Parts for Bosch SGV45E03UC/18: Pump 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

• Helps stop leaks caused by loose or slipping hoses
• Keeps hoses seated during normal appliance operation and vibration
• Commonly used on dishwasher and washer drain or water hoses

• One hose clip / spring clamp

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting repairs
• Use pliers to expand the clamp for removal and reinstall; ensure hose is fully seated before releasing clamp
• Inspect the hose and fitting for damage; replace any cracked or brittle hose
• Do not overtighten or deform clamp when installing; replace if corroded or weakened

The Sump to Water Inlet Hose is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It efficiently transports water from the internal sump to the dishwasher's inlet valve during wash cycles. The flex hose comes with 2 o-rings. Approximate size: 19 5/8 inch.

Symptoms of a faulty sump hose include:

• Incomplete or ineffective washing from insufficient water transfer
• Hoses detaching from connections allow water to spill
• Reduced water pressure signs like slower fills or weak sprays
• Leakage where the hose connects to other components

Over many uses, mineral deposits can build inside the hose restricting flow. Physical damage like cracks or kinks also inhibits proper drainage. Replace your hose with this genuine Bosch part to restore maximal washing capacity.

Compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models utilizing the same hose dimensions, this OEM hose ensures washing needs are consistently met.

This O-ring is the sealing gasket between mating components, keeping fluid contained inside the system. Replacing a worn ring restores a tight, leak-free connection and helps prevent drips, moisture, and leak-related error indications.

• Creates a compressible seal between parts to prevent leaks at the joint
• Helps maintain proper system flow by stopping seepage or air ingress
• Direct replacement for rings that are flattened, cracked, brittle, swollen, or missing
• Common symptoms include dripping at the connection, moisture beneath the unit, or leak/float error alerts

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing; wear appropriate PPE.
• Note the original ring's location; clean the groove and mating surfaces before installation.
• Apply a light coat of compatible silicone grease; avoid twisting or overstretching the ring.
• Seat evenly, reassemble, restore service, and check for leaks during a test cycle.
