Parts for Bosch SGE53U55UC/A5: Control Panel 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

Symptoms of faulty buttons include:

• Failure to register inputs or select desired programs
• Stuck buttons refusing some commands altogether   
• Peeling or degradation diminishes legibility over time

Causes relate to general wear sustained through continuous use over many years. Minor spills or moisture seepage may also degrade adhesive bonding beneath plastic surfaces.

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

The Push Button Set is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This push button set is integral to the user interface, allowing for the customization of wash cycles according to the needs of the load.

Symptoms of a bad Push Button Set include:

• Unresponsive buttons, which fail to activate or select the desired cycle or setting
• Sticking buttons that remain depressed after being pressed
• Visible wear or damage, such as cracks or fading, which can indicate that the buttons are due for a replacement
