Matt September 09, 2018 for Model Number SHE53T52UC Our Bosch dishwasher is 2.5 years old. It recently started leaking from the right side intermittently. Now it's leaking from the left and right side with puddles at the bottom sides of the door. I've cleaned the spray arms, they are not clogged. I've cleaned the filter. I've cleaned the dishwasher. I've ensured the dishwasher is balanced. There are no apparent cracks in the door gasket and I've cleaned that was well. However, when I put a piece of paper in the closed door, it does slide out easily along most of the top of the door and at one spot on the left hand side of the door. The right side seal seems tight when tested with the paper pull test. Do you think the door gasket needs to be replaced or could it be something else?
1 Answer Matt, Aside from the door being warped for some reason, the door seal is most likely the cause. As long as the door is sitting tight on the hinges and nothings blocking the door from closing.12054183 Read More...
Laura November 03, 2017 When replacing the door gasket, what is the proper placement of the ribs? Several repairmen have been here, and the door gasket was removed, cleaned, replaced, and at this point, I am not certain it was replaced properly, thus, I cannot just copy what I see when installing a new door gasket. There is a wide "flange", and I don't know if this is the part that gets inserted into the channel, or if this wide part should be facing OUT toward the door. This is Bosch. Thank you!
1 Answer Laura, The larger round side of the door gasket will attach to the tub and the other side will attach to the door opening. When looking at the gasket on the outside it should be relatively smooth and on the inner back part will be 3 holes that go at the bottom. Read More...

Frustrated Bosch Owner October 06, 2014 for Model Number SHE55M05UC/50 Bosch parts site cross-referenced seal 00494772 to my SHE55M05UC/50 dishwasher. I ordered the seal directly from Bosch, but when received, seal 00494772 was 4 inches (100 mm) shorter than the original seal, and, when in place, did not extend inward from the installation channel along the bottom of the dishwasher (approximately 2.5 inches) as did the original. When I contacted Bosch parts support, they advised this was the correct part, and that it required a special tool for installation which would stretch it to the proper length, which seems completely idiotic to me. So, I've two questions: 1. Is this correct? 2. If correct, how do I do it myself?
1 Answer Frustrated Bosch owner, The part that they have listed 12054183 is showing as the correct part but unfortunately we have never heard of an installation tool for putting a door seal in. It is possible that the seal was cut to short. Read More...
Tom December 08, 2012 for Model Number SHU9925UC/U12 FD8007 Door is leaking water at both sides of bottom. Would like to know how to install the seal PN AP2802338 and if I also need to replace the top and side seals.
1 Answer Hello Tom, This sounds more like an overfill situation since the bottom of the door is an air gap used as an air inlet for the dry cycle. The water, when filled to the proper level should not completely submerge the heating element. If it is filling to a higher level, the water inlet valve 00425458 should be replaced. I would check the spray arms 00359976, 00359975 for separations where the two halves are "melted" together at the factory. Also check the holes for debris since a "wave" in the water will cause water to jump the air gap. Read More...
