Bosch Valve

The Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers that is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher at the start of each wash cycle. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher and then closes to ensure the correct amount of water is used during the cycle.  

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve include:

• Inadequate water filling the dishwasher.
• Overfilling, which can cause leaks and potential water damage.
• Unusual noises coming from the valve area.
• The dishwasher not starting.

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can vary from mineral buildup from hard water, which can block the valve, to mechanical failure or wear and tear over time. Electrical issues can also affect the valve's operation, preventing it from opening or closing properly.

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

The Float Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part prevents water from overfilling and potentially leaking onto the kitchen floor. The float triggers the switch to shut off the water inlet when the appropriate water level is reached, ensuring the dishwasher operates efficiently and safely.

Causes of a bad float assembly can vary from debris or buildup restricting the float's movement, damage to the float mechanism, or issues with the float switch itself.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Float Assembly include:

• The dishwasher not filling with water properly
• Water overflowing from the dishwasher
• The dishwasher not starting due to the float being stuck in the "full" position

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

This dual water inlet valve controls water flow to appliance components like the dispenser and ice maker, restoring proper water delivery when the valve is functioning. It replaces a faulty or leaking inlet valve to help stop water issues. What it does:

• Opens and closes water flow to the appliance's water circuits (dispenser/ice maker) when signaled
• Commonly linked to no water dispensed or ice maker not filling
• Can be a source of slow fill or intermittent water delivery
• A leaking or stuck valve can cause visible leaks or water pooling

• One dual water inlet valve

• Shut off water supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening connections to prevent damage
• Inspect inlet hoses and seals when replacing the valve

This float switch lever is the actuator that moves the dishwasher's tub float to operate the water-level/flood-sensing switch, helping the appliance detect overfill and control fill/drain cycles. Replaces a worn or broken lever to restore proper float activation. What it does:

• Transfers movement from the tub float to the float switch so the machine senses water level correctly
• Commonly needed when a cracked or detached lever prevents the float from engaging the switch
• Can stop overfill-safety trips or no-fill symptoms caused by a non-responsive float assembly
• Works with the existing float and float switch; restores mechanical linkage function

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove lower access panels or tub components as required to reach the float assembly
• Inspect surrounding clips and the float for damage; replace any broken hardware
• Tighten securely but avoid over-torquing; test float movement and switch activation before reassembly
