The Dispenser is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It dispenses detergent and rinse aid at appropriate times during the dishwashing cycle, ensuring optimal cleaning and rinsing performance. The dispenser is essential for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of your dishwasher.

Causes of a bad dispenser can include clogging from detergent residue, mechanical failure of the dispenser door or latch, or electronic issues that prevent proper operation. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help mitigate these problems, but parts may still need replacement over time.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser include:

  • Inconsistent or improper dispensing of detergent or rinse aid
  • Dishwasher leaving spots or residue on dishes
  • The dispenser door not opening during the cycle
  • Leaks or drips from the dispenser area

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

Questions & Answers

For Bosch Dispenser (Part Number: OEM11532942)

1 Answer

KSMITH, with the dispenser door operating as such, the detergent lid 00166621 will need to be inspected for broken brackets. The actuator lever 00166632 and actuator 00166635 will also need to be inspected for any broken connections as well. Once these are verified as functional, the unit will need to be placed into a wash cycle with access to the dispenser and the actuator tested for voltage during the cycle. The actuator should receive voltage after the initial rinse wash to open the dispenser door and if it does not, the main control 00184605 has failed. If it does, then the actuator has failed.

Scott, Normally you can bend these tabs out a hair, then when they lock in place you push inward on the dispenser and press the tabs back in at the same time.

Rex B for Model Number SHU9915UC/11 (FD8205140495)

I purchased a replacement dispenser here locally. The part number on the new box is 00263088. when I went to replace the faulty dispenser in my machine, I discovered the new part has an open end (possibly for venting?) and also the new part has a place for two wire sets. The old unit that I removed has a closed/sealed end where a vent would go and it only has one place to plug in a wire set. I believe the 00263088 in not the correct part. But your web site shows I need the 00263088 as well. IM confused! Which part do I need? it looks like I might need part number 490467 is this correct? Also does Part number 490467 come with the rubber gasket?

Rex, It sounds as though the part may have been mispackaged as the part needed only shows one connection point and is part number 00263088.

Robert, The plugs that are on the unit should be spade connectors and should be able to just plug the connectors in. If the original is in a casing then remove the terminal connector to get them on.

Terri, The detergent dispenser for the model number you supplied is 00490467 / 00490467. You may want to check and make sure the water temperature is hot enough, it should be 120 dgrs.F. at the first fill of the cycle or it won't "break down" the detergent properly. and check the water level in the bottom of the tub should be at least 1/2-3/4 inch deep. The rinse dispenser, depending on the setting should dispense 1/4 tepn to 1 tspn of agent per cycle. The dispenser may have a clogged plunger or the linkage is distorted and holding the rinse agent dispenser open.
