The Lower Door Seal is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in preventing water from leaking out of the dishwasher door during cycles. This seal is positioned along the bottom of the door, ensuring a tight and secure closure that keeps water contained within the unit.
Causes of a bad Lower Door Seal may stem from various factors. These include natural wear and tear due to extended use, chemical degradation caused by harsh detergents, physical damage like tears or cuts, as well as improper installation or alignment.
Symptoms of a bad Lower Door Seal include:
- Water leaking from the bottom of the dishwasher door
- Visible signs of wear or damage on the seal
- Mold or mildew buildup on the seal due to constant moisture exposure
This OEM Bosch part can also be used on Thermador and Gaggenau appliances.
