Customer Questions and Answers for Sleeve, 1-Pack by Bosch

This sleeve is a small guide/bushing used in select Bosch-built appliances. It spaces and supports a moving component to keep it aligned and reduce friction, helping the mechanism operate smoothly and quietly.

• Acts as a bushing/spacer around a pin or shaft to guide motion
• Helps maintain alignment of connected parts
• Reduces friction and wear between mating surfaces
• A worn or missing sleeve can cause wobble, rough movement, or squeaking/clicking noises

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Note the sleeve's orientation and seated depth during removal to match on installation
• Inspect the mating pin/shaft and surrounding parts; replace if worn for best fit
• Verify smooth movement by hand before reassembly and testing
