The Hinge Lever (RH) is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch dishwashers. This right-hand lever is a part of the dishwasher door hinge assembly, working to open and close the door during each use.
Causes of a bad hinge lever can include wear and fatigue over thousands of opening and closing cycles. Damage can also potentially occur from any impact or denting of the door surface near the lever mechanism.
Symptoms of an ineffective hinge lever include:
- The dishwasher door sagging or becoming misaligned
- Difficulty fully opening or closing the door
- Loud squeaks or grinding noises coming from the hinges
- The door potentially detach from the hinge if broken
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore dishwashers.
