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.
