Dishwasher Switch

The Sensor is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It detects soil levels through cycles, automatically adjusting water volumes and times for optimal cleaning. Precise sensing reduces overwashing.

Causes of a bad sensor involve general deterioration from continuous usage monitoring wash parameters thousands of times. Dirt or debris accumulation triggers false readings, decreasing efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad sensor include:

• Extended cycle times as improper inputs cause system delays  
• Inconsistent wash results relying on default static cycle settings
• Error codes displayed indicating disrupted functionality
• Soiled dishes from inadequate adjustments meant for heavier loads 

This OEM Bosch part maintains customized cleaning for Thermador versions as well.

The Pressure Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in monitoring water pressure inside the dishwasher, signaling the control module when to activate various components during the wash and rinse cycles. Overl or under pressure conditions could damage the dishwasher or prevent it from cleaning properly.

Symptoms of a bad pressure switch include: 

• Dishes not getting fully clean 
• Cycles not completing or getting stuck
• Error codes displaying
• Strange noises or leaks coming from the dishwasher

Causes of a bad pressure switch can be wear and tear over time, mineral buildup interfering with the switch's function or accidental damage from household chemicals or objects left in the dishwasher. 

This OEM Frigidaire replacement part is designed to function like the original part for reliable performance. It is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models. 
 

Overfill control.

The Pressure Chamber is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part is responsible for monitoring and controlling the water level within the dishwasher. It operates by sensing the pressure exerted by the height of the water in the tub and ensures that the dishwasher fills with the correct amount of water for optimal cleaning performance.

Causes for replacement may involve wear and tear over extended use, mineral buildup affecting the switch’s sensitivity, or electrical faults leading to inconsistent performance.  

Symptoms of a failing Pressure Chamber include:

• Overfilling or underfilling of the dishwasher, which can lead to inadequate cleaning or potential water damage.
• Unexpected changes in the wash cycle, such as sudden stops or pauses.
• The dishwasher not starting a wash cycle due to incorrect water level readings.

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