Bosch Dishwasher SHE6AP02UC/06 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 Middle Spray Arm is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It is a rotating component located in the lower dishwasher rack that assists in evenly distributing water across dishes during the wash cycle. 

Symptoms of a bad spray arm include:

• Incomplete cleaning of dishes, even after multiple cycles  
• Soap scum or food soils remaining in hard-to-reach areas
• Dishes coming out either spotty or dry in areas not rinsed properly

Causes of spray arm failure can be worn out or damaged arm brackets preventing proper rotation, cracks in the arm itself inhibiting water coverage, or mineral buildup inhibiting 360-degree rotation. 

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

The Lower Door Seal is an  OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It provides a water-tight barrier around the perimeter of the lower dishwasher door during cycle operation. Proper sealing is necessary to contain high-temperature water, steam and noise within the wash chamber.

Causes of a bad lower door seal can include deterioration of the sealing material over many years of use and exposure to hot chemicals. Physical damage such as tears or compression marks from over-tightening the door may also compromise sealing ability.

Symptoms of a bad lower door seal include:

• Puddles or leaks at the base of the dishwasher door
• Excess moisture, mineral deposits or mold growth outside the unit
• Inability to reach high temperatures or pressure inside the chamber
• Noise complaints as sound escapes during washing

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