This dishwasher door spring counterbalances the door's weight for smooth, controlled opening and closing. Replacing a worn or broken spring restores proper door tension and helps prevent the door from dropping quickly or feeling heavy.

• Provides tension to counterbalance the dishwasher door during opening and closing
• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling overly heavy
• A weakened or broken spring can cause uneven door movement, squeaks, or the door not staying in a partial-open position
• Restores smooth, even door operation when replaced

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the toe-kick and carefully slide the dishwasher out to access the side/frame area where the spring attaches
• Note the original spring attachment points and orientation; install the new spring in the same locations
• Springs are under tension—use caution and hand protection; many replace both springs together to maintain balanced tension

The Spray Head is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It directs pressurized water along the dish racks, targeting every inch of dishware and cookware. Consistent coverage cleans thoroughly without waste.   

Symptoms of a bad spray head can include clogged nozzles, inconsistent patterns, or spray heads that do not oscillate and rotate properly through cycles. Mineral deposits pose blockage risks over time.

Causes of a bad spray head include:

• Uneven or skipped areas of spray coverage inside the machine
• Rotating/oscillating mechanisms that jam or continuously stick  
• Nozzles fully or partially blocked reducing water pressure
• Head assembly detaching from water tub wall or bracket

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