The Control Unit is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It serves as the central brain and command center, responsible for controlling and regulating all the functions and operations of the dishwasher. This component receives inputs from various sensors and user settings, and sends signals to control the water intake, heating elements, wash cycles, and other systems accordingly.
Causes of a bad control unit can include electrical malfunctions, power surges, physical damage from moisture or impact, or general wear and tear over time. A faulty control unit can lead to a wide range of issues, affecting the overall performance and functionality of the dishwasher.
Symptoms of a bad control unit include:
- Dishwasher not starting or responding to user inputs
- Error codes or warning lights displayed on the control panel
- Specific cycles or features not functioning correctly
- Erratic or unpredictable behavior during wash cycles
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore dishwasher models.
