Bosch Dishwasher SHE55RF5UC/63 Leaking

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This component is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher. It operates via electrical signals from the dishwasher's control board, opening to allow water to enter during the fill cycle and closing to prevent water from entering during other cycles. 

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve include mineral deposits from hard water, which can block the valve and restrict water flow, or electrical failure, which prevents the valve from opening or closing properly. 

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

• Dishwasher not filling with water, leading to unwashed dishes.
• Water leaking from the dishwasher, potentially caused by a valve that doesn't close completely.
• Overfilling of the dishwasher, which can occur if the valve fails to shut off.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Lower Door Seal is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in preventing water from leaking out of the dishwasher door during cycles. This seal is positioned along the bottom of the door, ensuring a tight and secure closure that keeps water contained within the unit.

Causes of a bad Lower Door Seal may stem from various factors. These include natural wear and tear due to extended use, chemical degradation caused by harsh detergents, physical damage like tears or cuts, as well as improper installation or alignment.

Symptoms of a bad Lower Door Seal include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the dishwasher door
• Visible signs of wear or damage on the seal
• Mold or mildew buildup on the seal due to constant moisture exposure

This OEM Bosch part can also be used on Thermador and Gaggenau appliances.

The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This hose is responsible for carrying the wastewater out of the dishwasher and into the household plumbing system during the draining cycle. It ensures the efficient removal of dirty water, allowing the dishwasher to function correctly and maintain optimal cleaning performance.

Causes of a bad drain hose can include blockages from food particles or debris, kinks or twists in the hose, or damage from wear and tear over time. If the drain hose is compromised, it can lead to drainage problems and potential water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad drain hose include:

• Water not draining from the dishwasher
• Puddles of water around or under the dishwasher
• Error codes related to drainage issues
• Visible damage or cracks in the hose

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