Questions & Answers

For Bosch Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser Lid (Part Number: OEM8406993)

1 Answer

Albert, the spring isn't listed as a spring, the 00166630 / 00166630Detergent Cup Latch (with Spring) would be the part to order for the detergent cup lid spring. You may or may not need the latch assembly, but you'll have it if you do need it. Just view and follow the video and you'll be fine and operating properly in a few minutes. The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

John for Model Number Bosch SHU43C05UC/14

The lid on the detergent dispenser will not stay closed. I took off the door and all 4 tabs are in tact and not broken. There is a bit of play as the door slides down the track and into the slots where it is supposed to lock into place. Do I need to just replace the lid or is something else at play here? Can you please give me your expert opinion on what is going on as this just started last night. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, John

1 Answer

John, If there is play on the track then it would be recommended to replace the detergent dispenser.

Stephanie, The gasket should be able to just be able to push into place on the lid.

Sue, If the dispenser will not open during the cycle then it sounds like the dispenser is faulty and would need to be replaced.

Francis, What you don't see in the video is the mechanical latch and switch that activate and unlatch the door to allow the spring to slide the detergent door over and open. The detergent dispenser 00490467 is mounted to the door liner, and the mechanical devices are on the back side and positioned between the inner and outer door liners. When the control calls to dispense the detergent, power is applied to the switch and the switch moves the latch and unlocks the door and it slides open. in the rinse cycle the same switch is activated and it in turns activates the plunger for the rinse agent, and it is dispensed. At the end of the cycle everything resets, when you load in the detergent, and slide the door closed, the latch catches the door and it is set and ready to open when the control gets to the increment to release the detergent.

Hello Patricia, the manufacturer offers the lid with a spring under part number 00182136 but that part is currently on back order with no anticipated date of arrival. You can purchase the assembly part number 00431413 that includes a new lid and spring, thanks!

Mary, Unfortunately there would be no way to get the seal back on and you will need to replace the dispenser assembly W10861000.
