Parts for Bosch SHE53TL2UC/01: Facia Panel / Controller Unit 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 part for Bosch dishwashers. It contains the electronic components responsible for operating and monitoring all dishwasher functions and cycles.

The Wire Harness is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch dishwashers requiring electrical connections between moving components. It facilitates signal and current pathways throughout appliance frames.

Reinforced flexing sections bend without kinks accommodating shifting door movements. While connector joints remain snug against jostling. This daisy chain design simplifies diagnostics and maintenance procedures compared to individual wiring. 

Symptoms signaling the need for a new harness include:

• Intermittent cycle malfunctions indicating loose or corroded connections  
• Broken or cracked housing exposing live conductors to shorting hazards
• Overly taut sections hindering the intended range of component motions

Causes relate to prolonged abrasion stresses and water damage compromising insulation throughout thousands of cycles. Physical damage during repairs may require a complete replacement of this integral wiring backbone.

This OEM Bosch replacement harness is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore dishwashers relying on consistent control schemes. Reinstallation restores reliable electrical pathways.
