Parts for Bosch SHE43F12UC/61: 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

The Control Unit is an OEM component specially designed for select Bosch dishwashers. As the appliance's main processor, it directs all wash cycles, temperatures, times, and auxiliary features.

Integrated circuitry executes complex programs with precision to thoroughly clean varied loads efficiently. Sensors monitor functions and provide cycle status updates to the control panel interface. 

Symptoms indicating control unit replacement include:

• Cycles failing to start or responding incorrectly to input selections  
• Error codes displayed without reason or resolution through reset
• Inoperative auxiliary settings like speed adjustment or half-loads 

Causes stem from degradation over decades of continuous thermal and electronic stresses. Water intrusions pose risks as circuit boards are fragile to short circuits.

This OEM Bosch replacement part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore dishwashers utilizing identical cycles and diagnostics systems. Reinstallation ensures continued intended cycle performance.
 

The On/Off Switch is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It provides the function of powering the unit on or off with the press of a button.

Causes can be normal wear over thousands of cycles or moisture damage compromising electronics. Physical impact could also affect switch operation over time.

Symptoms of a bad on/off switch include:

• The dishwasher failing to start wash cycles when the switch is engaged
• Washers inadvertently stopping mid-cycle or short cycling irregularly
• The control panel lighting/interface malfunctioning or unresponsive

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

The Door Latch is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part securely closes the dishwasher door, ensuring that it locks in place during operation. The latch mechanism works by engaging with the door strike, preventing the door from opening while the dishwasher runs, which is essential for both the safety and proper functioning of the appliance.  

Causes for replacement often include normal wear and tear from regular use, accidental damage, or a malfunction that prevents the door from securely latching.  

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dishwasher door doesn't stay shut or locks intermittently.
• The dishwasher fails to start due to the door not being recognized as properly closed.
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the latch mechanism.

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

The Panel Facia is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It is the front control panel of your dishwasher, providing a clean and polished look.

A bad panel facia can occur due to wear and tear over time, accidental damage, or exposure to moisture and cleaning agents. Signs of a faulty facia include cracks, discoloration, or a loose fit that compromises the aesthetic appeal of your dishwasher.

Symptoms of a bad panel facia include:

• Cracks or visible damage on the surface
• Discoloration or fading
• A loose or missing panel

Replace your damaged or worn-out panel facia with this genuine OEM Bosch part to restore the appearance of your dishwasher. This Bosch part can also be used on Thermador and Gaggenau appliances.
