Parts for Bosch SHP878ZD5N/01: Container / Ventilation Duct / Fan Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

This factory replacement container restores the appliance's ability to securely hold contents as designed. Replace a cracked, leaking, or missing container to prevent messes and keep the interior organized and functioning properly. What it does

• Holds and contains items or liquid as intended by the appliance design
• Helps prevent leaks and spills when seated correctly and undamaged
• Replaces containers with cracks, warping, or broken tabs
• Addresses issues where the container won't stay in place or slides out unexpectedly

• One container

• Disconnect power; if the appliance is plumbed, turn off the water supply
• Open the access area and carefully remove the old container to avoid damage to surrounding parts
• Transfer any reusable lids/caps or fittings from the original container, if applicable
• Seat the new container fully and check for proper fit and leak-free operation

The Seal is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part is designed to ensure a tight and secure seal for the zeolite container, which is used in some Bosch dishwashers for enhanced drying performance. The zeolite container holds a mineral that absorbs moisture and releases heat, aiding in the drying process. The seal prevents leaks and ensures that the container functions efficiently.

Causes of a bad Seal can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to high temperatures and moisture, and physical damage from improper handling or installation.

Symptoms of a bad Seal include:

• Leaks from the zeolite container area
• Reduced drying efficiency due to improper sealing
• Visible cracks, tears, or degradation in the seal material
• Increased moisture levels inside the dishwasher after the drying cycle

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

The Nut is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch dishwashers. It secures the retaining clip housing of the rubber sump gasket in place at the base of the dishwasher's interior tub walls. Proper tightening prevents leaks and water damage.

Causes of a bad nut can involve stripping of threads from constant vibrations during heavy wash cycles over many years. Corrosion may also weaken metal connections exposed to moisture.

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

This cap is a small closure used to cover and protect an opening or fastener on the appliance. Replacing a damaged or missing cap restores a secure seal and a clean, factory-finished appearance.

• Closes an access port or cavity to keep out moisture and debris
• Helps maintain proper fit and appearance where the cap seats
• Replace if cracked, warped, missing, or won't stay secured
• Prevents rattles and exposed openings caused by a loose or broken cap

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before beginning any repair
• Remove the old cap and clean the seating area
• Align tabs or threads and press or twist to secure—do not overtighten
• The cap sits flush and is firmly retained

The Fan is an OEM part for Bosch brand dishwashers. It works within the wash chamber to circulate air and enable optimum drying performance during the dishwashing cycle.

Causes of a bad fan can include a buildup of debris or residue that causes the blades to become unbalanced and contribute to loud noises, failure of electronic components that control fan motor operation, or physical damage to fan blades from impact.  

Symptoms of a bad fan include: 

• Dishes not drying properly
• Loud scraping or grinding noises coming from inside the dishwasher
• The fan not spinning or rotating during the cycle 

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

The Ventilation Duct is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It is a molded plastic component situated at the top of the appliance that serves two critical functions.

The ventilation duct allows steam and vapors produced during washing and drying cycles to efficiently escape. The duct also serves as the channel through which hot air is directed during the drying phase to evaporate water from clean dishes. 

Causes of a failed ventilation duct can include cracks that compromise a tight seal, or blockages obstructing smooth flow.

Symptoms of a bad ventilation duct include:

• Puddles or standing water inside the dishwasher
• Dishes failing to fully dry at the end of cycles
• High humidity or moisture trapped inside the appliance
• Hot air not properly channeled through the drying passages

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

This ventilation duct is the in-line connector that channels exhaust air from the appliance to the house vent, helping maintain proper airflow and reduce back-drafting. Designed to fit compatible Bosch ventilation assemblies. What it does:

• Routes exhaust air from the appliance to the home vent or hood exhaust system.
• Replaces damaged, bent, or disconnected ducting that can restrict airflow.
• Helps reduce odors and heat buildup by restoring a clear exhaust pathway.
• Works as a direct replacement part where the OEM duct is specified.

• One ventilation duct/duct connector as shown.

• Turn off power to the appliance and ensure the unit is cool before servicing.
• Inspect surrounding seals and fasteners; replace any damaged clamps or gaskets separately.
• Slide or fasten the duct into place and secure with appropriate clamps; ensure a tight, unobstructed path.
