works like new.
