Parts for Bosch SHEM3AY55N/01: Fascia Panel / Wire Harness / Main Switch 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 operating module is the appliance's electronic control board for the user interface. It reads your control inputs and communicates with the main control so programs select and run predictably. Replace a failed module to restore consistent panel response.

• Processes control-panel inputs and manages cycle/program selection
• Communicates with the main control to execute start, pause, and option commands
• Drives control-panel indicators or display feedback
• Common failure symptoms include unresponsive buttons, no lights/beeps at the panel, intermittent inputs, or inability to start a cycle

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Use ESD protection; handle the board by its edges
• Photograph connectors and transfer wiring one at a time to the same locations
• Ensure ribbon/plug connectors are fully seated and harnesses aren't pinched before restoring power

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.
 

The On/Off Switch is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This switch controls the power to the dishwasher, allowing the user to turn the appliance on and off. It is typically located on the control panel and is essential for initiating and halting the wash cycles.

Causes of a bad On/Off switch can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage such as cracks or breaks. When the switch fails, it can prevent the dishwasher from powering on or off correctly, disrupting the appliance's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad On/Off switch include:

• Dishwasher not turning on
• Difficulty in turning the dishwasher off
• The switch feeling loose or unresponsive
• Flickering power or intermittent operation

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

The Panel-Facia Dishwasher is an OEM component specifically designed for premium Bosch dishwashers. As an interactive control hub, it facilitates customized wash cycles through an intuitive LED display and responsive buttons. The panel-facia enhances user efficiency through simple cycle programming tailored for every washload.

Symptoms of a faulty panel include:

• Non-responsive or uncalibrated buttons   
• Faded, distorted, or inoperable screens
• Inability to access specialized cycles or options
• Requiring control board replacement instead of a quick fix

Causes of damage can include cracks or chips developing from years of repeated impacts around the edge. Liquid intrusion-inducing shorts circuiting delicate electronics are also common. 

Replacing with this genuine Bosch facia restores optimized convenience and customized cleaning. Compatible with Miele, Thermador, and Gaggenau dishwashers as well, an OEM replacement maximizes hygienic results through intuitive controls crafted by the manufacturer. Performance reliability maintains security for trusted dish results.

• Helps address puddling, dampness, or seepage around the unit
• Maintains proper performance and helps prevent water damage to surrounding components

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Access the sealed joint and note the original orientation and seating depth
• Clean mating surfaces; do not use sealants unless specified by the manufacturer
• Seat the new seal evenly; lightly lubricate with a water-safe lubricant and run a test cycle to check for leaks

The Button is an OEM part specifically designed for touch control interfaces on Bosch dishwashers. Comprising replacement buttons and membranes, it facilitates an intuitive selection of cycles and options. Working precisely behind lighted displays, the button kit provides customized care for every load.  

Symptoms of faulty buttons include:

• Failure to register inputs or select desired programs
• Stuck buttons refusing some commands altogether   
• Peeling or degradation diminishes legibility over time

Causes relate to general wear sustained through continuous use over many years. Minor spills or moisture seepage may also degrade adhesive bonding beneath plastic surfaces.

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

The Push Button Set is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This push button set is integral to the user interface, allowing for the customization of wash cycles according to the needs of the load.

Causes of deterioration can range from physical damage from frequent use or cleaning agents that degrade the materials, to internal faults in the mechanism or electrical connections that register the button press.

Symptoms of a bad Push Button Set include:

• Unresponsive buttons, which fail to activate or select the desired cycle or setting
• Sticking buttons that remain depressed after being pressed
• Visible wear or damage, such as cracks or fading, which can indicate that the buttons are due for a replacement
• Difficulty in setting the dishwasher programs, which can lead to improperly washed dishes due to incorrect cycle selection

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

The Push Button Set is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It serves as the interface controlling various wash functions through programmed inputs. Responsiveness and reliability allow for convenient cycle selection.

Causes of a bad push button set can include normal wear from extensive use over time. Exposure to moisture penetration or residual cleaning chemicals could impact electronic components. 

Symptoms of a bad push button set include:

• Difficulty activating buttons fully to change settings  
• Functions that automatically reset or will not save selections  
• Lighted displays or indicators failing to illuminate controls
• Complete non-responsiveness requiring replacement of the set
