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.

Hi Harvey. It clarifies something I did not realize when you sent the pictures. I apologise but there are 2 different series of your model # and I only knew of the first one. Anyway, Yes , the detergent latch w/spring should be exactly what you need part # 00166630. You can also create a log in on our web page. Then insert your model # in the parts search and on the left, scroll down to the door Assy. You must have already have been there. There is the exploded view of # 15 , # 19 , #20 and # 21 are all suggested parts because since you are in there it may pay to have it all new since rubber parts deteriorate. Thank You.

Bend retainer tabs, the push dispenser inward toward tank. Protect hand with towel as edges are sharp.
Replace from inside of tank --position O-ring seal and bend tabs to secure. When replacing dispensers, lubricate O-rings with rinse-aid & support inner doors to avoid damage if O-rings stick.
