Parts for Bosch SHE45M05UC/48: 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.

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.

• 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.

This cable harness routes power and signals between components to restore reliable electrical connections. Replacing a damaged harness helps stop intermittent operation and eliminates exposed or broken wiring that can cause component failures. What it does

• Reconnects power and control signals between appliance modules and components.
• Replaces damaged, frayed or burned wiring that can cause shorts or loss of function.
• Commonly fixes intermittent operation, components that do not power on, or complete failure of a circuit.
• Maintains correct wire routing and secure terminals for safe, reliable operation.

• Disconnect all power before starting work to avoid shock or injury.
• Compare the harness to the original and follow the OEM wiring diagram for correct routing and terminal locations.
• Securely seat all connectors and use proper strain reliefs; avoid pinching wires when reassembling panels.

This control panel frame supports the user interface assembly and front fascia, keeping buttons and display properly aligned. Replacing a cracked or warped frame restores a secure console fit and consistent control response.

• Provides the structural housing and mounting points for the control/user interface assembly
• Maintains alignment of buttons, display, and touchpad overlay for reliable operation
• Secures the console and covers internal control components
• Typical signs of failure: loose or sagging control panel, broken tabs, gaps at the console, buttons sticking or misaligned

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Support the console while removing screws/clips to protect wiring and connectors
• Transfer the user interface, control board, and hardware from the old frame to the new one one-for-one
• Ensure all tabs engage and do not overtighten screws to avoid cracking the frame

Symptoms signaling the need for a new panel-facia include:

• Gaps permitting water intrusion compromising connected circuitry
• Loosened control mountings enabling unintended contact separation 
• Fatigued fastening points releasing entire control assemblies

Causes requiring replacement relate to repeated expansion and contraction cycles stressing adhesives and joints. Direct impacts may also deform secure positioning preventing proper interfacing. 

This OEM Bosch replacement panel is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models relying on robustly attached interface housings. Correct installation restores sealing and component positioning.
