Parts for Bosch SHE45M06UC/56: 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.
