Bosch Dishwasher DF481701 Parts

Reduces hard-water minerals to prevent spotting and buildup on dishes and glassware. Replace when dishes show mineral deposits. Verify fit by model number.

The Funnel is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It helps accurately guide water from the inlet valve onto wash arms and other components inside the dishwasher.

As water flows through the funnel during each cycle, small debris particles can become trapped. Over time, a buildup of mineral deposits or grime occurs inside the funnel.

Causes are normal mineral accumulation from hard water, along with food particles or grit trapped during dishwasher use.

Symptoms of a bad funnel include:

• Reduced or uneven water pressure to spray arms
• Clogs or blockages that hamper water flow
• Mineral deposits visible inside the funnel

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